“See you tomorrow” /Toshihiro Mune/Musashino Art University/Japan
	The sun never sets. In the city, the procession of demonstrators continues to complain constantly. Natural disasters are also powerless in the face of people’s ability to adapt.

	People born and raised in Okinawa refer to “Japan outside of Okinawa” as “inland, Yamato, and mainland” and the people who live there as “Naicha, Yamatunchu, and people from the mainland.” This documentary explores the mental line between “Okinawa” and “Yamato” that can be seen from such a single name. Born in Okinawa but living in the interior, Higa’s camera moves back and forth between “the individual and society,” “the parties and the non-parties,” and the “opposing ideologies” with “fiction and reality,” and the “line” is brought to light.

Results of the Northern Kyoto Prefecture Career Education Project “Maruttoku in Kumihama”

gist

High school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture have fewer opportunities to learn about universities and interact with current university students than high school students in urban areas because there are no universities located nearby.
In addition, there are few opportunities to experience local history and culture and talk at length with people who work in the local area, and many young people graduate from high school without having an image of working and living in their hometown as adults, move to urban areas after graduating from high school, and start their careers as members of society in other areas after graduating from university.

Therefore, the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council held a workshop “Maruttoku in Kumihama” by high school students, university students, and local residents in Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City, with the aim of developing the careers of high school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture and fostering human resources who will support the community.

Outline of Implementation

schedule		Saturday, September 20, 2014 11:00~16:00
place		Gosho Inaba Honke, Nyoiji Temple (Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City)
sponsorship		Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council (Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education, Kyoto City Board of Education, Kyoto Prefectural Federation of Private Junior and Senior High Schools, Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and Industry, University Consortium Kyoto)
cooperation		Kyoto Prefecture Northern Regional and University Cooperation Organization
participant	High School Students	25 (1st and 2nd year students at Kyoto Prefectural Kumihama High School)
	university student	19 (Kyoto Seika University, Doshisha University, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto Bunkyo University, Ryukoku University, Kobe University, Waseda Graduate School, etc.)
	working adult	8 people (NPO Exciting Kumihama Creation Association, Kyotango City Kumihama Citizen’s Bureau)

Implementation Report

The university students entered Kumihama the day before to inspect the site and rehearsed carefully until late at night, and on the day of the event, the rain from the previous day had stopped and the weather was clear, and we were able to welcome the performance in a refreshing and sunny atmosphere.
The high school students gradually became more relaxed and relaxed as they walked around the city and did group work with university students and local residents. At first, some of the students were too shy to speak well, but at the end, they were willing to speak up about their dreams and career paths. During the dialogue time, I was very impressed by the friendly advice between university students and local people about the concerns of high school students.

　　　　

Through this workshop, the high school students had the opportunity to reflect on themselves and think deeply about their own way of life, as well as to reaffirm the good points of Kumihama, and the university students were able to gain new insights about themselves by reflecting on their careers and communicating them with others. We also received comments from local residents, such as, “Conveying the charm of the region to young people, listening to their thoughts on the region and their thoughts on the future, and gaining new awareness and discoveries about the local area,” making it a meaningful initiative for high school students, university students, and local residents.

In addition, this project was blessed with a good location, not to mention the wealthy merchant Inaba Honke, the building and garden were wonderful, and the view of the sea from Nyoiji Temple near Kumihama Bay was the best. I believe that one of the factors for our success was that we were able to work in a calm space such as a Japanese-style room, and that we were able to interact in nature, such as the blue sea, the wide sky, and the lush garden.

While referring to the results of this survey, we would like to implement such projects in other regions as well.

The 12th High School-University Collaborative Education Forum will be held on Friday, December 5th!

The Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council is holding a forum for the purpose of “sharing information on domestic trends and disseminating information on initiatives in Kyoto” on the issue of collaboration and connected education between high schools and universities.

This year’s 12th Collaborative High School and University Education Forum will be held under the theme of “Connecting High School and University and Forming Academic Ability: Thinking about the Achievement Test (tentative name).” We look forward to your participation.

Outline of the event

The 12th High School-University Collaborative Education Forum

banner3 University entrance examinations are deeply linked to the school system and social structure of the country. In Japan, the premise of the academic achievement test is that a nationwide common educational curriculum has been established, and it is obligatory that the exam questions be first published and that they be published after the fact. However, these are also things that are unique to Japan from a global perspective. In the current reform of entrance examinations, the implementation of multiple common examinations, graded evaluations, the introduction of IRT (Item Response Theory), and the use of computers are also on the table for discussion. I would like to consider the realistic possibility of a “achievement test (tentative name)” including such issues.

* Parliamentary Debate is a debate that, as the name suggests, is a debate that imitates the British parliamentary format, and is widely recognized in the United Kingdom and other countries around the world as a kind of public communication. In addition, since it is a question of how to attract an audience and convince them of their own position, it is attracting attention as a highly effective educational method for fostering the comprehensive skills (logical thinking, problem-solving, communication, presentation skills, etc.) necessary for global human resources, which are in demand right now.

2014 Kyoto Studies Course “The Joy of Travel: Entertainment in Kyoto in the Edo Period” will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2014!

(6th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~The Gaze of Tourism~”

Pleasure of the trip It is often said that Kyoto became a tourist city after the middle of the Edo period. According to travel records, it seems that sightseeing in Kyoto at that time was centered on visiting shrines, temples, and famous sites, just as it is now. At the same time, Kyoto at that time saw a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment performances. The existence of these facilities and entertainment is thought to have been one of the pleasures of traveling for those who visited Kyoto. In this lecture, I would like to introduce these situations while showing specific materials.
