The purpose of this festival is to create a place for international exchange and mutual understanding among student filmmakers and filmmakers, as well as to discover and disseminate new talents who will support the film industry in the future from among the many possibilities of student filmmakers.

The results of the analysis related to the 27th “Citizen Life Realization Survey” have been announced!

　
We will publish the results of the analysis of the “Citizen’s Life Perception Survey” conducted as part of the “Future Kyoto Creation Research Project” jointly implemented by the University Consortium Kyoto and Kyoto City.
　
As part of the Kyoto City Policy Evaluation System, the “Survey on Citizens’ Perceptions of Citizens’ Lives” is conducted to grasp the extent to which the policies and measures listed in the city’s basic plan are being achieved. It can be used by those who are engaged in community development activities.
In light of the fact that this fiscal year marks the fifth year since the survey began, we are conducting an analysis from the perspective of trends over the past five years, including a special feature on how citizens’ lives have changed significantly over the past five years.

– What kind of life do citizens have in each policy area, and how important do they think it is?
・ How is the transition of the 5 years of Heisei 23 ~ 27 in the actual life of citizens?
– From the correlation between the level of experience in daily life and the importance of the policy, what is the public’s perception of the current policy and its effects?
・ What kind of policy areas will improve the sense of happiness when the sense of life improves?

Taking advantage of the “town area” on the first day and the interaction with local people, in the workshop on the second day, through work to draw the shape of Oe and to think about a date plan, “What would be nice to have in Oe, what is wonderful now?” We came up with ideas for town development.

The members of the community development council who participated in the workshop said, “I want to receive ideas and opinions that I have never thought of and make the most of them,” and “I want to hear the voices of high school students more and more.” I received the impression.

A high school student who experienced interaction with local people at this workshop said, “I was thinking that if I went to university, I wouldn’t come back to my hometown, but as I listened to today’s story and learned about the various merits, I realized that it is not easy to divide.” I was able to gain a regional and social perspective for future planning.

In addition, when I saw the university students involved as facilitators, I felt that my desire to go to university was strengthened. I was inspired.

The university students who participated in the event said, “If you take an interest in the area, the local people will do their best to return the favor. That’s what I learned.

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.

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”.

Report: The 16th Kansai Roundtable Meeting of Support Personnel for Students with Disabilities (KSSK)

The 16th Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable Meeting

On March 3, the Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK) was held at Campus Plaza Kyoto, with the aim of interacting with people in charge of disability support at universities in the Kansai region.
　
For the 16th time, we invited the person in charge of actually providing support from Wakayama University and Ryukoku University, which have developed support systems for students with disabilities over the past few years, to talk about the current situation and issues in the field. In addition, the subcommittees were divided into two groups each on the three themes of “Support Practices,” “Career Support,” and “Support Systems (Guidelines, etc.),” and exchanged opinions on how to support students with disabilities in small groups.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities that will come into effect in April 28, 70 people participated, exceeding the originally planned capacity of 60 people, including not only disability support staff, but also educational staff and career managers. While the participants received positive comments such as “It was good to hear about the specific development of the system because there were issues with support and maintenance” and “Since it was a subcommittee of the same size university, there were many common issues and it was very helpful,” while others expressed their awareness of future issues, such as “I want to know how to support practical training” and “How can I gain the understanding of faculty and staff?”

We will continue to plan and consider the meeting so that it functions as a place for various universities, departments, and personnel to exchange opinions and interact. The next meeting is scheduled to be held around September 2016. Once the content of the event has been decided, it will be announced on the website of the University Consortium Kyoto.

Providing topics about the university’s initiatives In the subcommittees, the people in charge share their worries with each other.

Ms. Takamiko Reizumi Mr. Toru Yagi

Kyoto’s cultural heritage is famous for its shrines and temples, such as Heian Jingu Shrine and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, but we must never forget that the common people living in Kyoto cherish the shrines and Mr./Ms. in each town. It is the Shunseisha that enshrines Fujiwara Toshinari. The Mr./Ms. of the Machikado gods and the Buddha Mr./Ms. are small and nameless, but they have a history of being protected by the townspeople for generations. Isn’t this the underlying strength of Kyoto’s culture?

【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.

Outline of Recruitment

Application Period

201510Mon. 26 – Mon. 30 November

Target

(1) Partners in the Kyoto area (Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture)
