Thank you for holding the event


The 15th Kyoto Student Festival 15th Anniversary Project The first pre-event in Ukyo was held on Sunday, June 4th, and thanks to everyone’s support and cooperation, we were able to successfully and grandly finish.
On the day of the event, we were able to carry out all the programs under the refreshing weather typical of June, which is the start of the 15th Kyoto Student Festival.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who came to the event and to all those who worked hard in various fields to hold the pre-event.




Event Report

The 15th Kyoto Student Festival was planned with the aim of providing as many students as possible with a place and opportunity to “fully demonstrate the potential of students,” which is the activity philosophy of the Kyoto Student Festival. In particular, this year’s festival aims to realize a “festival in which people can participate proactively” by inviting more students from various fields, including artistic fields such as fashion and art, who have not participated in the festival so far, to participate in the festival, and to contribute to the revitalization of the community by disseminating it as an attraction of Kyoto. By expanding the range of genres in this way, we planned the project with the goal of creating a unique student culture for the festival while increasing the number of collaborators, and eventually becoming the “Four Great Festivals of Kyoto” on a par with the three major festivals in Kyoto.


 
At the 15th Kyoto Student Festival, students themselves became “culture” and learned about Kyoto’s culture under the theme of creating “Kyoto student culture.”
By creating a new culture that adds a student-like character, and connecting it to the main festival of the Kyoto Student Festival (held on October 8), which is the culmination of these efforts, we aim to become a festival that is more rooted in Kyoto and loved by people while demonstrating the student-ness.
The first event, “15th Anniversary Festa in Ukyo feat. Subway Tozai Line 20th Anniversary,” will be held on Sunday, June 4 at Kyoto Gakuen University’s Kyoto Uzumasa Campus.
In addition to the Kyoen merry-go-round, which includes various cultures and holds a 360-degree parade that resembles a merry-go-round, a fashion show by international students in collaboration with the project to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the return of Taisei, and the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Tozai Subway Line.
Mr./Ms. has a lot of project contents that can be enjoyed by everyone from small children to adults, such as a driver experience using a collaborative train simulator.
The University Consortium Kyoto supports the various activities that students carry out on a daily basis, and we will support them so that they can make the most of them at the culmination of the festival (October 8).
The students of the executive committee are also looking forward to seeing you, so please come to the venue.

Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee held a “Partner Exchange Meeting”!

We held our first initiative, “Partner Exchange Meeting”!

_MG_0095 _MG_0042

On Wednesday, May 24, we invited people from the government, companies, local communities, and universities who are indebted to the Kyoto Student Festival to participate in the Kyoto Student Festival, and held a partner exchange meeting on Wednesday, May 24.

At the exchange meeting, for those who came to the event, touch the Kyoto flame! In addition, we reported on the details of this year’s pre-event, the highlights of the October Main Festival (the day of the Kyoto Student Festival), the announcement of the main visual, and the collaboration with project partners. In addition, through the “Kyoto Tea Expo,” one of the cultural projects that the Kyoto Student Festival is collaborating with this year, we attended workshops on “Uji Tea Culture and History” and “Learning how to brew tea,” and since the executive committee members became “Premium Tea Ambassadors,” we also entertained visitors with tea brewed by the executive committee members.

We received words of support and encouragement from the government, companies, local communities, and universities who came to the event, and it seems that the students on the executive committee were even more energized. Thank you very much to everyone who attended.

The first pre-event of the 15th Kyoto Student Festival will be held on Sunday, June 4 at Kyoto Gakuen University’s Uzumasa Campus. Everyone, please come to the venue after inviting each other.

【Closed】 【For Students】Call for Entries for the 20th Kyoto International Student Film Festival Competition!! (~Until 4/28)


What is the Kyoto International Student Film Festival?

The Kyoto International Student Film Festival is the largest international student film festival in Japan and is now in its 20th year. Films and video works directed by a wide range of student directors, both in Japan and overseas, are solicited in a competition format, and the selected films are screened at the Kyoto International Student Film Festival (scheduled to be held in late November) and the best films are awarded.
Historically, Kyoto is a “movie town” that still inherits the cultural heritage of the early days of Japan cinema, and it is also a “university town and student town” where students account for 10% of the population of Kyoto City. The purpose of this festival is to create a place for international exchange and mutual understanding among student filmmakers and filmmakers, as well as to discover and disseminate new talents who will support the film industry in the future from among the many possibilities of student filmmakers.
