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 to higher education. In response, the Kyoto High School-University Collaboration Research Council began 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 at each school.
Takadaisha Collaborative Future Session
The program aims to promote the career development of high school and university students, and involves dialogue and exchange on set themes across generations and schools, including high school students, university students, and working adults.
Event Overview
Discover your future through conversations
– Discover hints for your future through conversations with high school students, university students, and working adults.
Have you ever stopped to think, “What does my future hold?” or “What should I study?”
In recent years, high schools have increasingly adopted “integrated inquiry time” and other learning programs that allow students to ask themselves questions and deepen their thinking through dialogue with others. However, many students struggle to visualize how their learning will connect to their future.
This event will bring together second-year high school and university students with similar concerns, who will discuss their thoughts frankly across grade levels and positions.
Through small-group dialogue with working adult facilitators, we will come into contact with a variety of values and ways of thinking and think together about what we want to do and how we want to live!
