21st Kyoto Student Festival Theme
About the theme
The 21st Kyoto Student Festival has concluded its commemorative 20th edition, and the 21st Kyoto Student Festival will once again be a festival that will once again “fly away” toward a new future. Therefore, with the cooperation of industry, academia, the public, and the local community, Kyoto students will take the lead in everything from planning to running the event on the day. Through this festival, we will spread our wings and make it a bright year. In addition, by changing the expression to “Fly, soar!” instead of the two letters “Hisho,” Kyoto Student Festival will take the lead in calling out to students and pulling them forward. Through the Kyoto Student Festival, we will revitalize Kyoto, have fun for visitors, and help the Kyoto Student Festival become one of the “Four Great Festivals of Kyoto.”

21st Kyoto Student Festival Annual Activities Introduction
The Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee is communicating with people in the Okazaki area, where the Kyoto Student Festival is held, and with people in the area with whom we have been connected through past activities, while conveying our daily gratitude and preparing for the main festival. We are building a cooperative relationship with We aim to be a festival that is loved not only by the main festival but also by the local community and is rooted in the community, and we will carry out daily activities together with the local community throughout the year.
Dance performance/delivery class
Kyoen Sodefure at various locations inside and outside of Kyoto Prefecture! We held demonstrations and lectures (commonly known as on-site classrooms) at elementary, junior high, high schools, and special needs schools in Kyoto Prefecture. We are working to let as many people as possible experience the charm of the Kyoto Student Festival. This year, Kyoen Sodefure will be held at Sanga Stadium by KYOCERA and Teramachi Kyogoku Shopping Street, and many people will be able to enjoy the Kyoen Sodefure! I was able to touch on it.
Regional exchange
We participate as student volunteers at children’s cafeterias in the Okazaki area and patrol at night to ensure the safety of the area. We also participate in local festivals and interact with children through play booths. In addition to aiming to revitalize the region, we are working to deepen interaction with local people and to let more people in Kyoto know more about the Kyoto Student Festival.
This year, we also shot a collaborative PV with the Kyoto Police Academy.

International exchange
We actively engage in exchange activities with international students studying in Kyoto. We convey the charms of Kyoto to international students, and in turn, we learn various things from them, and we encourage each other.
This year, we held international student exchange events in May and September, with a total of 89 international students participating. We also carried the Keien Mikoshi together at the main festival and operated the booth.
environmental activities
We are conducting cleanup activities under the theme of “KYO-SENSE,” which was originated from the Kyoto Student Festival and means “environmental initiatives that can start today.” This year as well, we conducted a cleanup activity in the Okazaki area before the main festival.
