The 15th Kyoto Student Festival will be held on Sunday, August 27 at the Kyoto Student Festival 15th Anniversary Festa in Kyoto Station Building & Porta.

With the decision to fully relocate the Agency for Cultural Affairs to Kyoto, the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee hopes to revitalize Kyoto by encouraging the younger generation to learn about Kyoto’s culture in their daily activities, incorporating it into their plans with a student-like interpretation, and widely disseminating Kyoto’s student culture at events.

The Kyoto Station Building and the underground shopping mall Porta in front of Kyoto Station are visited not only by people living in Kyoto, but also by many people from other prefectures and even overseas. By disseminating the “charm of Kyoto culture” and “the charm of student culture” in such a place, we will promote the Kyoto Student Festival scheduled to be held on October 8.

We had expanded the number of applicants from the originally planned 150 to 200, but since the number of applications has reached the capacity, we have closed the application.

In this forum, Mr. Kiyogo Oki, who serves as the head of the Waseda University Entrance Examination Development Office and is also a member of the working group of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s High School-University Connection Reform, talked about the importance of self-improvement of university education through data and entrance examination policies.

We aim to be a place that contributes to the acceleration of reforms at universities in the Kyoto area and surrounding areas, and to the further spread and establishment of educational IR at universities in the future.

[Explanation of the work]

The torii gate of Heian Jingu Shrine expresses the uniqueness of Kyoto, and depicts not only young people but also grandmother Mr./Ms.s and children gathering together and having fun. People dancing Yosakoi, which is also the flower of the festival, also appear, and the costumes are arranged based on the costumes previously worn by Mr./Ms. of Kyoto Seika University. Overall, I was careful to convey that it is an event that can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages.

【Thank you for coming】Kyoto Student Festival 15th Anniversary Project Starts!　The first pre-event will be held on Sunday, June 4th in Ukyo Ward!

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.
