Student Support

Student Growth Programs

The University Consortium Kyoto supports students’ daily activities based on the principle of “creating their own initiative,” and hopes that the “interactions” and “experiences” with a wide variety of people that students experience through their independent activities will lead to new “awareness” and “learning” that will lead to their growth.
We are working to create a system that promotes the growth of students by promoting the following support methods, adopting the PDCA cycle method, which emphasizes the smooth execution of activities, the improvement of the business, and the continuous development of the business, with the goal of smoothly carrying out the activities, improving the business, and continuing the development of the business, by adopting the PDCA cycle method, which emphasizes the activities of students as a single project, working toward a single goal as a team, and producing results as a team.

Implementation Report

This year marks the 11th edition of the Kyoto Student Festival, and based on the concept of “interwoven connections and new challenges,” we took on unprecedented challenges with the aim of becoming a Kyoto Student Festival that will continue to grow further over the next 10 years, while cherishing the “connections” that have been built up so far.
This year, we established the “Annual Exchange Department” and have been putting more effort into year-round activities than ever before. We also conducted the Tohoku Project as part of our charity activities. In addition, we have taken the first step toward internationalization by launching the “Internationalization Promotion Project,” a long-term project that does not end in a single fiscal year.
As mentioned above, this year, we have been involved with many people in various activities throughout the year in addition to this festival, and by weaving these “connections” into this festival, we have developed our business with the aim of making it an even more attractive and long-lasting Kyoto Student Festival, and at the same time raising its profile.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who came to the venue and to all the parties involved who supported us in various ways in holding this festival.
