Business overview
The high school curriculum guidelines (March 2009) now include a description of “career education,” and there is a demand for the development of career and vocational education aimed at social and professional independence from primary and secondary education through to higher education. In light of this, the Kyoto High School-University Collaboration Research Council began planning a “career education” project in 2012 with the aim of stimulating high school students’ motivation to learn for the future and contributing to the promotion of career education in each school.
Takadaisha Collaborative Future Session
The aim of this program is to promote the career development of high school and university students, and it involves dialogue and exchange on set themes across generations and schools, including high school students, university students, and working adults.
Event Outline
Brushing up current research into future research ~ “Research” beyond generations and schools! ~
Have you ever thought about how what you learn in high school will connect to your future career?
In this Future Session, university professors, high school teachers, and coordinators who regularly accompany students in “inquiry” learning will talk about “how inquiry learning can be used to advance to university or choose a career.” Please join us
as an opportunity to not only brush up on your inquiry skills, but also to deepen your own thoughts on “inquiry and career,” and to interact and exchange opinions across generations and schools, such as high school students, university students, and working adults.
[For high school teachers] This event aims to achieve the following:
・Find a theme you would like to tackle in inquiry learning!
・Refine your inquiry learning themes and research questions!
・Connect inquiry learning with your career!
Let’s broaden our horizons by listening to the opinions and thoughts of people from various backgrounds!

Implementation Report
This year’s event was held on Sunday, December 22nd at Aya Terrace Hall in Ayabe City, northern Kyoto Prefecture, and 11 high school students, 15 university students, and 8 high school teachers participated.
As in last year’s event, the facilitator, coordinator, and observer provided topics from their respective perspectives, and the event was held in an interactive world cafe format. This year, not only high school and university students but also high school teachers participated, providing an opportunity to think deeply about “research and careers.”
The results of the participant survey showed that the overall satisfaction with the initiative was very high, with 100% of participants stating “satisfied” or “somewhat satisfied.” Comments such as “I was able to brush up on my research that will lead to the future” and “I was able to deepen my insight into research and future careers, and I was able to gain a new perspective on my research” suggest that each participant had new realizations and discoveries, and that it was a meaningful time that led to their own growth.
