Development of inter-university and regional collaboration that takes advantage of regional characteristics
Purpose of the Tournament
「2040 年に向けた高等教育のグランドデザイン」の推進やポストコロナ時代を見据えた教育及び施策の展開などにより、高等教育は新たなフェーズに移行しました。これからの高等教育には、我が国の成長・発展を牽引する役割が求められています。
さらに、地方創生・地域活性化の文脈からは、大学コンソーシアム等の取組に対して、地域や産業界との共創的な活動等の幅広い観点での貢献を期待する声が、これまで以上に高まっています。
このような中、今、京都においては、令和5(2023)年3 月の文化庁移転、同年10月の京都市立芸術大学の京都駅東部エリアへの移転などを契機として、文化・芸術を基軸とした大学・地域・産業界との連携を促進する機運が高まっています。
今回のフォーラムでは、大学間連携組織として大学コンソーシアムが果たすべき役割について改めて考えるとともに、それぞれの地域や魅力を活かした、多様で柔軟な学びの取り組みについて意見を交換します。

schedule
Day1
| Opening Remarks ⏰13:00-13:15 |
| Katsuhiro Ohara (President of Doshisha University, Chairman of the University Consortium Kyoto) Mr. Koji Matsui (Mayor of Kyoto) Mr. Takatoshi Nishiwaki (Governor of Kyoto Prefecture) |
| ⏰Performance 13:15-13:40 |
| This is a flute quartet performed by students of Kyoto City University of Arts. [Performer] Ms. Mami Kuroda (4th year) Ms. Riwa Tamai (3rd year) Ms. Rio Nakata (3rd year) Ms. Miu Yamazaki (2nd year) |
| Keynote Speech (1) ⏰13:45-14:35 |
| Utilizing the resources of the region, the ideal way of higher education in the new era ~Exchange and Collaboration in Kyoto Based on Culture and Art~ Outline Mr. Sako Usubi (Director of Information Centre, Kyoto Seika University) > It is said that with the rapid progress of globalization, it has become difficult to preserve culture and art that are considered “unique to the region”. One of the reasons for this is that there are fewer opportunities to come into contact with culture and the arts. It can also be pointed out that the residents’ understanding of the culture and arts rooted in the community has not been reflected. Therefore, I would like to focus on the use of local cultural and artistic resources for higher education, as well as the inheritance of tangible and intangible culture itself. By inheriting and diverting this cultural representation, the region deepens exchanges and collaborates with both inside and outside the country. In this lecture, we will understand the mechanism by which culture is passed down by local residents, and deepen our understanding of the importance of culture being recognized and valued as a community heritage and being developed in the field of higher education. |
| Keynote Speech (2) ⏰14:40-15:30 |
| Future cultural policy and inter-university and inter-regional collaboration based on trends in higher education Mr. Jugo Imaizumi (Deputy Commissioner, Agency for Cultural Affairs) outline> Population decline and depopulation not only lead to the weakening of society, but are also important issues related to life and death for higher education, cultural heritage protection, and local communities. As our responsibility as living in the present day, we must pass on the precious heritage inherited from the past to the next generation, and at the same time, we must educate the next generation to pass it on to the next generation. In doing so, the region has its history and stories, higher education has resources related to education and research, and culture has the means and potential to create new value through these mediations. While the scope of what can be done on its own is limited, we will explore measures that can lead to the revitalization of communities by linking higher education, cultural policy, and the local community. |
| ⏰Break 15:30-16:20 |
| ⏰Symposium 16:20-17:50 |

| Closing Remarks ⏰17:50-18:00 |
