In the midst of the Corona disaster, it is expected that it will be difficult to carry out the regional cooperation activities that we have been conducting so far, and it will be difficult to deepen cooperation with the community, so this time we will also target projects that have not been decided on a specific partner at the time of application, or projects that are intended to propose to the community (such as creating a publicity video of the store to promote the shopping district). However, even in such cases, it is desirable to understand the needs of the region while utilizing online and other means.

* Administrative agencies may be included in the collaborating destination, but cooperation with administrative agencies alone is not possible.
Examples: Surveys and research, public lectures, events, etc. in various fields such as health and welfare, social education, community development, promotion of academic, cultural, artistic or sports, environmental conservation,
and community safety.

If you have any questions about the basic plan of the ward or points to keep in mind when working in the community, you can consult with the Regional Power Promotion Office of each ward office or branch office.
Let's reconfirm and share our objectives and goals, and discuss once again whether the business content we are thinking of is the best way to achieve the objectives.

Implementation Report

Reiwa 3 Presentation Judging Meeting (Second Screening) *Held online

On Sunday, June 20, 2021, the second selection meeting (presentation judging meeting) of the Reiwa 3rd academic year collaboration project was held. Due to the influence of the new coronavirus infection Reiwa the school town collaboration project itself was canceled in the second year, and this year's presentation screening was held online for the first time. The applicant organizations made their presentations online, and the judges judged from Campus Plaza Kyoto.
The students seemed to be accustomed to the operation, perhaps due to the influence of online classes, and the screen sharing was carried out smoothly, and their passion was conveyed, such as the content of the project and how to promote cooperation with the community. In response to the students' thoughts, the judges asked sometimes tough but promising questions.
Although it is difficult to work as much as you would like in the midst of the Corona disaster, I got the impression that they are trying to do what they can in this situation, taking care of infection control measures, utilizing online. Announcements are also unique to online! Some group members appealed by participating online from their usual activity locations, which made the venue crowded.

Reiwa 3 Project Certification Ceremony

On Monday, July 12, 2021, a certification ceremony for the Reiwa 3rd academic town collaboration project was held at Kyoto City Hall, and 11 organizations selected this year were issued certificates by Mayor Kadokawa of Kyoto. The representatives of the organizations that received the certificates expressed their strong commitment. Some groups participated in unique attire to promote their efforts, such as the formal attire of the brass band, the aged boots that they always wear in the fields, and the white coat of the science class, which further raised expectations for the future.
In the comments from the selection committee after the certification ceremony, there was a tendency for many applications for new businesses, probably due to the corona disaster, and in order to continue while it is difficult to carry out activities as before, it is necessary to think together while relying on the local community and those around us, and I want you to deeply know the thoughts and history of local people and seniors, and work while thinking about them. I was told that I wanted them to work with humor and playfulness at times.
From now on, the activities of each organization will start in earnest.
Please pay attention to the reports on the website of the University Consortium Kyoto, the portal site "GAKUMACHI STATION" for university and regional cooperation, and facebook!

Achievement report meeting *Held online

≪ Report Session≫
In the Zoom webinar, 10 organizations selected in FY2021 reported their activities. During the six-minute session, each organization made ingenious presentations on the results of their activities this fiscal year, and it was very clear how they were actively involved in close proximity to the community. In the six-minute Q&A session, questions were asked by the pre-designated selected organizations for two minutes, and questions were asked by the judges for four minutes, and each organization responded sincerely to questions.

≪Opinion exchange meeting and exchange meeting≫ After the debriefing session,
it was held in a Zoom meeting led by the secretariat. Members of the selected organizations presented episodes of the activities of this project while introducing their favorite goods and booklets they produced on the screen. After all the episodes were shown, each group was asked to vote for the episode that resonated with them the most using the Zoom voting function, and the "Mirai Transmission Station Omusubi Shizuhara Support Team," which introduced the production of the "Soy Recipe Book," was selected as the first place.

≪Award Ceremony and Commentary≫
Every fiscal year, the business organization that has achieved the most excellent results is selected from among the selected organizations and awarded, and 100,000 yen is presented as an activity incentive. As a result of the screening, the "Umetsu Town Development Committee + Inui Seminar Umezu Group (Ritsumeikan University)", which has been engaged in activities to disseminate the charm and fun of the Umetsu School District online and in booklets, was selected as the best organization of the year. The award was given in recognition of the building of a relationship of trust with the local community, versatility that can be used as a model for other regions, and the implementation of activities that can only be done in this era, which fuses digital and analog in the Corona disaster, which makes it impossible to carry out activities in the same way as before.
