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”.

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.
