What is the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department?

(1) Activities
With the aim of encouraging junior high and high school students nationwide to “study at a university in Kyoto” and “live a student life in Kyoto,” university students studying in Kyoto gather and post articles planned, interviewed, and photographed from the student’s perspective on the website “Kotokare” and SNS to convey “the real charm of Kyoto that I want to convey to junior high and high school students.”

《Operating media》WEB site “Kotokare” 

(2) Background of establishment
Kyoto City is home to 38 universities and junior colleges, and approximately 150,000 students, or 10% of the population, are a “university town and student town.” However, as the number of 18-year-olds declines over the long term and competition among universities is expected to intensify further, it is necessary to actively disseminate the appeal of Kyoto as a “university city and student city” to junior high and high school students who will become university students in the future.
Therefore, as a new initiative from the 27th academic year in collaboration with Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto, we have established the “Kyoto Student Public Relations Department” to disseminate to junior and senior high school students nationwide from the perspective of students the “real charm of Kyoto” that university students studying in Kyoto experience while living their student life.

【Introduction】Local cup noodles supervised by the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee were released nationwide on 2/27 (Monday)!

Kyoto Student Festival collaborates with Nissin Foods Co., Ltd.’s local cup noodles

20170213-05Supervised by the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee, Nissin Foods Co., Ltd.’s Nissin Noodle Nippon series “Kyoto Back Fat Soy Sauce Ramen” has been on sale nationwide since Monday, February 27.

The “Nissin Noodle Nippon” series has been sold by Nissin Foods Co., Ltd. as a “local noodle brand that enlivens various noodle cultures rooted in various parts of Japan together with the community” so far.

This was the first attempt to be supervised by a student group, and the finished ramen was inspired by the Kyoto ramen style of “back fat chacha ramen” and topped with Kujo green onions unique to Kyoto. Kyoto students recognize it as a true “taste of Kyoto”. It is finished in a dish that we are proud of. It is sold at convenience stores and supermarkets nationwide, so if you are interested, please try it!

◆ Development (Comment by the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee)

Approximately 100 university students who belong to the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee tasted the ramen and aimed for the taste of ramen that is unique to Kyoto from the students’ point of view. By being involved in the development of Kyoto’s local ramen, we have reaffirmed the charm of Kyoto’s ramen and the charm of Kyoto’s food culture, and the Kyoto Student Festival will convey the charm of Kyoto from a new aspect.

【Report】The 18th Kansai Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK) was held

The 18th Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK) was held.

On February 16, the Kansai Student Support 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 and junior colleges in the Kansai region to exchange opinions and interact with each other.
 
This is the 18th time.Trends in Support for Students with DisabilitiesJun Murata, Assistant Professor (Chief Coordinator of the Support Room for Students with Disabilities) at Kyoto University, who is also a member of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Study Group on Study Group on Study Support for Students with Disabilities,We talked about changes in the situation surrounding support for students with disabilities in higher education institutions and nationwide trends.

In subsequent breakout sessions, 
, “Support Practice (Introductory and Advanced)”Support for students with developmental and mental disabilities (careers, external collaboration)The participants were divided into five groups under three themes, “Support System (Legal, Reasonable Accommodation),” and exchanged opinions on how to support students with disabilities, based on various issues and case studies faced by each university.

This year’s KSSK was attended by 61 faculty members, staff, counselors, nurses, and others from universities and junior colleges of different sizes and support systems. Participants’ comments include: “I was able to understand the points of the second summary (draft) of the study group on study support for students with disabilities and understand future trends,” “I felt that it was necessary to develop a disability support system and support program in advance,” “I was able to learn about the situation of other universities in detail at the subcommittee, which was helpful in setting up a support system for my own university. Even though the universities are different, they have a lot in common, and it was very helpful to hear their lively opinions.”

The feature of KSSK is that it is possible to have frank and frank discussions from the perspective of a practitioner, regardless of the size of the university or the presence or absence of a support system, regardless of the position or level of experience, and to form a network of universities and staff. The articles of this subcommittee will be introduced on the KSSK website (https://www.consortium.or.jp/project/dss/kssk) at a later date.
 
The next 19th meeting is scheduled to be held around September 2017. Once the details of the event have been decided, we will announce it on the website of the University Consortium Kyoto.

_MG_0044 _MG_0099
In the topic provision, we confirmed the trend of disability support in the country and exchanged information on support methods in a small group of subcommittees.
