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.
