Heisei 30 Gakumachi Collaboration Project Gakumachi NEWS!

Introducing the efforts of the Heisei 30 learning town collaboration project.

In order to create attractive communities and solve local issues, universities and students are invited to work on projects in collaboration with the local community, and subsidies are provided for excellent initiatives. We would like to inform you about this year's initiatives.

【Activities】Ryukoku University Fukakusa Machiya Cinema (Fushimi / Fukakusa Community Archive Project)

"Fukakusa Machiya Cinema" by Matsuura Seminar of the Faculty of Policy Studies, Ryukoku University, is an organization that mainly collects and archives 8mm film in order to preserve for future generations the videos and photos of the Showa period of Fushimi Ward, which is lying dormant in the area, and to provide opportunities for elderly people living alone who tend to be isolated to go out. We visited the venues, Fukakusa Elementary School and Ryukoku University.

At Fukakusa Elementary School, the Fukakusa Social Welfare Council held a "Fureai Salon" for the purpose of interaction between the elderly in the community. Under the theme of "Fushimi and the streetcar," photos from the Showa era and photos from the same place today were projected on a screen, and memories of that time were shared while comparing.
The student who moderated the event asked "How much was the fare back then?" and "What was your childhood play?" The participants replied to these questions while talking nostalgically with the people around them.

At the "2nd Machiya Cinema" held at Ryukoku University, footage of the time when streetcars were running was shown, and Mr. Shizuji Fukuda, who has been shooting streetcars in Kyoto, explained about it. In addition, a participant who used the streetcar at that time talked about the memory of sound, such as "I used the sound of the first streetcar as a clock," and when private cars were not so popular among citizens, streetcars were inexpensive and could ride far distances at a flat fare, which was a valuable means of transportation for citizens, but "Before the closure of the railway, there were many accidents with trucks and buses due to the increased traffic volume of cars." I was also able to learn about the problems that have arisen with the changing times.

The activities of the group, which is celebrating its fifth full year this year, seem to be warmly welcomed by the local people, saying, "It's fun to see the faces of young people." The students expressed their aspirations to develop the activity from "learning about the past" to "passing on Showa culture" to children living in the area in the future.

 

【Activities】Kyoto Seika University Keihoku Utsuho Search Association

In the Uzu area, Keihoku-cho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, we have received an activity report from members of the "Keihoku Utsu Treasure Search Association", which aims to rediscover and revitalize the charm of the region through searching for local treasures (nature, people, technology, tradition, history, etc.).

【Activities】 Halloween in Saiin Lantern Making Workshop

The "Halloween in Saiin Executive Committee" of Kyoto University of Foreign Studies visited the venue of the lantern-making workshop because it is possible to interact with local residents and provide children with fun and peace of mind through the "Halloween Parade in Saiin" to be held on Sunday, October 28, as well as children's hall workshops and lantern-making workshops.
At 13:00, the start of the event, the Kyoto Family 3rd floor "Kyo Famigarden" was crowded with many participants, mainly children. Choose your favorite pumpkin and hollow out the inside… Parents and students from the executive committee helped out in the difficult parts, and the lanterns with rich individuality were completed. Not only could you take home the lanterns you made, but there were also gifts of candles. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the lights will be lit.

Easy-to-understand instructions and tools are prepared even for those who are trying to make lanterns for the first time, and they seem to be very accustomed to it, such as helping participants as soon as they see participants with troubled expressions. When I talked to the students of the executive committee, they said that they had been active even before they applied for the Gakumachi Collaboration Project. Now, when he meets local people near the university, they tell him that he is a Halloween child.

Since many of the students who are currently active are third-year students, the handover to the second- and first-year students is an issue. We hope that it will become established among the local community as a Halloween event of Saiin. Also, last year, the parade was canceled due to an approaching typhoon, so I pray for the success of "Halloween Parade in West Temple"!

【Activities】Ryukoku University-Higashitakasegawa Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team

The "Fushimi Fukakusa-Higashitakasegawa Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team," a project team of Ryukoku University Junior College, plans and manages river cleanup activities and the "Jizo Basin Program" in cooperation with the local community and involving high school students in order to pass on local traditional events to the next generation and to improve the environment of the Higashitakase River, which will be the venue. We have received an activity report, so we would like to introduce it.

◎Promotion of exchange of traditional events progresses to workshop on "disaster prevention map"

The continuation of the traditional event deepened the bonds between the residents and the Kawakubo Town Residents' Association, which gained momentum to create a "disaster prevention map." Therefore, on October 2, the residents' association conducted fieldwork in the town with students from Ryukoku University and Kyoto Kogakuin High School.

On this day, the locations of the "fire extinguisher" and "fire hydrant" installed by the residents' association were plotted on a map to reconfirm the temporary meeting place in the event of an emergency evacuation. Information on elderly homes is provided on the map by the residents' association. The first workshop was held in a fulfilling atmosphere, with university students providing support based on their knowledge of social welfare, and high school students sharing ideas from hardware aspects such as building and road conditions based on their engineering expertise.

【Activities】Kamo Cinema Executive Committee

On Saturday, August 18th, we went to Kamo River Cleaning and Outdoor Film Screening at "Kamo Cinema 14"!
It was 16 years ago that Ritsumeikan University students who were interested in the conservation of the Kamo River, which plays a major role in creating a landscape unique to Kyoto, established the Kamo Cinema Executive Committee. For 14 years since its inception, as part of its efforts to raise awareness of beautification among young people, it has held Kamogawa cleanup activities, projects that students are interested in, and outdoor movie screenings after sunset every summer.

"Kamo Cinema 14" started with the Kamogawa Riverside Clean Hike, which was renamed "Picakamo". From this year, a new project called "Kamogawa de Asobo" has been added, and you can enjoy the Kamo River in a leisurely and bright time while playing a game using water.

The expression of Kamo River, which changes from daylight to sunset, is also an attraction of "Kamo Cinema". The screen dimly projected in the dark was fantastic. When the sun went down, customers brought leisure sheets one after another.
This year's screening is "Seto Utsumi." "Seto" and "Utsumi" are simple movies about two high school students talking by the river. However, in the conversation, the worries, thoughts, and love affairs unique to high school students are realistically depicted. In the sense that you can say your true feelings where water flows, the screening at Kamogawa is perfect. Under the starry sky with a pleasant breeze, I was able to spend a luxurious time sitting on the riverbed and watching a movie only once a year.

The Kamo Cinema Executive Committee not only holds outdoor film screenings, but also participates in events and cleanup activities organized by the cooperative organization Kamo River Beautification Association, deepening exchanges with local residents. They have also been able to establish cooperative relationships with companies. Please continue your activities so that those who participate can enjoy themselves and raise awareness of the beautification and conservation of the Kamo River!

 

【Activities】Kyoto Tachibana University Society of Contemporary Business Urban Development Study Group

On Saturday, August 18, we visited the "Kiyomizu-yaki Painting Experience Workshop" as part of the activities of the "Daigo Nakayama Danchi Revitalization Project" by the Kyoto Tachibana University Society of Contemporary Business Urban Development Study Group!

In this project, volunteers from the Faculty of Contemporary Business at Kyoto Tachibana University have been engaged in various activities since last year, mainly at the "Daigo Nakayama Danchi Ceramic Lantern" with the neighborhood federation and other local people in order to promote regional exchange in the Daigo Nakayama Danchi.

The "Ceramic Lantern Road" implemented in the Yamashina area has a history of more than 10 years, but the cityscape illuminated by pottery lights is beautiful and has been very popular. The idea of implementing this "Ceramic Lantern" in the Daigo Nakayama Complex led to the start of the initiative last year.

The "Kiyomizu-yaki Painting Experience Workshop" is positioned as a pre-event of the "Ceramic Lantern Road" named after pottery, and the elderly and children in the community happily created accessories with their own designs. After the workshop, various projects were held until the evening, such as soap bubble play in the park and authentic somen noodles made by cutting bamboo from the back mountain with the cooperation of the Kyoto University of Education Takeyukai.

On November 3rd, the "Ceramic Lantern Road" at the Daigo Nakayama Complex is scheduled. Last year, the scope of the event was reduced due to bad weather, but this year we are blessed with good weather and we hope that the project will be a success!

 

【Activities】Ryukoku University-Higashitakasegawa Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team

We would like to introduce the activity report from the "Ryukoku University-Higashitakasegawa Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team", which continues its activities in the area around Higashitakasegawa, Fushimi Ward.

We are steadily preparing for this year's Jizo Bon Saturday, August 18th!　Click here for the report

【Activities】Ryukoku University Yodo Honmachi Shopping Street Fureai Library Project

On Sunday, August 5, we visited the library opening of Ryukoku University's Yodo Honmachi Shopping Street Fureai Library Project.

In this project, students of the Inoue seminar of the Faculty of Policy Studies, Ryukoku University, have been conducting on-site surveys since FY29 with the aim of revitalizing shopping streets that are losing their vitality due to a decrease in customer attraction and diluting local communities. Perhaps because bookstores in the shopping district were closed, we learned that there was a high need for libraries in the Yodo area, and we have been preparing for the opening of libraries at vacant stores in the shopping street.

It was a grand opening with a performance by the brass band club of the local Oyodo Junior High School. In addition to displaying books donated by students and local residents, the library also has a bookmark-making corner and a café space, which can be used as a place for interaction among local people. On this day, people from the local area who were provided with books also stopped by and looked inside with great interest and conversed with the students.

Since this is their first attempt, students visit the nearest children's hall or elementary school, distribute leaflets, and conduct public relations activities through trial and error.
In the future, in addition to the monthly library, they are planning to develop joint products with people in the shopping district and publish free papers. I hope that you will steadily move forward step by step so that the charms of the Yodo area can be conveyed to people inside and outside the region!

 

【Activities】Bukkyo University Waku Waku Laboratory

On Thursday, August 2, we visited the "Children's Science Class" by the "Waku Waku Laboratory" active in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City.

The "Waku Waku Laboratory" is run by seminar students led by Associate Professor Toyosei Hirata of the Faculty of Education, Bukkyo University. Once a month, we hold a science experiment class for elementary school students in the vicinity of Kitano Shopping Street with the aim of revitalizing the community, supporting children's learning, creating a place to belong, and intergenerational exchange.

This time, it was held as part of the summer vacation Terakoya event at Zest Oike, leaving the usual Kitano area. The theme is "Let's explore fossils with Zest Ammonite".

The marble used in the passage of Zest Oike is filled with fossils of 150,000-year-old ammonites, belemnites (bone-like tissues at the end of the heads of bandits), and other single-celled organisms. The children were guided by the students and were enthusiastically exploring the fossils on the ground.

After searching for fossils, we made fossil replicas. It is made by pouring resin into a plastic mold of your favorite fossil. Many of the seminar students aspire to become teachers, and they have gained experience in teaching practice, so they skillfully attracted the interest of the children while guiding them.

In addition, there are many spots in Kyoto City where similar fossils can be seen (Kyoto Station underground shopping mall Porta, The Museum of Kyoto, Kyoto Central Post Office, Sanjusangendo Hall, etc.). Please look for it when you go out. Places that you usually pass casually will turn into something interesting. I believe that the children were able to deepen their interest in science from a familiar place.

The Children's Science Class will continue to be held every month at Ninwa Kaikan in Kamigyo Ward.

This year marks the 15th Soratane Festival. Under the theme of "Smiling Seeds of Smile Shin-Omiya," it was held at Shin-Omiya Shopping Street. Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the event, and although the number of visitors was smaller than usual, the content was upgraded from last year by preparing delicious food, wonderful music, and fun workshops through various projects such as workshops and stalls.

The "Soratane Project" will continue to plan various events to create a space where everyone can smile and to form exchanges and communities that transcend generations.

【Activities】Fushimi Fukakusa-Higashitakase River Environmental Protection and Jizo Basin Project

We would like to introduce the efforts of the "Ryukoku University-Higashitakasegawa Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team" adopted this year.
In Fushimi Ward, the Ryukoku University-Higashi-Takase River Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team is working with local organizations, neighborhood associations and neighborhood associations, and students of Fushimi Technical High School to think about environmental protection through cleanup activities on the Higashi-Takase River, and to plan and implement the Jizo Basin, in which everyone from children to the elderly can actively participate.
We have received an activity report on the Jizo Basin held this year, so please take a look.

"This year's bamboo lanterns are handmade by students, high school students, and local residents [Friday, July 14]"

The last year students of Kyoto Municipal Fushimi Technical High School, who have been working on environmental problems in the Higashi-Takase River for a long time, as well as TUFS students, and local people gathered to make bamboo lanterns by hand for this year's Jizo Basin. With lessons from local executives, high school and university students worked together to make 40 pieces in one and a half hours.

Bamboo lanterns are lit in collaboration with high school students, university students, and local residents, and the results of joint work are lit on the Higashi-Takase River on the night of the Jizo Basin. Now, the Jizo Basin in Kawakubo Town is the "bamboo lantern" of the Higashi-Takase River, and it seems that it has completely taken root.

 

"Jizo Bon in Kawakubo Town【August 19 (Sat)】

This year's bamboo lanterns are handmade in collaboration with students, high school students, and local residents. When I combined the scraps and drew the words "Kawakubo Town", the local people were delighted with this surprise.

 

The popular events were the evening fireworks, the flooping punch with watermelons hollowed out, and of course, the bamboo lanterns on the Higashi-Takase River, which are now the main event of the Kawakubo Town Jizo Basin and were enjoyed by many people.

 


When the children's favorite anime song plays, everyone starts singing. Mr. Tozaki gave a big round of applause from everyone. We felt a sense of accomplishment that brought the venue together through our project.

【Report】 Shikasu "About the implementation of art workshops"

On Thursday, November 24, we observed the efforts of the "Mirai Art Seika Project" of Shikasu, an organization that is active mainly in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City.

Shikasu is an organization of Kyoto Seika University students who are engaged in activities aimed at expanding opportunities for local children and the elderly to experience art, focusing on holding art workshops at children's halls and day service centers in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City.

This time, an art workshop was held at the Kyoto City Harano Children's Center to design an original bag using acrylic paints and stone.

The children who leave school take turns receiving an explanation of how to make it. First, put red, white, blue, and yellow acrylic paints on the palette and create your favorite color. Next, you will color the stones of various sizes that you brought with you, and stamp them with colored stones on a white cloth bag. After that, let it dry for about 30 minutes and it's ready.
During the work, the students listened to the children's voices, such as "I want to make this color" and "I want to use a stone shape like this," and worked on it while paying attention to each individual.
You can learn the characteristics of art materials that you don't usually use, how to make and paint colors, and make original things, so it seems to be very popular not only with children but also with facility staff.

Each time this art workshop is held with the staff of each facility in advance and after the fact, it is held according to the situation and needs of the users.

We hope that art workshops will continue to deepen exchanges and collaborations between universities and students and the local community.

On Saturday, August 27, the Ocha-noko-kai and local organizations collaborated to go to the "Shirakawa Minna no Jizo Basin" held in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City.

This year's Jizo Basin was designed to provide an opportunity for local residents to participate in the event, such as holding workshops with local children from the preparatory stage to make Jizo to display at the venue with the aim of implementing a Jizo Basin that transcends the boundaries of the region (town) by utilizing the environment of the Shirakawa River, such as along the road and on the water.

On the day of the Jizo Basin, there were various old games, a snack corner such as shaved ice, a corner where you can experience the tea ceremony, etc., and the venue was crowded with many children and adults, and it was a great success for everyone to enjoy.

【Report】Ritsumeikan University Camo Cinema Executive Committee "Kamo Cinema"

On Saturday, August 20, I went to the outdoor movie screening "Kamo Cinema 12" planned and operated by the Ritsumeikan University Kamo Cinema Executive Committee.

Kamo Cinema is an outdoor screening event held on the riverbed of the Kamogawa River in Kyoto, which is now in its 12th year as an event that "connects" people with people, people and movies, and people with the Kamo River. In addition to holding outdoor screenings, they also participate in cleanup activities with the goal of "bringing Kamogawa cleanup activities closer to more people and having more people participate."

【Activities】Fushimi Fukakusa-Higashitakase River Environmental Protection and Jizo Basin Project

We would like to introduce the activity report of the Jizo Basin held in Fukakusagawa Kubocho on August 20 (Sat) and 21 (Sun) from the "Ryukoku University-Higashitakasegawa Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team", which continues its activities in the area around Higashitakasegawa, Fushimi Ward.

"A quiz rally around the town" planned by students connected the elderly and children.

I was worried that last year's Jizo Bon did not have many elderly people participating. Therefore, we have realized the revitalization of the community through multi-generational participation through the "Quiz Rally around the Town".

Thinking about who is important to have a sense of crisis on a regular basis due to disasters and to check the location of fire extinguishers in the town as a disaster prevention measure, we proposed exploring the town with a quiz rally, using the location of fire extinguishers in this town as a point.

The children search for the homes of elderly people in the neighborhood from the letters placed in the red fire extinguisher containment box. The children challenge the "theme" prepared by the house. Children and students go to the homes of elderly people who are hesitant to say "The Jizo Bon venue is far away…", challenge the "theme", and if it goes well, a reward is given.

First, introduce yourself and get to know each other. That way, you can greet them when you meet them on the street from now on. When children can greet each other, the number of "strangers (suspicious people)" decreases, and adults also change "children in our town" from "children in our town". In other words, if face-to-face relationships are created, selfish thinking and attitudes will decrease.

As a result of this "Quiz Rally Around the Town", there was a response from the elderly. "I was very happy to see so many children and students at the entrance," "I was energized by the students and children," "I'm not an executive, but please help with the event," and "Even if I didn't go to the Jizo Bon venue, I was excited to wait for this year."

I realized that it is important to have fun at town events, but it is also important to create face-to-face relationships. I am very grateful to the people of Kawakubo Town who entrusted the planning and management to us students and happily accepted us.

If this kind of involvement spreads, community development will become more enjoyable, and as a result, it will lead to the revitalization of the local community. Through this activity, we, the students, were able to learn about local activities practically with a sense of accomplishment. In the future, when I live with my family, I hope to practice this kind of activity somewhere.

【Activities】Shirakawa Minna no Jizo Bon

We would like to introduce the initiatives received from the "Ochanoko Association" adopted this year.

The Ochanoko-kai is a group of student volunteers attending universities in Kyoto who collaborate with local organizations and other groups to consider the possibility of community development through the tea ceremony.
In this project, based on the actual situation in the region where the Jizo Basin, which is an "intangible cultural heritage connecting Kyoto," is declining, we will aim to establish a modern Jizo Basin that inherits the functions and culture of regional exchange. To that end, we aim to utilize the environment along the Shirakawa River and on the water to implement a Jizo Basin that transcends the boundaries of regions (towns).

On Saturday, August 27, we plan to hold a Jizo Bon festival along the Shirakawa River that everyone can easily participate in, and there will be a program that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, such as workshops where you can experience the tea ceremony.
Why don't you look at the Shirakawa River and join everyone's Jizo Bon while relaxing and cooling off in the evening?

　Kyoto City is a "university town and student city" where 38 universities and junior colleges are concentrated, and 145,000 students, which is about 10% of the population, study. In order to utilize the "accumulation of university education and research results" and "student vitality," which can be said to be the assets of Kyoto, to solve local issues and revitalize local issues, and to create opportunities for students to learn and grow through involvement with the local community, we have implemented the "Gakumachi Collaboration Project" to support the efforts of seminar units and student groups.
