Briefing Session on Employment Support Programs for International Students (Organizer: Study Kyoto Network for International Students)

The International Student Study Kyoto Network (Secretariat: University Consortium Kyoto) is a collaborative effort between organizations that provide employment support projects (Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City, Kyoto Job Park, Kyoto International Center, Kyoto City International Association, and University Consortium Kyoto) so that international students studying in Kyoto can smoothly conduct their job hunting. Since fiscal 2017, we have been holding “Employment Support Project Briefing Sessions for International Students” to introduce employment support services for international students to those in charge of employment support at universities and schools in Kyoto.
This year, we will hold the “Employment Support Project Briefing Session for International Students” as follows. In addition to introducing the 2018 program, we will also explain “problems related to visas after employment” as a topic and hold an opinion exchange meeting to share the issues of the person in charge, so we hope that it will be useful for gathering information on the international student support project and creating a network of people in charge.

Subsequently, the importance of supporting students with disabilities increased due to the enforcement of the law, and KSSK came to the attention of a good example of a regional network.

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.

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.
