Looking Back on the 2017 Kyoto Student Festival

Looking back on the 15th Kyoto Student Festival 2017

Outline of the event

■The 15th Kyoto Student Festival Theme


■ Activity Goals

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Kyoto Student Festival, which began in 2003. This year, in order to create a festival that is on a par with Kyoto’s three major festivals, we have been working on activities that approach various cultures under the theme of “Creating a New Culture, ‘Kyoto Student Culture.'”

The 15th Kyoto Student Festival

For one year, the 15th Kyoto Student Festival has been working on the activities of “rediscovering Kyoto culture and international culture,” “fusing student character and culture,” and “widely disseminating the charm of Kyoto student culture.” In particular, this year’s event was an unprecedentedly rich year for the Kyoto Student Festival, as we were able to actively engage in activities in collaboration with the Kyoto Cultural Power Project, which is developed by Kyoto Prefecture and Kyoto City, where we learned about culture from cultural figures from Kyoto who are active in the world on the 15th of every month and arranged them from the perspective of students. In this way, we were able to create a unique student culture for the festival while increasing the number of partners, and as a result, we were able to get closer to the “Four Great Festivals of Kyoto,” which are on a par with the three major festivals in Kyoto.

Year-round activities other than the main festival

 

The Kyoto Student Festival aims to be a “festival” that is loved by the community and rooted in the community, and conducts daily exchange activities throughout the year together with the local community.
In 2017, in addition to our previous activities, we held a large-scale pre-event titled “Anniversari Festa” and took on various challenges to realize the purpose of the activities of the Kyoto Student Festival.

♦ Commemorative Projects

・June 4, 2017 [15th Anniversary Festa in. Ukyo feat. Subway Tozai Line 20th Anniversary]

 

 

・August 27, 2017 [15th Anniversary Festa in Kyoto Station Building & Porta]

♦ Community Exchange Activities

  • Nighttime patrols to protect the safety of the community (twice a month) Kyoto Okazaki and Anning area
  • Cleanup activities aimed at beautifying the area (about once a month) Kyoto Okazaki, Anning, Umeya, Sanjo area, Kamogawa

Student Support

 

Student Growth Programs

The University Consortium Kyoto supports students’ daily activities based on the principle of “creating their own initiative,” and hopes that “interaction” and “experience” with a wide variety of people in contact through independent activities will lead to new “awareness” and “learning” that will lead to student growth.
Specifically, we have adopted the PDCA cycle method, which treats student activities as a single project, and focuses on achieving results by working toward a single goal for each department. With the goal of smooth execution of activities, improvement of projects, and continuous development of businesses, we are working to create a system that promotes the growth of students by promoting the following support methods.

Implementation Report

 

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Kyoto Student Festival. I have been working hard every day under the theme of “Creating a ‘Kyoto Student Culture'”. On Sunday, October 8th, students who are active in various fields such as fashion, music, and food gathered here in Kyoto to create a festival unique to them, and the “trajectory” of the Kyoto Student Festival over the past 15 years.
In addition to the overwhelming odori “Kyo Flame Sodefure!”, music and fashion contests, fair-day projects where you can enjoy Kyoto’s food culture, and children’s projects that even small children can enjoy.
The Foundation, which plays a role in the Kyoto Student Festival Organizing Committee, in addition to providing support for the festival, sees the year-long activities as opportunities for student growth and develops a support system throughout the year. In particular, this year was also the 15th anniversary of the event, and it was a pre-large-scale activity that involved many commemorative projects, including the anniversary festival. In the visitor survey, it was found that these year-round efforts did not directly attract customers. However, I feel that the one-year activity experience has led to the students’ confidence and learning. As we mark the end of this milestone and the 16th anniversary, we will continue to assess the capabilities and potential of the executive committee (especially the students who serve as executive staff) and develop a system to support the executive committee so that it can continue to be the 20th and 30th anniversaries. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who came to the event and to all those who supported us in various ways in holding this project.

【For high school and university students in Kyoto Prefecture】 Call for Participants “High School-University Collaboration Future Session”



Against the backdrop of the declining birthrate and aging population, the term “regional revitalization” is often used by many people, but for whom and for what purpose is regional development carried out in the first place?

Why don’t you invite young ~ mid-career members of society who are actively engaged in regional development with various approaches as role models, ask them about their thoughts on regional development, and think about “who and what is the purpose of community development” while exchanging thoughts from various perspectives with university students and high school students living in Kyoto City and the northern Kyoto Prefecture area, with whom you do not usually interact?

Compared to a few decades ago, we are gradually changing to a society where women and men work together, but it is still not enough, and there are many issues to be addressed.
For this reason, it is necessary for men and women to have opportunities to think about their work and way of life from a long-term perspective, recognizing that there are turning points unique to women, such as childbirth, and the social conditions surrounding women, as well as recognizing the need for men’s work style reforms.
This time, we hope that you will be able to make choices that look as far ahead as possible when choosing a career path and job hunting, while touching on the working styles of people who are actively active in various fields and the ideas of student Mr./Ms. and student Mr./Ms. from other universities and schools that you do not usually interact with.

Outline of the 23rd FD Forum Symposium and Breakout Sessions

The following is an overview of the symposium and its subcommittees at the 23rd FD Forum, which will be held on March 3 and 4, 2018 at Kyoto Sangyo University (Kamigamo, Kita-ku, Kyoto).

Application Period【Friday, January 5, 2018 ~ Wednesday, January 31, 2018】

Symposium [March 3 (Sat) 13:00~17:00]

The past and future of FDs ~Thinking about FDs from various angles~

It has been 10 years since FD became mandatory in 2007 under the Standards for the Establishment of Universities. Each university has responded to the mandatory implementation by conducting FD workshops, open classes, and conducting class surveys, and has made efforts to improve educational capabilities. In the meantime, active learning has spread at an accelerated pace, and the concept of FD itself has also become an important theme in thinking about FD, such as educational IR, which collects and analyzes a wide range of information related to education and learning and uses it to improve education, and the three policies and quality assurance, and the concept of FD itself is expanding.
Therefore, in this symposium, I would like to pause for a moment and sort out what kind of results have been produced by the “FD” so far, what issues remain, and how to develop the “FD of the future” and what kind of university education we are trying to achieve. To this end, four sympositors will be invited to give lectures from a variety of angles, including national and policy perspectives, international perspectives, and on-the-ground perspectives. Through discussions among the participants, I would like them to think about FDs in the past and FDs in the future from a variety of angles.

What’s going on? What are you going to do? Evaluation of each lab
– Nursing Training, Welfare Training, Education Training, Qualification Training-

Capacity: 100 people (priority capacity: 60 people)

We will reconsider how universities should interpret and evaluate the evaluation of practical training in nursing, welfare, education, and (qualifications).

Assessments to capture higher-order abilities
~Thinking about what kind of evaluation is suitable for capturing what kind of ability, including creating tasks~

Capacity: 70 people (priority capacity: 40 people)

In recent years, along with the trend of active learning, there has been a lot of discussion about methods for assessing higher-order (integrative) abilities. However, although attention has been focused on evaluation criteria such as rubrics, discussions on the creation of tasks to visualize such capabilities and the examination of their merits and demerits are still in the process of development. Therefore, together with leading experts in educational evaluation in higher education research in Japan, we will discuss evaluation and task development to grasp higher-order abilities.

Effects of Fieldwork in Experiential and Practical Learning and Operational Issues

Capacity: 70 people (priority capacity: 40 people)

In recent years, an increasing number of universities have been implementing “experiential and hands-on learning,” which is a system that takes students out to local communities for education.

Therefore, in this subcommittee, we will introduce examples of universities that have achieved results through “experiential and practical learning” and consider with the participants how to proceed to change the level of understanding and awareness of students.

Business and Undergraduate Seminar Activities

Capacity: 30 people (priority capacity: 18 people)

In Japan, so-called liberal arts university students often find employment at companies upon graduation. For this reason, it is also necessary to provide opportunities for undergraduate education to provide an overview of business and to cultivate basic skills for working adults. There is a limit to what can be done in ordinary lecture subjects, and it is appropriate to conduct those related to the content of the seminar (seminar) through the seminar. In this subcommittee, we will introduce examples of actual seminar activities and consider their effects and possibilities.
