Career Education” project has been launched.

Future Session for High School and University Collaboration

With the aim of promoting the career development of high school and university students, this program allows students to engage in dialogue and exchange on a set theme across generations and schools, including high school students, university students, and working adults.
From the 2020 academic year, an executive committee made up of high school and university students in Kyoto Prefecture will take the lead in planning and managing the event, and creating the program for the day.

Outline of the event

A future where children can live like children!
~Thinking from the Problem of Young Carers, the Future of Japan~

In recent years, with the declining birthrate and aging population and the increase in single-parent families, the existence of young carers has been attracting attention. They are still students, but their career paths are restricted and they are unable to concentrate on their studies. In addition, they are forced to bear the burden of caregiving, which can interfere with friendships and damage their own health.
In light of the current situation of young carers, this future session will be an opportunity for high school and university students to learn about the actual situation of young carers and think about what kind of support they need and what we can do about it.
Let’s take this opportunity to realize that young carers are not irrelevant to us, and that we may create such a condition ourselves in the future, and let’s think together about what we can do when we become a part of it.

Implementation Report

On Thursday, November 3rd, we held the 2022 High School and University Collaboration Future Session. Initially, the event was planned to be a hybrid of face-to-face and online, but it was changed to an in-person only format, and a total of 30 high school and university students (11 of whom were members of the executive committee) gathered at the venue.
Continuing from last year, the executive committee consisting of high school and university students from Kyoto Prefecture, who were in charge of planning and operation, moderated the event, gave opening and closing remarks, explained the purpose of the event, and also served as facilitators during group work.
This time, three guests from the secretariat of the specified non-profit organization Fusen-no-kai gave lectures on the theme of “A future where children can live like children!~Thinking about the future of Japan from the perspective of the young carer problem~”, and participated in icebreakers and group work with the participants and executive committee members.
The icebreaker by a mixed group of high school and university students was able to relieve tension among the participants, and in the group work that followed, the newly established research question “What can we do now and in the future to create a society where young carers can choose various options without giving up on their dreams through nursing care?” While incorporating the World Café, we were able to have a lively exchange of opinions and dialogue in a friendly atmosphere from beginning to end.
The participating high school and university students were able to deepen their understanding of young carers and what they can do in the future, and were able to interact with students from other schools, students from other universities, and guests that they would not normally meet, making it a meaningful time with a lot of awareness and learning.
For the executive committee members, this experience gained by working on the preparation and operation of the day from the planning stage was a fulfilling opportunity that led to great personal growth.
