Outline of the event
theme
Development of inter-university and regional collaboration that takes advantage of regional characteristics
Purpose of the Tournament
Higher education has moved into a new phase with the promotion of the “Grand Design for Higher Education for 2040” and the development of education and measures for the post-corona era. In the future, higher education will be required to play a role in driving the growth and development of Japan.
Furthermore, in the context of regional revitalization and regional revitalization, there is a growing expectation that university consortiums and other organizations will contribute to their efforts from a wide range of perspectives, including co-creative activities with local communities and industry.
Under these circumstances, there is a growing momentum in Kyoto to promote collaboration between universities, local communities, and industry based on culture and the arts, triggered by the relocation of the Agency for Cultural Affairs in March 2023 (Reiwa 5) and the relocation of Kyoto City University of Arts to the eastern area of Kyoto Station in October of the same year.
In this forum, we will reconsider the role that the University Consortium should play as an inter-university collaborative organization, and exchange opinions on diverse and flexible learning initiatives that take advantage of each region and its attractiveness.

Utilizing the resources of the region to create higher education in a new era
~Exchange and Collaboration in Kyoto Based on Culture and Arts~ Mr. Oussouby Sako (Director, Information Center, Kyoto Seika University) Overview
It is said that with the rapid progress of globalization, it has become difficult to preserve culture and art that are considered to be “regional”. One of the reasons for this is that there are fewer opportunities to come into contact with culture and art. It can also be pointed out that the residents’ understanding of the culture and art rooted in the region has not been reflected. Therefore, I would like to focus on the utilization of local cultural and artistic resources for higher education, and the inheritance of tangible and intangible culture itself. By inheriting and repurposing this cultural representation, the region will deepen exchanges with people inside and outside the country, and cooperation will be enhanced. In this lecture, we will deepen our understanding of the mechanism by which culture is passed down by local residents, and the importance of culture being recognized and valued as a community heritage and developing in the field of higher education. |
| Keynote Speech (2) ⏰14:40-15:30 |
|
Future Cultural Policy and Inter-University and Inter-Regional Collaboration Based on Trends in Higher Education
Mr. Jugo Imaizumi (Deputy Director, Agency for Cultural Affairs) Overview
Population decline and depopulation not only weaken society, but are also important issues of life and death for both higher education, cultural heritage protection, and local communities. It is our responsibility to pass on the important heritage inherited from the past to the next generation, and to educate the next generation to pass it on to the next generation. At that time, the region has its own history and story, higher education has resources related to education and research, and culture has the means and potential to create new value through them. While the scope of what can be done on its own is limited, we will explore ways to revitalize communities through cooperation between higher education, cultural policy, and local communities. |

Subcommittee 2 (Consortium for Higher Education Miyazaki) The purpose of this subcommittee is to explore how the University Consortium should engage in collaboration between high schools and universities. To this end, we will ask them to report on their efforts to collaborate with high school students in inquiry-based learning in high school and to report on challenges that will further develop the skills acquired in high school at university, and get hints. After clarifying the issues that need to be addressed in order to enhance high school-university collaboration, we will consider what kind of high school-university collaboration will be required in the future when a university consortium can be formed. |

4th floor |
Subcommittee 3 (Non-profit organization University Consortium Osaka) The University Consortium contributes to the diversification of higher education by providing educational programs that take advantage of the characteristics of the region in collaboration with universities and other institutions, and in the “Credit Transfer through University Consortium Collaboration,” which is a further development of the conventional inter-university collaboration, we effectively utilize and share educational resources in each region and provide students with high-quality learning opportunities. |

Subcommittee 4 (Non-profit organization University Consortium Osaka) Student volunteering plays an important role in many ways, including connecting with the local community and promoting student growth.
