Overview of the business
Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto are implementing the "University Community Collaboration and Support Project (nickname: Learning Town Collaboration Project)" by granting support money to projects and projects in which universities, students, and the local community collaborate to develop Kyoto's city and revitalize the region.
It has been implemented since the 16th academic year with the aim of developing human resources by securing practical education and research opportunities for universities, and solving and revitalizing local issues through the knowledge and vitality of students for the region, and this year is the 15th year.
|
It is now easier to apply for the NEW ≪Cultural Frame≫! From this fiscal year, applications for cultural quotas may be adopted in the general category. As for the judging, the contents of the project are examined in the same way for both the general and cultural frameworks, and only the cultural framework is examined from the viewpoint of the contribution of the student's "culture" to the community.

【Common requirements for general and cultural frameworks】
(1) Projects in which universities and student groups and local communities (residents' organizations, civic action groups, businesses, etc.* mainly active in the Kyoto City area) collaborate and collaborate as an organization or group, especially those in which students take the initiative in their activities.
* Administrative agencies may be included in the collaborating destination, but cooperation with administrative agencies alone is not possible.

In response to the students' thoughts, the judges asked sometimes tough but promising questions.
On the day of the event, a total of about 160 people, including those related to the presenting organizations, attended.
Heisei 30 Business certification ceremony
On Tuesday, July 3, 2018, a certification ceremony for the Gakumachi Collaboration Project was held at Kyoto City Hall, and certificates were awarded to 19 organizations selected this year. The representatives of each organization who received the certificate from Mayor Kadokawa of Kyoto City expressed their strong determination. The selection committee members said, "I hope that the activities will deepen your own learning and support the local community so that they can take the initiative in their efforts."
From now on, the activities of each organization will start in earnest. We will inform you about the activities of each organization on the website "Gakumachi NEWS" of the University Consortium Kyoto, and facebook, so please pay attention to it!
Achievement report meeting
≪ announcement≫
On Sunday, March 24, 2019, the 19 organizations adopted in fiscal 2018 (general category: 17 organizations, cultural quota: 2 organizations) reported their activities. Each organization gave a creative presentation on the results of this year's activities in the 8-minute session, and it was a result report meeting that showed how they have been actively involved in projects that are close to the community.
As a new initiative in fiscal 2018, we introduced a designated question system by the selected organizations, and not only the judges but also the students actively asked questions. In addition, we introduced a comment sheet where the selected organizations can write their impressions and advice on each group's presentation, and we were able to deepen the exchange of opinions among the students.
≪Opinion exchange meetings and exchange meetings≫
After the debriefing session, under the direction of the Kyoto City Urban Development Advisor, an opinion exchange meeting and exchange meeting were held as a place for students to reflect on what they learned from being involved in the Learning Town Collaboration Project and have a casual discussion.
Approximately 70 participants, including not only those involved in the selected organizations but also general visitors, were divided into groups of 4 or 5 people using round cardboard (enta-kun) as a table to reflect on their activities, and exchanged opinions while changing group members on the themes of what they learned, specific episodes that led to learning, what they would like to challenge in the future through regional cooperation, and what they expect. In addition, in order to share what each group said, we were able to deepen our interaction by writing down what impressed us on sticky notes and posting them on the board.
≪Award Ceremony and Commentary≫
Every fiscal year, we commend business organizations that have achieved the most outstanding results and present activity incentives. This year's best organization was selected for Hasumai (Ryukoku University), which worked on the "Collaborative Project to Restore the Connections of the Danchi"!
The award was given in recognition of the students' direct efforts to address regional issues, the depth of their involvement with the community, and their ability to link the issues they discovered to results with their unique ideas.
