Achievement debriefing session
《Debriefing Session》
On Sunday, March 19, Reiwa 5, we held a report on the activities of 12 organizations adopted in the 4th year of Reiwa (one group was absent) at Campus Plaza Kyoto. It was the first face-to-face event in four years, and about 55 people, including selected organizations and general auditors, participated.
In the 8-minute allotted time, each organization gave a presentation on the results of its activities this year with photos and videos, and while appealing to the cooperation and results of the local community, it was also a meaningful presentation with many opinions from other organizations that it was helpful.
Each organization responded sincerely to the various opinions and questions from the judges.
《Opinion Exchange Meeting》
Under the direction of the secretariat, we held an opinion exchange meeting and exchange meeting as a place for frank discussions. Each organization gave a three-minute presentation on what impressed them and what they had difficulties during the activity, followed by questions and an exchange of opinions.
It was a valuable opportunity to hear about the real activities of other organizations, and conversely, it was a place to receive advice from other organizations, so it was a fruitful time for the participants.
《Award Ceremony and Commentary》
Every year, we recognize the business organizations that have achieved the most excellent results and present 100,000 yen as an activity incentive. As a result of the judging, the Kyoto Student Theater Festival Executive Committee (Kyoto University, Ritsumeikan University, etc.), which set up a special outdoor stage at Yosho Children’s Park in Sakyo Ward and held the theater festival there, was selected as the best organization of the year.
Despite the fact that this is only the second time the festival has been held in the Yosho School District, the award was given in recognition of the fact that the festival has been accepted by the local community, and that the event is carried out with ingenuity, such as using the scenery of the park as a borrowed scenery.
