About the Kotokare High School Student Project

The “Kotokare High School Student Project” is a project born from the desire of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department to provide high school students who are unable to engage in activities satisfactorily due to the coronavirus pandemic with a place where they can plan something and gain a sense of accomplishment, and to provide them with an opportunity to think about their career paths through interviews and exchanges with university students.

Participants will interview university students and clubs in Kyoto together with members of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department, write articles for publication on the website “Kotokare”, and present what they have learned from the interviews at the debriefing session.

This year’s interviewees and interviewees are as follows.

・Ritsumeikan University Course, Faculty of Industrial Sociology, Mr./Ms. Y

・Doshisha University Course, Doshisha Co-op Student Committee

・Kyoto University Course: Kyoto University Magic Circle KUMA

Mr./Ms. Nakatani, a first-year student at Kyoto Municipal Horikawa High School, and Mr./Ms. Watanabe, a second-year student at Kyoto Municipal Saikyo High School, participated in the Kyoto University Course.

Interview Date: Saturday, October 22

A high school student heading to Kyoto University and a member of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department.

On Saturday, October 22, high school students and members of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department gathered at the venue, Campus Plaza Kyoto.

After everyone introduced themselves, the Kyoto University course, in which two high school students participated, took the Kyoto City Bus to the university. In the car, a member of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department took the lead in talking about high school studies and questions about university life, and deepened exchanges.

In addition, on this day, it was the day of the Jidai Festival, and I was able to enjoy the atmosphere of “a different Kyoto” in the procession that I could see through the window of the bus.

When I arrived at Kyoto University, it was time to start the interview. Mr./Ms. Nakatani asks questions to everyone Mr./Ms. of the Kyoto University Magical Art Research Group, and Watanabe asks new questions by expanding the topic from the answers Mr./Ms.. Although it was the first time we met, we proceeded with the interview in a coordinated play.

The articles written by the two will be published on the website “Kotokare” in December.

During the interview.

We had a special magic show.

November 19 (Sat) Achievement debriefing session

Mr./Ms. Watanabe makes a report using PowerPoint.

On Saturday, November 19, about a month after the interview, the participants gathered at Campus Plaza Kyoto. Each of the three courses shared what they heard and what they felt through the interviews.

Mr./Ms. Watanabe reported that he was surprised by the introduction and talk of the Kyoto University Magic Circle KUMA, and summarized the photos of the day in PowerPoint.
Mr./Ms. Watanabe uses PowerPoint to create materials even in high school. He was not afraid to report to the debriefing session surrounded by university students and secretariat staff.
The Kyoto Student Public Relations Department was amazed by the high quality of the materials and the advanced techniques for drawing the participants into the talks, sometimes with jokes.
In addition, Mr./Ms. Watanabe expressed his gratitude many times, saying, “Thank you very much for this opportunity.”

Mr./Ms. Nakatani commented, “I deepened my understanding of the university” and “I enjoyed the work of summarizing the knowledge I gained through the interview in the form of an article.”

In addition, the reports from the Ritsumeikan University Course and the Doshisha University Course also included stories that I noticed because I interviewed them from the perspective of the students, and I was able to share the new charms of the three universities.

Flipping through the “shaved head” card, a moment of tension.

After the presentation, we deepened our interaction through card games and chatting. For university students who have experienced it before, the worries that high school students currently have about studying and taking exams are all “I know, there was such a time.” Although the two high school students had a limited amount of time, they were able to get a real sense of what university life is like and what it is like to be a university student by working with university students.

The “Kotokare High School Student Project” was the first time that students were in charge of everything from planning to operation as the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department. The project members commented, “It was difficult, but I was glad that the high school students participated,” and “I want to make use of this experience to come up with a better plan,” and it was an opportunity for us to grow as a student organization.

The Kyoto Student Public Relations Department will continue to convey the “real charm of Kyoto” to junior high and high school students and prospective students nationwide through the website “Kotokare” and exchange programs.
