Last year's volunteer activities at the Kawakubo Town Jizo Basin, which was set against the backdrop of the Higashi-Takase River, were very well received by the local community. This year, I would like to be involved in cleanup activities on the Higashi-Takase River and participate in environmental protection and community development.

By doing so, many people will know the unique charm of the Kamogawa space, and the number of people who want to cherish the Kamogawa River will increase as much as possible.

By thinking about travel etiquette for foreign tourists from the perspective of students, we will promote mutual understanding between the region and tourists. |

≫
≪ report meeting, 13 of the 14 organizations adopted this year (one group was absent) reported their activities. Taking advantage of the 8 minutes that each organization has to do, they present the results of their activities in their own presentations. The presentation gave each organization a very good understanding of the various initiatives that have been carried out in the region so far. In the Q&A session for four minutes after the presentation, it was evident that they sincerely responded to questions from the judges.
≪Opinion exchange meeting and exchange meeting ≫
facilitated by Kyoto City Urban Development Advisors, and after the debriefing session, opinion exchange meetings and exchange meetings were held as a place to casually discuss what they learned from being involved in the learning town collaboration project. Approximately 50 participants, including not only those involved in the selected organizations but also those who came to listen to the presentations, were divided into groups of 4 or 5 people and exchanged opinions while changing group members on the themes of what they learned and what they learned from the activities, specific episodes that led to learning, what they would like to do in the future through regional cooperation, and what they expect. In addition, in order to share what they talked about in these groups, they wrote down what impressed them at the end on sticky notes and posted them on the board, further deepening their exchange.
Following on from last year's ≫≪
award ceremony and commentary, we again commended business organizations that have achieved excellent results this fiscal year. This year's Outstanding Organization was selected by the "Niconico Family Concert Executive Committee of Kyoto City University of Arts Student Volunteers," which received the award in recognition of their proper implementation of the objectives clearly stated at the time of application and their activities being clearly stated in their own words.
