【Finished】Kyoto Student Festival 2016 Regional Revitalization Project Call for Affiliated Organizations

Business Overview

Students from Kyoto, who transcend the boundaries of universities, form an executive committee and engage in daily activities with the aim of disseminating “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalizing the Kyoto area, and creating new attractions in collaboration with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university.
After a variety of community exchange activities throughout the year, such as activities to disseminate the original creative odori “Kyoen Sodefure!” and regional cooperation events, a grand festival is held every October as the culmination of these activities.
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in the daily activities of the Student Executive Committee, and supports “student independence” so that students can think and act on their own, and supports the students to make the most of what they have accumulated in the course of their activities for one year since the establishment of the Executive Committee in November every year.

FY2016 Regional Revitalization Project

↑ Click to download the flyer ↑

The Kyoto Student Festival has a strong image of a festival centered on odori held in the Okazaki area every October, but in addition to this, we also carry out various activities on a daily basis, such as regional exchange and international exchange, with the aim of “disseminating the charm of Kyoto” and “revitalizing the region.” However, in order to further realize activities in line with these objectives, it is necessary to have a partner who can work hand in hand, not just the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee.
Therefore, we will recruit organizations (partners) that want to “enliven the community together with students” and “want to further convey the appeal of the community with the perspectives and power of students” and promote collaborative projects in a single year. However, the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee is also limited in terms of budget, time, and capacity, and it is expected that the number of organizations that will be rejected or adopted may be infinitely small. Despite this situation, we are looking forward to seeing organizations that can feel the significance of the “Student City Kyoto” created through the collaboration of industry, academia, and the public community, and apply to realize their goals.

【Application Closed】Call for Researchers for the 2016 University Consortium Kyoto Designated Research Project

　
The University Consortium Kyoto (hereinafter referred to as the “Foundation”) has established designated research topics and conducts research by researchers in specialized fields with the aim of contributing to the improvement and review of projects, as well as new development and sophistication. This time, we are looking for researchers (research groups) who will work on the 2016 designated research project as follows.

Foundation-designated research project

We are looking for researchers to work on the following designated research projects. We look forward to receiving applications from more researchers. For details, please check the application guidelines below.

“Research on the Role of the University Consortium Kyoto, a University Collaborative Organization for University Support for Students with Disabilities“

Background on the theme

With the reasonable accommodation provisions of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities scheduled to come into effect in April 2016, the prohibition of discriminatory treatment of persons with disabilities and the prohibition of non-provision of reasonable accommodations will be mandatory at national universities and efforts at private universities.

However, there are many issues, such as the fact that each student’s disability is different, the needs associated with it are diverse, the need for support at the time of enrollment, during school (study and student life), and job hunting, and the need for support across departments within the university.

Currently, each university is accumulating knowledge and examples of reasonable accommodations that should be provided to each university, but there is a limit to the efforts of individual universities alone to respond to a wide variety of disabilities and a wide range of needs, and it is considered necessary to cooperate with the relevant departments of each school and to have a mechanism for sharing information.

Therefore, this time, we will conduct a fact-finding survey of the efforts of the Foundation’s member schools and advanced cases in other countries and regions, identify issues and understand their needs, and use them as clues to consider the role and direction that the Foundation should play in supporting students with disabilities.

Outline of the research sought

(1) Survey on the actual situation of support for students with disabilities at Foundation member schools.
・Examples of initiatives
・Implementation system
・Issues, etc.
(2) Collection of case studies of advanced universities and inter-university collaboration organizations in other countries and regions.
(3) Based on the above, propose specific initiatives that the Foundation, which is an inter-university collaborative organization, should implement in support for students with disabilities.

Image of utilization of research results

(1) Establish a collaborative organization that connects university departments that provide support for students with disabilities, external support organizations, companies, and governments.
(2) Development of seminars and training programs for the Foundation’s member members (schools, governments, and economic organizations).
(3) Utilization for dealing with students with disabilities in Foundation projects involving students.

Eligibility

Assume that you meet the following requirements:

・Surveys and research by individuals or groups will be conducted.

・The researcher (in the case of a group, the principal investigator) must be a full-time faculty member of a university or junior college affiliated with the Foundation.

・Researchers or members of the group shall have a high level of expertise in the content of the designated research topic.

・After adoption, a contract research contract will be concluded between the researcher’s university or junior college and the foundation, and the department in charge of the research and research expenses will be managed by the department in charge of the researcher (in the case of a group). When applying, please coordinate with the department in charge of your university in advance.

About the results of the implementation of “Maruttoku in Ayabe”

gist

High school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture have fewer opportunities to learn about universities and interact with current university students than high school students in urban areas because there are no universities located nearby.
In addition, there are few opportunities to experience local history and culture and talk at length with people who work in the local area, and many young people graduate from high school without having an image of working and living in their hometown as adults, move to urban areas after graduating from high school, and start their careers as members of society in other areas after graduating from university.

Therefore, with the aim of developing the careers of high school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture and fostering human resources who will support the community, the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council held a workshop “Maruttoku in Ayabe” in Ayabe City, this time in Ayabe City, following on from Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City.

Outline of Implementation

schedule		Friday, March 13, 2015 and Saturday, March 14, 2015
place		Satoyama Exchange and Training Center (Ayabe City)

cooperation		Kyoto Prefecture Northern Regional and University Cooperation Organization Non-profit organization Satoyama Net Ayabe
participant	High School Students	16 students (15 students from Kyoto Prefectural Ayabe High School, 1 student from Kyoto Prefectural Fukuchiyama High School)
	university student	15 (Ryukoku University, Kyoto Seika University, Doshisha Women’s University, Kyoto Women’s University, Ritsumeikan University, Kobe University, Kansai University, University)
	working adult	13 (residents of the former Toyosato Nishi Elementary School District, etc.)

Implementation Report

Once again, the university students were able to deepen their understanding of local history and culture through a tour of the Gunze Museum, a walk around the Shigago area, and a lecture by the director of the Ayabe Special Products Museum, before the actual performance of the next day.
The high school students seemed a little nervous in the morning, but gradually relaxed as they made pizza with the university students, and in the afternoon they participated in the dialogue with the university students and working adults with relaxed expressions. In addition, I was impressed by the enthusiasm of university students and working adults about their life stories so far, and the way they wrestled and actively asked questions. The participants were not only people who have lived in the local area for a long time, but also people who have made I-turns and U-turns, and they spoke frankly about what they feel on a daily basis, such as the charms and challenges of Ayabe and expectations for young people, which was a good stimulus for university and high school students.

　　

　　

Through this workshop, the high school students were able to reaffirm their dreams and goals, gain the courage to move toward their realization, and reaffirm the charm of Ayabe, while the university students developed their facilitation skills by leading the dialogue and gained new insights by looking back on their lives so far. Local residents also commented, “It was good to be able to talk with young people, and I would like to participate again.” It became a meaningful initiative for high school students, university students, and local residents.

We would like to brush up on the results of this fiscal year and continue to implement this project next year.

About the Kyoto University “Learning” Forum 2015

Kyoto Student Festival 12/6 (Sun) “Kyo Flame Sodefure! Please come ≪ us≫

To express our gratitude, we will hold the “Kyo Flame Sodefure Festival”!

The 13th Kyoto Student Festival (Main Festival) held on Sunday, October 11 was a great success, with a total of 144,000 people attending. This year’s festival, which is based on the themes of “Kyoto” and “International,” is the culmination of various exchange activities throughout the year, and we have planned a variety of genres such as dance, food, music, and sports. In addition, due to the redevelopment work of Okazaki Park this year, the main stage with the newly reborn Jingu-do in the background of Otenmon was very popular with visitors, and the attractive performances by the students, centered on the powerful stage overlooking the entire venue, created a sense of unity throughout the venue.
We would like to express our gratitude once again to everyone who came to the event and who have been supporting this activity in various fields on a daily basis.
Therefore, to express our gratitude to all of you, we will hold the “Kyoen Sodefure Festival“. There are odori, delicious food, and many children’s projects, making it a place for interaction between Mr./Ms. and generations. Please invite your family and friends to join us. We look forward to seeing you there.

What is the Kyoto Student Festival?

Students in Kyoto, who transcend the boundaries of universities, collaborate with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university to disseminate “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalize the Kyoto area, and create new attractions.
After a variety of community exchange activities throughout the year, such as the promotion of the original creative odori “Kyoen Sodefure!” and water sprinkling activities, a grand festival is held every October as the culmination of these activities.
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in the daily activities of the Student Executive Committee, and is providing support aimed at “student independence” that allows students to think and act on their own, and supports the activities that have been accumulated since the establishment of the Executive Committee so that they can make the most of what they have accumulated in the course of their activities so far at the main festival in October.
