Autumn is the season of school festivals!

Autumn is the season of school festivals. At each university and junior college, the executive committee members are making elaborate plans for the school festival.

Of course, it is attractive that not only university students, but also high school students and the general public can visit.

【Thank you for the event】Report on the 14th Kyoto Student Festival ~ Kyoto Intercollegiate Festa 2016~

Thank you for holding the event

The 14th Kyoto Student Festival was successfully held on Sunday, October 9, thanks to everyone’s support and cooperation. We were worried about the weather on the day of the event, but perhaps because of the enthusiasm of the students on the executive committee, the rain stopped before 11:00 a.m., and the sun shone in the afternoon. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who came to the festival and to all those who have made efforts in various fields to hold this festival.

Event Report

The 14th Kyoto Student Festival was planned with the aim of providing as many students as possible with a place and opportunity to “fully demonstrate the potential of students,” which is the activity philosophy of the Kyoto Student Festival. In particular, this year’s festival aims to realize a “festival in which people can participate proactively” by inviting more students from various fields, including artistic fields such as fashion and art, who have not participated in the festival so far, to participate in the festival, and to contribute to the revitalization of the community by disseminating it as an attraction of Kyoto. By expanding the range of genres in this way, we planned the project with the goal of creating a unique student culture for the festival while increasing the number of collaborators, and eventually becoming the “Four Great Festivals of Kyoto” on a par with the three major festivals in Kyoto.

We had a retrospective meeting for Marutoku in Amino.

On Saturday, October 8th, we held a “review meeting” at Campus Plaza Kyoto.
The participants were 10 people, including university students who planned and ran the “Marutoku (Let’s make Amino, a city of the sea) a town that will definitely come back” held at Amino High School on Thursday, September 29 and Friday, September 30.
We looked back on the project in Amino and the preparations leading up to the day of the event, including images, and exchanged opinions on how to make the project even better after October.

Did you receive a message for high school students?

The message that the university team wanted to convey to the high school students through this project was “to convey flexible and broad-minded values.” Did you get this feeling across?
The following is an excerpt from a post-survey of high school students.
◆ I wanted to know more about various things.
◆ I was only thinking about staying in my hometown, but I wanted to do what I could for my hometown.
◆After getting a job in Tango, I wanted to do activities to let Mr./Ms. know about Tango.

Until the message arrives…

The university student team had several meetings in advance in the process of creating the concept, content, and time schedule for this project. Even so, we repeated detailed meetings until the last minute, and in order to make it better, we emphasized the sharing of “information” and “feelings” among all members of the team.

The results are presented from the remarks of university students at the retrospective meeting.
◆ “A high school student who wants to be a pastry chef said, “It’s good to be a pastry chef in Amino.”
◆ In the game with peaks and valleys in life, the good response of the high school students showed that they made time to think about connections, not just simulations.
◆ (Although it was group work), it was very meaningful to make time to see the works of other groups.
◆ I was happy to see that the local members of society who participated were impressed by the perspectives of the high school students.
◆ I was impressed by my high school teacher, who said, “I’m more excited than usual.”
◆ High school students gave presentations that were both voluntary and exciting.

Next up, Maruttoku in Suchi

At the retrospective meeting, a team of university students who planned and managed the “Maruttoku in Suchi (Highland is a Campus!: Let’s Find the Wonders of Su High School Students and Kyotamba)” tried out an icebreaker game. In addition, we deepened our awareness of the importance of sharing “information” and “feelings,” which were important points of the Amino project.

We are still looking for [members to participate on the day]! (A few)

The application for participation has closed on August 1st, but there are still a few vacancies for [Participants on the day]. Applications will be closed as soon as the capacity is filled, so hurry up!

Kyoto Student Festival Project Overview

Students from Kyoto, who transcend the boundaries of universities, form an executive committee and engage in daily activities with the aim of disseminating “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalizing the Kyoto area, and creating new attractions in collaboration with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university.
After a variety of community exchange activities throughout the year, such as the promotion of the original creative odori “Kyoen Sodefure!” and water sprinkling activities, a grand festival is held every October as the culmination of these activities.
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in the daily activities of the Student Executive Committee, and is providing support aimed at “student independence” that allows students to think and act on their own, and supports the implementation of what has been accumulated in the course of activities since the establishment of the Executive Committee so that it can be maximized at the main festival in October.

Report: The 17th Kansai Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK)

The 17th Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable Meeting

On September 15, the Kansai Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK) was held at Campus Plaza Kyoto, with the aim of providing a forum for people in charge of supporting students with disabilities at universities in the Kansai region to exchange opinions and interact with each other.
　
In this 17th session, under the theme of “Osaka University’s Support System and Support Practices: Current Situation and Challenges,” Project Associate Professor Naoto Mochizuki and Lecturer Satoko Nakano of the Osaka University Campus Life Support Center provided topics on their efforts and challenges. In the subcommittee that followed, the participants were divided into five groups under the three themes of “Support System,” “Introduction to Support Practice,” and “Support Practice,” and exchanged opinions on how to support students with disabilities based on various issues and case studies faced by each university.　

Perhaps due to the influence of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities that came into effect in April 28, 70 people, which exceeded the capacity of 65 people, wanted to participate, indicating a high level of interest in KSSK. In the participant questionnaire, there were comments such as, “The story of Osaka University was very interesting because it showed various realities,” “I found clues to improve the problems of my university’s system,” “I was able to listen more thoroughly to other universities because I had plenty of time for the subcommittee,” and “Supporting students with disabilities is a difficult issue with no answers, but it was good to know that everyone has the same problems.” It was also an opportunity for the participants to gain various insights.

　The feature of KSSK is that it is possible to have frank conversations at the level of the person in charge, regardless of the size of the university or whether or not there is a support system, and to form a network of universities and staff. The next meeting will be held in February~March 2017. Once the content of the event has been decided, it will be announced on the website of the University Consortium Kyoto.

In the subcommittees, we shared concerns about how to support
