The Tohoku Project of the 14th Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee has begun!

What is the Tohoku Project?

Inauguration and transition of the project

touhokulogo In 2013, two years after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, most of the students in Kyoto, including the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee, had not yet seen the actual situation in Tohoku with their own eyes. This project was launched with the desire to see and feel this unprecedented disaster by going directly to the disaster area, and to think about what they can do.
Last year, we incorporated a tour of the disaster-stricken area and a seminar from the Disaster Volunteer Center into the itinerary, and provided an opportunity to learn about the Great Japan Earthquake itself, and in order to disseminate this information to everyone Mr./Ms.in the Kyoto area, we held a report on the results of the disaster, creating an opportunity to reflect on and think about the disaster together with the Mr./Ms. of Kyoto.

Initiatives in Fiscal 2016

In order to bring many smiles and excitement to the local people, this visit will focus on the odori project that is popular with the local people (“Kyo Flame Fude It!” performance and exchange). After the visit, the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee will hold debriefing sessions and projects related to disaster prevention not only for the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee and its related parties, but also for the people of the Kyoto area, so that more people will have an opportunity to remember the Great Japan Earthquake, and the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee will prevent the earthquake from fading into society in the Kyoto area and raise awareness of disaster prevention.
In addition, we will conduct fundraising activities for the Kumamoto earthquake out of a desire to support Mr./Ms. who were affected by the Kumamoto earthquake that occurred in April 2016. We aim to connect the circle of support for those affected by the Kumamoto earthquake from Tohoku to Kumamoto via Kyoto, and to raise awareness of disaster prevention in the Kyoto area.

Three Significance of the Project

1. We will deliver the energy and smiles of Kyoto students directly to the local people, and strive for continuous emotional exchange with Kyoto students.
2. By directly seeing, hearing, and feeling the Great East Japan Earthquake on site, we will lead to the personal growth of Kyoto students.
3. By disseminating what we felt and learned in Tohoku in Kyoto, we will prevent the disaster from fading.

It was planned to be a place to talk, listen to, and share ideas for the future of the town in the Oe region.

Taking advantage of the “town area” on the first day and the interaction with local people, in the workshop on the second day, through work to draw the shape of Oe and to think about a date plan, “What would be nice to have in Oe, what is wonderful now?” We came up with ideas for town development.

The members of the community development council who participated in the workshop said, “I want to receive ideas and opinions that I have never thought of and make the most of them,” and “I want to hear the voices of high school students more and more.” I received the impression.

A high school student who experienced interaction with local people at this workshop said, “I was thinking that if I went to university, I wouldn’t come back to my hometown, but as I listened to today’s story and learned about the various merits, I realized that it is not easy to divide.” I was able to gain a regional and social perspective for future planning.

In addition, when I saw the university students involved as facilitators, I felt that my desire to go to university was strengthened. I was inspired.

The university students who participated in the event said, “If you take an interest in the area, the local people will do their best to return the favor. That’s what I learned.

The Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council conducted a questionnaire survey of the participants of this workshop and summarized the extent to which it influenced the skill development of high school and university students, as well as the impact on cultivating social and regional perspectives.

Implementation Report

“High school students will also become teachers!? With an emphasis on “high school students talking,” we challenged participants to compose their own life histories in order to gain the strength to take a step forward toward the future of the participants and the future of Kumihama.

The high school students’ stories about the future based on past events and current experiences were full of pride and hope for the Kumihama area. In this way, from the stories of high school students who were affectionate for the Kumihama area, the university students felt that “the brightness of high school students is unique to what they want to do,” and the local people left the impression that “I felt that I should do my best by listening to the solid opinions of the high school students.”

This workshop was planned and run by 15 university students.

Attracted by the keywords “community,” “education,” and “high school students,” the university students gathered at a training camp in Kumihama from the day before and organized a workshop for the day. Most of the university students were new to each other that day, but they showed great team strength and leadership skills in order to achieve the goals they had set.

On the other hand, the high school students realized the importance of the ability to step forward, saying, “I wanted to move forward without giving up” and “I want to be like the university students who came today” by asking university students and local people about their dreams and hopes.

We were able to create such a place for “mutual learning” without the cooperation of the local community, who listened carefully to the high school students and warmly watched the activities of the university students. “It makes me happy when I hear young people say, ‘I want to go back to my hometown,’ and I want to do my best to connect that to a concrete vision.” As the saying goes, it was also a place for local people to “learn from each other”.

About the results of the implementation of “Maruttoku in Ayabe”

gist

High school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture have fewer opportunities to learn about universities and interact with current university students than high school students in urban areas because there are no universities located nearby.
In addition, there are few opportunities to experience local history and culture and talk at length with people who work in the local area, and many young people graduate from high school without having an image of working and living in their hometown as adults, move to urban areas after graduating from high school, and start their careers as members of society in other areas after graduating from university.

Therefore, with the aim of developing the careers of high school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture and fostering human resources who will support the community, the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council held a workshop “Maruttoku in Ayabe” in Ayabe City, this time in Ayabe City, following on from Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City.

Outline of Implementation

schedule		Friday, March 13, 2015 and Saturday, March 14, 2015
place		Satoyama Exchange and Training Center (Ayabe City)
sponsorship		Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council (Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education, Kyoto City Board of Education, Kyoto Prefectural Federation of Private Junior and Senior High Schools, Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and Industry, University Consortium Kyoto)
cooperation		Kyoto Prefecture Northern Regional and University Cooperation Organization Non-profit organization Satoyama Net Ayabe
participant	High School Students	16 students (15 students from Kyoto Prefectural Ayabe High School, 1 student from Kyoto Prefectural Fukuchiyama High School)
	university student	15 (Ryukoku University, Kyoto Seika University, Doshisha Women’s University, Kyoto Women’s University, Ritsumeikan University, Kobe University, Kansai University, University)
	working adult	13 (residents of the former Toyosato Nishi Elementary School District, etc.)

Implementation Report

Once again, the university students were able to deepen their understanding of local history and culture through a tour of the Gunze Museum, a walk around the Shigago area, and a lecture by the director of the Ayabe Special Products Museum, before the actual performance of the next day.
The high school students seemed a little nervous in the morning, but gradually relaxed as they made pizza with the university students, and in the afternoon they participated in the dialogue with the university students and working adults with relaxed expressions. In addition, I was impressed by the enthusiasm of university students and working adults about their life stories so far, and the way they wrestled and actively asked questions. The participants were not only people who have lived in the local area for a long time, but also people who have made I-turns and U-turns, and they spoke frankly about what they feel on a daily basis, such as the charms and challenges of Ayabe and expectations for young people, which was a good stimulus for university and high school students.

　　

　　

Through this workshop, the high school students were able to reaffirm their dreams and goals, gain the courage to move toward their realization, and reaffirm the charm of Ayabe, while the university students developed their facilitation skills by leading the dialogue and gained new insights by looking back on their lives so far. Local residents also commented, “It was good to be able to talk with young people, and I would like to participate again.” It became a meaningful initiative for high school students, university students, and local residents.

We would like to brush up on the results of this fiscal year and continue to implement this project next year.

Kyoto Student Festival 12/6 (Sun) “Kyo Flame Sodefure! Please come ≪ us≫

To express our gratitude, we will hold the “Kyo Flame Sodefure Festival”!

The 13th Kyoto Student Festival (Main Festival) held on Sunday, October 11 was a great success, with a total of 144,000 people attending. This year’s festival, which is based on the themes of “Kyoto” and “International,” is the culmination of various exchange activities throughout the year, and we have planned a variety of genres such as dance, food, music, and sports. In addition, due to the redevelopment work of Okazaki Park this year, the main stage with the newly reborn Jingu-do in the background of Otenmon was very popular with visitors, and the attractive performances by the students, centered on the powerful stage overlooking the entire venue, created a sense of unity throughout the venue.
We would like to express our gratitude once again to everyone who came to the event and who have been supporting this activity in various fields on a daily basis.
Therefore, to express our gratitude to all of you, we will hold the “Kyoen Sodefure Festival“. There are odori, delicious food, and many children’s projects, making it a place for interaction between Mr./Ms. and generations. Please invite your family and friends to join us. We look forward to seeing you there.

What is the Kyoto Student Festival?

Students in Kyoto, who transcend the boundaries of universities, collaborate with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university to disseminate “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalize the Kyoto area, and create new attractions.
After a variety of community exchange activities throughout the year, such as the promotion of the original creative odori “Kyoen Sodefure!” and water sprinkling activities, a grand festival is held every October as the culmination of these activities.
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in the daily activities of the Student Executive Committee, and is providing support aimed at “student independence” that allows students to think and act on their own, and supports the activities that have been accumulated since the establishment of the Executive Committee so that they can make the most of what they have accumulated in the course of their activities so far at the main festival in October.
