Kyoto College Special Event “The Four Seasons and Festivals of Kyoto” was held!

15th Anniversary of the Kyoto Studies Course Special Project “The Four Seasons and Festivals of Kyoto”

On March 7, Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto held a special event, “The Four Seasons and Festivals of Kyoto,” at Campus Plaza Kyoto, ahead of the start of accepting applications for Miyako College, a lifelong learning program provided by Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto for working adults. The purpose of this event is to spread awareness of the “Kyoto Skills Training Course” established at Kyoto College in order to allow students to learn about Kyoto in depth from various perspectives. This event was planned to commemorate the 15th year of the “Kyoto Studies Course” of the University Consortium Kyoto, which provides courses for this course.

Packed hall

On the day of the event, in addition to a lecture by Professor Toru Yagi of Bukkyo University, who specializes in folklore, Mr./Ms. Hinakiku, a native of Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, who is active as a geiko in Gion East, appeared as a talk guest. The venue, which has a capacity of 280 people, was packed as soon as it opened, and about 400 participants listened to Professor Yagi and Mr./Ms. Hinagiku talk about the main venue in a hurry to show a video of the main venue at another venue.

Professor Yagi giving a lecture on the theme of Kyoto’s Four Seasons and Festivals

Professor Yagi, who serves as the chairman of the planning committee of the Kyoto Studies Course, gave a lecture on the atmosphere of festivals throughout the year in Kyoto. He explained that there are many water festivals in spring and summer and fire festivals in autumn and winter, and called on people to participate in the Kyoto Studies Course “Kyoto Festivals and Bustles” starting in April to learn about the changes in Kyoto’s festivals.

Dialogue between Professor Yagi and Mr./Ms. Hina Kiku

After the lecture, Mr./Ms. Hinagiku joined the stage and answered questions from Professor Yagi about episodes from her time as a maiko and her thoughts on her juniors. When asked about Kyoto’s festivals, he replied in Kyoto that he loved the relaxed Kyoto festivals, and the venue was in a friendly mood. They also danced and played flutes, adding color to the venue. Visitors seemed to be very well received, saying, “It was a very interesting project,” “It was a valuable experience to hear the stories of active geisha,” and “Professor Yagi’s talk was easy to understand.

“Girls’ Career Talk in Kyoto”

gist

In the future, it is expected that women in various situations will realize their own hopes and shine, and that “women’s power” will be fully demonstrated and Japan society will develop, but career education for male models is still centered on high schools and universities. At present, it is difficult to say that career education that focuses on career transitions specific to women, such as pregnancy and childbirth, is being conducted sufficiently.
Therefore, the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council held the “Girls Career Talk in Kyoto” with the aim of encouraging female students and female students to look at their own lives as women from a long-term perspective and use them for future career choices and career planning by listening to and interacting with female students and women who are actually active in society.

Implementation Report

In this project, which was held for the third time this year, we invited a career counselor as a lecturer for the first time, and gave a lecture on women’s work styles (full-time employees and non-full-time employees, job introductions, etc.) from the current situation surrounding women’s participation in society, and taught high school and university students the importance of imagining their own life plans and choosing their own way of life. After that, 10 working women from various occupations were divided into 5 groups of 2 each, and high school and university students joined their favorite groups and held group discussions with about 10 people each. First of all, we asked a member of society to lead the dialogue and talk about specific episodes such as the current job description, the atmosphere of the workplace, the career path that he had in mind when he was a high school student, and what kind of efforts he has made to realize his dreams. The university students in all groups actively asked questions and expressed their opinions to the members of society, and actively interacted with each other. In addition, it was impressive to see the high school students, who tended to be reserved at first, gradually relaxed in the second half of the project, and eagerly asked questions to working adults and university students and took notes of what they heard.

　　　　

　　　

Looking at the results of the questionnaire after the event, I received various advice from all the working Mr./Ms.people, such as “I learned that what I think is useless now can be beneficial to me later,” “I was taught that it is important to do everything in front of me now,” and “Even if I can’t find what I want to do yet, I was encouraged that I will find something I want to do in the future.” It was evident that each of them had new realizations and discoveries. In addition, there were many positive opinions about careers, such as “You should pursue what you want to do,” “There is always a good thing no matter what you choose,” and “Women have many strengths that are unique to women!”, and I think that they were able to dispel some of their anxiety about the future. In the future, I hope that high school and university students will choose the path they should take with a view to their future, take responsibility for that choice, and work hard to realize it.
