Looking Back on the 2017 Kyoto Student Festival

Looking back on the 15th Kyoto Student Festival 2017

Outline of the event

■The 15th Kyoto Student Festival Theme
■ Activity Goals

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Kyoto Student Festival, which began in 2003. This year, in order to create a festival that is on a par with Kyoto’s three major festivals, we have been working on activities that approach various cultures under the theme of “Creating a New Culture, ‘Kyoto Student Culture.'”

The 15th Kyoto Student Festival

For one year, the 15th Kyoto Student Festival has been working on the activities of “rediscovering Kyoto culture and international culture,” “fusing student character and culture,” and “widely disseminating the charm of Kyoto student culture.” In particular, this year’s event was an unprecedentedly rich year for the Kyoto Student Festival, as we were able to actively engage in activities in collaboration with the Kyoto Cultural Power Project, which is developed by Kyoto Prefecture and Kyoto City, where we learned about culture from cultural figures from Kyoto who are active in the world on the 15th of every month and arranged them from the perspective of students. In this way, we were able to create a unique student culture for the festival while increasing the number of partners, and as a result, we were able to get closer to the “Four Great Festivals of Kyoto,” which are on a par with the three major festivals in Kyoto.

Year-round activities other than the main festival

The Kyoto Student Festival aims to be a “festival” that is loved by the community and rooted in the community, and conducts daily exchange activities throughout the year together with the local community.
In 2017, in addition to our previous activities, we held a large-scale pre-event titled “Anniversari Festa” and took on various challenges to realize the purpose of the activities of the Kyoto Student Festival.

♦ Commemorative Projects

・June 4, 2017 [15th Anniversary Festa in. Ukyo feat. Subway Tozai Line 20th Anniversary]

Student Support

Student Growth Programs

The University Consortium Kyoto supports students’ daily activities based on the principle of “creating their own initiative,” and hopes that “interaction” and “experience” with a wide variety of people in contact through independent activities will lead to new “awareness” and “learning” that will lead to student growth.
Specifically, we have adopted the PDCA cycle method, which treats student activities as a single project, and focuses on achieving results by working toward a single goal for each department. With the goal of smooth execution of activities, improvement of projects, and continuous development of businesses, we are working to create a system that promotes the growth of students by promoting the following support methods.

Implementation Report

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Kyoto Student Festival. I have been working hard every day under the theme of “Creating a ‘Kyoto Student Culture'”. On Sunday, October 8th, students who are active in various fields such as fashion, music, and food gathered here in Kyoto to create a festival unique to them, and the “trajectory” of the Kyoto Student Festival over the past 15 years.
In addition to the overwhelming odori “Kyo Flame Sodefure!”, music and fashion contests, fair-day projects where you can enjoy Kyoto’s food culture, and children’s projects that even small children can enjoy.
The Foundation, which plays a role in the Kyoto Student Festival Organizing Committee, in addition to providing support for the festival, sees the year-long activities as opportunities for student growth and develops a support system throughout the year. In particular, this year was also the 15th anniversary of the event, and it was a pre-large-scale activity that involved many commemorative projects, including the anniversary festival. In the visitor survey, it was found that these year-round efforts did not directly attract customers. However, I feel that the one-year activity experience has led to the students’ confidence and learning. As we mark the end of this milestone and the 16th anniversary, we will continue to assess the capabilities and potential of the executive committee (especially the students who serve as executive staff) and develop a system to support the executive committee so that it can continue to be the 20th and 30th anniversaries. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who came to the event and to all those who supported us in various ways in holding this project.

Let’s go to the school festival together!

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. It is also interesting that each university has its own personality, such as various projects and mock shops by each club and circle, and appearances by famous cultural figures, singers, and celebrities. Of course, it is attractive that not only university students, but also high school students and the general public can visit. Why don’t you experience a different university atmosphere that you can’t experience at an open campus? Here is all the information on each university’s school festival!

Publication of materials from three universities on support for students with disabilities

In response to the implementation of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities 2016, universities have urgently needed to establish support coordinators and improve their software and services. However, universities that have little experience in accepting students with disabilities have no choice but to build a system in the dark when developing a support system, and it takes a lot of time to smoothly manage and implement support for students with disabilities.
In order to solve these issues, we will publish the materials of the three universities (Kyoto University, Kyoto Sangyo University, and Doshisha University) provided in the Foundation’s designated research project (see below) conducted in FY2016.
The tacit knowledge accumulated by the coordinators is “visualized” by sharing information on materials, and is open to the public in the hope of improving the skills of support staff and raising the quality of support for students with disabilities at each university.
We would appreciate it if you could improve it according to the support environment and policies of each university.

Reference: FY2016 Designated Survey Topics

theme	Establishment of a database of accessibility and reasonable accommodations for the elimination of discrimination against persons with disabilities at universities Toward the Establishment of a Collaborative Organization for the Office of Support for Students with Disabilities
Principal Investigator	Satoshi Yoshida (Associate Professor, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University)
Background and Objectives of the Research	In response to the enforcement of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities in 2016, there is an urgent need for universities to establish a support coordinator for students with disabilities, to understand and improve the physical environment on campus, and to improve the software and service environment that supports education and research. In addition, there are many different forms of support such as reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities, and the individual knowledge and know-how of the staff in charge of responding to them are not shared, and depending on the employment status of the staff, they remain buried and are not shared both inside and outside the university. In connection with this, we will significantly increase the level of progress in efforts to eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities at universities in the wake of the enactment of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination on the Grounds of Disability in FY2016 by building a database that covers the knowledge of efforts at each university, and to bring it to the same level as or exceed that of developed UD countries, and to create new initiatives for the elimination of discrimination against persons with disabilities. The purpose of this course is to present the possibility of a project led by the University Consortium Kyoto. In particular, the purpose of this study is to “visualize” the tacit knowledge and skills of the faculty and staff in charge, such as the know-how for constructive dialogue and consensus-building with relevant faculty members, as well as methods for raising awareness and disseminating information, which the support coordinators for students with disabilities at each university have accumulated in their practice, and to present guidelines that can be shared with university staff who have not yet established a sufficient support organization for students with disabilities on campus.

Event Report

Kyoto City Daisaku Kadokawa, Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee Chairperson, and international students sprinkling water

At the 15th Kyoto Student Festival, students themselves become “culture” in Kyoto, which is called “Kyoto City of Students” under the theme of creating “Kyoto student culture,” and we are working every day with the goal of becoming a “culture” themselves, learning about Kyoto’s culture, and creating a new culture that adds a student’s personality to it. And at the main festival of the Kyoto Student Festival (held on October 8), which is the culmination of these efforts, we aim to make the festival more rooted in Kyoto and loved by people while demonstrating the passionate energy of the students to the fullest.
This time, “15th Anniversary Festa in Kyoto Station Building & Porta” was held on Sunday, August 27 at the Kyoto Station Building and the underground shopping mall Porta in front of Kyoto Station.
The opening event began with a chalk art performance by the Mr./Ms. of the Kyoto University of the Arts Art Club, which captivated the Mr./Ms. of visitors, followed by a greeting from Mr. Daisaku Kadokawa, the Mayor of Kyoto, and a declaration of the opening from Mr. Kima, Chairman of the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee.
At the Porta Plaza Stage, the odori and costumes are very popular every time. There were games and quizzes using the Sodefure Collection and local characters, a project by Mr./Ms. Scientific, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Kyoto Kumiyama High School, which conveyed the wonder and fun of science, and a performance by students of the Kyoto Tachibana University calligraphy club based on the mounts drawn by the children of visitors at the booth, and members of the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee and visitorsWe had a wonderful time and the project was carried out.
In the plaza in front of the station, Mr./Ms.everyone is busy wearing yukata with Chinese and Korean exchange students to experience and make their favorite booths, such as the Uchimizu project to cool Kyoto Station in the summer, the school festival booth where you can feel the culture of the students closely, the Kyoto Flame Mikoshi Exhibition, and the interaction with local characters and taking photos. There was a line at the Mr./Ms. booth, and the students were so energetic that they could not be defeated by the summer heat.
In particular, the Kyoto Student Music Award, a student music contest that was the centerpiece of this year’s event, was held at Muromachikoji Plaza. With a passion for music that could not be defeated by the midsummer sun, the battle for participation in the Kyoto Student Festival Main Festival was waged, attracting many visitors to the world of student music.
And the long-awaited stage performance by “Heisei KIZOKU” will appear at Porta Plaza and Muromachi Koji Square! A large number of people gathered at each venue, were drawn into the world of dance, and created a wonderful space, and the venue was full of applause.
At the same time as the summer came to a close, the excitement of the 15th Kyoto Student Festival pre-event came to a climax.
