【Activities】Ritsumeikan University Camo Cinema 17 Executive Committee

On Sunday, August 21, we visited "Camo Cinema 17"!

 This time it was held for the first time in three years due to the influence of the corona disaster.                                                       He was actively engaged in public relations activities such as SNS transmission on Instagram, Twitter, and blog, and distribution of leaflets on the streets and at events. The original date of the event was Saturday 20th, but it was postponed to the next day due to rain, and on Sunday 21st, it rained heavily during the day, but it was held safely without a hitch. 

"Kamo Cinema" was launched 20 years ago by Ritsumeikan University students who were interested in environmental conservation of the Kamo River, a symbol of Kyoto, and currently has 35 members. In Kyoto, a student town, cleanup activities and outdoor movie screenings are held every summer as an effort to raise awareness of beautification among young people of the same generation. From there, this year marks the 17th year as an event that connects people to people, people to movies, and people to Kamogawa. 

On the day of the event, a cleanup activity called "Pikakamo" was held from 3:30 p.m., slightly staggered due to rain. At the same time, a "used book exchange meeting" was also held, which was the first attempt of the project. This is a project in which participants bring books and exchange them for new used books. By reducing the number of books thrown away, it was also part of the SDGs initiatives, and books of various genres were lined up at the venue, from novels to picture books, picture books, and old magazines. Some of the books had messages for the exchangers, and it was such a project that warmed the feelings of the recipients. In addition, there was a quiz-style project for children and their families, and it was an event that men and women of all ages could participate in.

 This year's film is "Music."                                                             It is an animated film that skillfully visualizes the "initial impulse to music".                                            When I asked the executive committee members why "Music" was chosen among the many film works, they said that it was a film that reminded me of the importance of "culture" through film, and that I wanted to screen such a work at Camo Cinema while opportunities to experience and interact with culture and art are disappearing due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Even when the sun went down, the temperature didn't drop much and it was hot, but as the showtime approached, more and more people came to watch the show, and there were many people who were walking along the Kamo River stopping to look at the screen. 

In the future, they are thinking of not only holding events once a year, but also events that can be held on a daily basis.                              We look forward to your future activities!

【Activities】Kyoto University, Ritsumeikan University, etc. Kyoto Student Theater Festival Executive Committee

On Thursday, September 15, we visited the Kyoto Student Theater Festival 2022!

This year, the festival will be held from September 9th (Fri.) ~ 19th (Mon.), and it has become a large-scale theater festival with 11 performing groups and 10 executive committee members. It is said that it may be full on Saturdays and Sundays, and there were many spectators on the day of the interview.

The venue is "Yosho Children's Park" located about a 5-minute walk from Demachiyanagi Station.                                             As soon as I arrived, I saw a large white outdoor special stage. The outdoor stage, which is also a symbol, was larger and sturdier than I had imagined on the website, and the sides were covered with wooden pillars painted in white and blue. There is something warm about it that is large and sturdy, and it is convincing that it was made in the image of a cocoon.                                                                    I also visited the outdoor special stage that was being prepared, and it was very large, and the distance between the stage and the audience seats was just right. Even during the interview, it was very impressive to see each person in charge silently preparing for the performance.

According to Mr. Okada, an executive committee member, the venue was moved from indoor to outdoor "Yosho Children's Park" last year due to the influence of Corona.                                                  He talked about how he held regular meetings with local residents and gradually increased the number of opportunities for interaction and how he was able to provide a place for students who had lost the opportunity to see theater due to Corona. Of course, there are difficulties such as weather problems unique to the outdoors and insect repellent measures, but I could clearly see that the local people watched over and the theater professionals and students worked together to create a wonderful stage. 

In the park, there was a shooting corner where goods were sold and sweets were used as prizes, and there was an exhibition corner of "Mainichi Flyers" created every day to liven up the theater festival. From among the many leaflets displayed, stickers were put on the leaflets that they liked, and other ways to enjoy the waiting time until the play started. 

While we were enjoying the park, it was time to start the performance, and thanks to the kindness of the executive committee members, we were able to watch the play.                          The first time I saw a play by a student group, it was, in a word, a masterpiece! I was fascinated by the emotionally rich expressiveness, sometimes made me think, and it was 45 minutes in the blink of an eye. There was a train running very close to the park, and it was also attractive that they skillfully incorporated it into the theater. 

On the last day, two awards, the Audience Award and the Jury Award, will be announced, and the group with the highest audience score will qualify for the National Student Theater Festival to be held next year. I hope that future stage actors will be born from here. 

Although it was a short interview, I was able to hear the passion of the executive committee members, the appeal of the theater festival, the difficulties they faced, and their thoughts for the future, and I was able to enjoy the charm of the Kyoto Student Theater Festival by watching the play.                                                          I'm looking forward to your future activities!

 

【Activities】Kyoto Seika University, Kyoto City University of Arts, Seian University of Art and Design, Saga Art University BORDER! Executive Committee

On Saturday, November 26th, we visited "Art Festival BORDER! 2022" in Umekoji Park!

BORDER! The Executive Committee consists mainly of art university students in the Kansai region, and plans, operates, and implements art festivals with the main purpose of creating opportunities for citizens to experience art and nurturing young artists.

This year's theme is "Ichimiri Yorimichi" Aiming to be an event where you can enjoy the world of art with just one millimeter detour, we will deliver an even wider range of art through the annual marche, live events, and workshops, as well as the first outdoor event and stage performance.

On the day of the event, the weather was cloudy, but the autumn leaves of the trees were beautiful and it was a comfortable season, so there were many people with various purposes in the park. According to Mr. Okazaki, an executive committee member, last year it was held at Zest Oike, so it was mainly train users, but this year it was the first outdoor event, and the traffic has changed considerably, and he is happy that a wide range of people, regardless of age or gender, can see it.                                                        In fact, citizens and tourists who happened to pass by stopped and eagerly watched the live paint and marche, and I think it was an opportunity for people of all ages to become interested.                                                             On the other hand, there were about 30 groups of exhibiting artists at the Marche, which is the main project, but the number of exhibitors was almost the same as last year despite the large site, so they wanted to make this an issue for the future.

At this event, efforts were also implemented with an awareness of the SDGs in terms of reducing food loss.                               Workshops were held in advance to make paints and create art works based on discarded vegetables and fruits, and the works were exhibited. The gentle colors made the picture look warm.

A report will be published on future activities.                                               Every year, the website is also attractive, so please take a look there!                      Even if you couldn't make it to the event this time, please try to experience art!

【Activities】Doshisha Women's University, Ryukoku University, Doshisha University, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto University, etc. Tokyo Light Executive Committee

On Saturday, December 10, we visited "Miyako Light '22"!

Miyako Light is a Kyoto machiya light-up event that has been held in the Shimogyo-ku neighborhood of Kyoto City since 2005 (this year, Kamishichiken and Jofukuji-dori Daikokucho).                                        This year's concept is "a light of revival that connects people and illuminates townhouses."                                              As the bonds between people fade and the vitality of the city becomes weaker than before, it contains the desire to return the vitality of the city and regain the connection between people.

At the venue, the "lights of life" were expressed, with lights coming from inside the townhouse. Unlike the glittering lights that we associate with the word "illumination," the gentle lights leaking from the lattice further enhanced the atmosphere of Kyomachiya.

Due to the Corona disaster, we refrained from planning plans and PR activities aimed at attracting customers, and members were replaced. We interviewed Mr. Mitsuhashi, a member of the executive committee, about how he has continued his activities amid the changing environment.

"In organizing the event, we have always valued the connection with the local people, and thanks to your support and cooperation, we have been able to continue for many years. It is difficult to hold the event itself unless we coexist with the community, so I am full of gratitude.                                               On the other hand, we have not been able to fully convey the appeal of the "lights of life" that we want to convey, and some have said that it is "inconspicuous" and "difficult to understand."                                        We will be watching the situation of the new coronavirus infection, but in the future, we would like to hold events and other events to appeal a little more."

Mr. Mitsuhashi talked about issues such as strengthening PR capabilities, but on the day of the event, we were able to see many heartwarming scenes, such as alumni of the Tokyo Metropolitan Light Executive Committee and local people reuniting for the first time in a long time, and participants visiting shops whose business hours have been extended to coincide with the event. I believe that this is also a form of "coexistence with the community" realized only because you have continued to value the connection with the local people for 18 years.

In the future, they will prepare a report on the event and thank the local people.                                             We can't wait to see what next year will be like!

About the Kotokale High School Student Project

The "Kotokare High School Student Project" is a project born from the desire of Kyoto Student Public Relations Department members to provide high school students who are unable to work satisfactorily due to the coronavirus pandemic with a place where they can plan something and get a sense of accomplishment, and to provide them with opportunities to think about their career path through interviews and exchanges with university students.

Participants will interview Kyoto university students and circles together with members of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department, write articles for publication on the website "Kotokare", and present what they have learned from the interview at the results report meeting.

This year's interviewees and interviewees are as follows.

・Ritsumeikan University Course, Faculty of Industrial Sociology, Ms. Y

・Doshisha University Course Doshisha Co-operative Student Committee

・Kyoto University Course: Kyoto University Magic Circle KUMA

Kota Nakatani, a first-year student at Kyoto Municipal Horikawa High School, and Kanon Watanabe, a second-year student at Kyoto Municipal Saikyo High School, who applied for this project, participated in the Kyoto University Course.

October 22 (Sat)

 

On Saturday, October 22, high school students and members of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department gathered at Campus Plaza Kyoto.

After everyone introduced themselves, two high school students participated in the Kyoto University Course and took the Kyoto City Bus to the university. In the car, a member of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department took the lead in talking about questions about high school studies and university life, and deepening exchanges.

In addition, on this day of the Jidai Festival, I was able to experience the atmosphere of "Kyoto different from usual" in the procession that I saw through the window of the bus.

When I arrived at Kyoto University, I finally started my interview. Mr. Nakatani asks questions to the members of the Kyoto University Illusionist Research Group at a good pace, and Mr. Watanabe expands the topic from the answers and asks new questions. While meeting for the first time, we proceeded with the interview with a lively cooperative play.

The article written by the two will be published on the website "Kotokare" in December.

 

November 19 (Sat) Achievement report meeting

On Saturday, November 19, about one month after the interview, the participants gathered at Campus Plaza Kyoto. Each of the three courses shared what kind of stories they heard and what they felt through the interviews.

Mr. Watanabe was surprised to hear the introduction and talk of the Kyoto University Magic Circle (Kyoto University Magic Circle KUMA), and summarized the photos of the day on PowerPoint and reported on it.
Even in high school, Watanabe creates materials in PowerPoint. They were not afraid to report at the debriefing session surrounded by university students and secretariat staff.
The Kyoto Student Public Relations Department members were amazed by the advanced technique of drawing participants into the talk, sometimes with jokes, and the high quality of the materials.
In addition, Mr. Watanabe expressed his gratitude many times, saying, "Thank you very much for this opportunity."

 Ms. Nakatani commented, "I deepened my understanding of the university" and "I enjoyed the work of summarizing the knowledge I gained from the interview in the form of an article."

In addition, there were reports from the Ritsumeikan University Course and the Doshisha University Course that we realized only because we interviewed them from the student's perspective, and we were able to share the new appeal of the three universities.

After the presentation, we played card games and chatted. The worries that high school students currently have about studying and taking entrance exams are all about "I understand, there was such a time" for university students who have experienced it earlier. Although the time between the two high school students was limited, by working with university students, they seemed to be able to feel the image of university life and the reality of becoming university students.

The "Kotokale High School Student Project" was the first challenge for students to be responsible for everything from planning to operation as part of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department. The project members commented, "It was difficult, but I was happy that the high school students participated," and "I would like to make use of this experience to come up with a better plan," and it was an opportunity for us to grow as a student organization.

The Kyoto Student Public Relations Department will continue to disseminate the "real charm of Kyoto" to junior high and high school students and prospective students nationwide through the website "Kotokare" and exchange projects, as university students studying in Kyoto can really feel.

2022 Internship Program "Long-Term Project Course" Project Presentation

 

The University Consortium Kyoto Internship Program "Long-Term Project Course" is a program in which teams work on themes and issues presented by host companies for about five months from mid-June.

At the project presentation on the last day of the lecture held on Saturday, November 5, the culmination of the activities of 10 projects was reported, and the experiences of each project were shared with the entire group.

During the comment time for the reflection, we received enthusiastic messages from the host company and the coordinator in charge, making it a suitable time for the final lecture.

I hope that the students will be able to apply the confidence and awareness gained from this valuable project experience to the rest of their university life.

We would like to express our gratitude to all the host companies for their efforts and cooperation for the growth of our students.
We hope that the results of the students' activities will be meaningful to the host companies.

【Activities】Ritsumeikan University Camo Cinema 17 Executive Committee

On Sunday, August 21, we visited "Camo Cinema 17"!

 This time it was held for the first time in three years due to the influence of the corona disaster.                                                       He was actively engaged in public relations activities such as SNS transmission on Instagram, Twitter, and blog, and distribution of leaflets on the streets and at events. The original date of the event was Saturday 20th, but it was postponed to the next day due to rain, and on Sunday 21st, it rained heavily during the day, but it was held safely without a hitch. 

"Kamo Cinema" was launched 20 years ago by Ritsumeikan University students who were interested in environmental conservation of the Kamo River, a symbol of Kyoto, and currently has 35 members. In Kyoto, a student town, cleanup activities and outdoor movie screenings are held every summer as an effort to raise awareness of beautification among young people of the same generation. From there, this year marks the 17th year as an event that connects people to people, people to movies, and people to Kamogawa. 

On the day of the event, a cleanup activity called "Pikakamo" was held from 3:30 p.m., slightly staggered due to rain. At the same time, a "used book exchange meeting" was also held, which was the first attempt of the project. This is a project in which participants bring books and exchange them for new used books. By reducing the number of books thrown away, it was also part of the SDGs initiatives, and books of various genres were lined up at the venue, from novels to picture books, picture books, and old magazines. Some of the books had messages for the exchangers, and it was such a project that warmed the feelings of the recipients. In addition, there was a quiz-style project for children and their families, and it was an event that men and women of all ages could participate in.

 This year's film is "Music."                                                             It is an animated film that skillfully visualizes the "initial impulse to music".                                            When I asked the executive committee members why "Music" was chosen among the many film works, they said that it was a film that reminded me of the importance of "culture" through film, and that I wanted to screen such a work at Camo Cinema while opportunities to experience and interact with culture and art are disappearing due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Even when the sun went down, the temperature didn't drop much and it was hot, but as the showtime approached, more and more people came to watch the show, and there were many people who were walking along the Kamo River stopping to look at the screen. 

In the future, they are thinking of not only holding events once a year, but also events that can be held on a daily basis.                              We look forward to your future activities!

【Activities】Kyoto University, Ritsumeikan University, etc. Kyoto Student Theater Festival Executive Committee

On Thursday, September 15, we visited the Kyoto Student Theater Festival 2022!

This year, the festival will be held from September 9th (Fri.) ~ 19th (Mon.), and it has become a large-scale theater festival with 11 performing groups and 10 executive committee members. It is said that it may be full on Saturdays and Sundays, and there were many spectators on the day of the interview.

The venue is "Yosho Children's Park" located about a 5-minute walk from Demachiyanagi Station.                                             As soon as I arrived, I saw a large white outdoor special stage. The outdoor stage, which is also a symbol, was larger and sturdier than I had imagined on the website, and the sides were covered with wooden pillars painted in white and blue. There is something warm about it that is large and sturdy, and it is convincing that it was made in the image of a cocoon.                                                                    I also visited the outdoor special stage that was being prepared, and it was very large, and the distance between the stage and the audience seats was just right. Even during the interview, it was very impressive to see each person in charge silently preparing for the performance.

According to Mr. Okada, an executive committee member, the venue was moved from indoor to outdoor "Yosho Children's Park" last year due to the influence of Corona.                                                  He talked about how he held regular meetings with local residents and gradually increased the number of opportunities for interaction and how he was able to provide a place for students who had lost the opportunity to see theater due to Corona. Of course, there are difficulties such as weather problems unique to the outdoors and insect repellent measures, but I could clearly see that the local people watched over and the theater professionals and students worked together to create a wonderful stage. 

In the park, there was a shooting corner where goods were sold and sweets were used as prizes, and there was an exhibition corner of "Mainichi Flyers" created every day to liven up the theater festival. From among the many leaflets displayed, stickers were put on the leaflets that they liked, and other ways to enjoy the waiting time until the play started. 

While we were enjoying the park, it was time to start the performance, and thanks to the kindness of the executive committee members, we were able to watch the play.                          The first time I saw a play by a student group, it was, in a word, a masterpiece! I was fascinated by the emotionally rich expressiveness, sometimes made me think, and it was 45 minutes in the blink of an eye. There was a train running very close to the park, and it was also attractive that they skillfully incorporated it into the theater. 

On the last day, two awards, the Audience Award and the Jury Award, will be announced, and the group with the highest audience score will qualify for the National Student Theater Festival to be held next year. I hope that future stage actors will be born from here. 

Although it was a short interview, I was able to hear the passion of the executive committee members, the appeal of the theater festival, the difficulties they faced, and their thoughts for the future, and I was able to enjoy the charm of the Kyoto Student Theater Festival by watching the play.                                                          I'm looking forward to your future activities!
