Notice of recruitment of Kyoto Student Public Relations Department!

Kyoto Student Public Relations DepartmentWe are looking for members to work with us!

What is the Kyoto Student Public Relations Club?

It is an organization that disseminates the charm of Kyoto, which is a “student city,” to junior high and high school students nationwide. Our mission is to make junior high and high school students want to go to university in Kyoto. In addition to operating “Kotokare,” a website that introduces the lifestyles of university students in Kyoto and the real information about Kyoto that they want to convey to junior high and high school students, we also promote the goodness of Kyoto through events and interviews. Mr./Ms., a university student in Kyoto, why don’t you demonstrate your “ideas”, “passion” and “teamwork” as the initiator of this project?
(It is a student organization that is celebrating its ninth year this year, which was established in the 27th year of Heisei through the collaboration of Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto.)
