Business Overview

(Main visual: Work by Mr./Ms. Takano, a third-year student at Aichi Prefectural University of Arts)

The 20th Kyoto Student Festival was held in person on Sunday, October 9 for the first time in three years. On the day of the event, the event was shortened due to rain, but it was a great success with a large number of visitors and viewers. We believe that we were able to hold this festival safely thanks to the support and cooperation of everyone involved on a daily basis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The 20th Kyoto Student Festival Theme

About the theme

I feel grateful that I was able to build a long history of the Kyoto Student Festival, and I express my feelings in a new way. This does not mean a simple regression, but rather events that have taken place in the past, and past Kyo flame Sodetouch! We aim to take on new challenges based on the past, such as projects with OBOGs and companies that have sponsored and cooperated with us.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Kyoto Student Festival student organization for continuing until the 20th edition. The gratitude we feel “blooms” as a large flower, and we “scream” so that our feelings of gratitude can reach many people.

The 20th Kyoto Student Festival Annual Activities

The Executive Committee is building a cooperative relationship for the festival while expressing our gratitude on a daily basis by interacting with the Okazaki area, the venue of the Kyoto Student Festival, and the local people who have been connected with us through our activities so far.

Presentation and delivery class

This year, we had the opportunity to present many events, such as the closing ceremony of the Junior Chamber of Japan Kyoto Conference and KBS Kyoto’s events. In addition, we have given more than 10 visiting classes to elementary and junior high schools and support schools in Kyoto Prefecture.

Community Exchange

Continuing from last year, I participated as a student volunteer at a children’s cafeteria in the Okazaki area and participated in night patrols for the safety of the community. Compared to last year, we were able to expand the number of volunteer activities and the number of volunteer activities, deepening exchanges with local people, and providing an opportunity for many people in Kyoto to learn about the Kyoto Student Festival.

international exchange

We held an exchange meeting for international students, exchanged opinions on the culture and charms of their home countries, and danced “Kyo Flame Sodefure!”, an original creative dance of the Kyoto Student Festival, to deepen exchanges. In addition, we were able to provide opportunities to interact with people who have been evacuated from Ukraine, which led to an opportunity to think deeply about peace.

Environmental Activities

We actively engaged in cleanup activities, such as picking up trash on the riverbed of the Kamo River and cleaning up the Okazaki area, which will be used for this festival.
