■The 14th Kyoto Student Festival Theme

■Thoughts contained in the theme…

By involving people all over Kyoto to create a place and opportunity where students can "demonstrate their abilities without regret," which was the trigger for the launch of the Kyoto Student Festival, and by realizing a festival in which students of more diverse genres than ever participate proactively, we will add "student-likeness" to Kyoto's festival culture and take on the challenge of becoming the "Four Great Festivals of Kyoto" on par with the three major festivals in Kyoto.

The 14th Kyoto Student Festival

The 14th Kyoto Student Festival was planned with the aim of providing as many students as possible with opportunities to "demonstrate the power of students without regret," which is the activity philosophy of the Kyoto Student Festival. In particular, this year's festival aims to realize a "festival in which people actively participate" by inviting more students from various fields, including art fields such as fashion and art, who had not participated in the festival so far, and we wanted to contribute to the revitalization of the region by disseminating it as an attraction of Kyoto. By expanding the range of genres in this way, we planned the project with the goal of creating a unique student culture for the festival while increasing the number of collaborators, and eventually becoming the "Four Great Festivals in Kyoto" on par with the three major festivals in Kyoto.

Student Support

Student Growth Program

The University Consortium Kyoto supports students' daily activities based on the principle of "proactively creating," and hopes that "exchanges" and "experiences" with a wide variety of people they come into contact with through independent activities will lead to new "awareness" and "learning" that will lead to their growth.
Specifically, we have adopted the PDCA cycle method, which emphasizes student activities as a single project, working as a team toward a single goal, and producing results as a team. With the goal of smooth execution of activities, improvement of projects, and continuous development of projects, we are working to create a system that promotes student growth by promoting the following support methods.

PDCA Cycle at Kyoto Student Festival

• Planning period (around November ~ May): Information gathering, awareness, planning
• Trial period (around May~September): Pre-planning (medium-sized project imitating the main festival)
• Verification period (around June~August): Mid-term review meeting
• Implementation period (October): Implementation of this project
• Dissemination of results (around October ~ November): Holding post-review meetings and report meetings

・Verification period "Interim review meeting"

・Dissemination of results "Post-event review meeting"

・Achievement dissemination "Achievement report meeting"

Survey of students' growth impressions for executive committee members

In fiscal 2015, the Foundation conducted a survey on the growth of the executive committee members of the Kyoto Student Festival. The activities of the Executive Committee are unique in that they are extracurricular activities conducted in cooperation with society at Intercollege. We investigated how we grow through this activity using the following three methods, and analyzed it quantitatively, qualitatively, subjectively, and objectively.

■Method (1) PROG test
that can objectively measure generic skills (2) Rubric-style questionnaire
that allows you to check unique ability indicators by level (3) Interview survey with more than 20 executive committee members ■ Results

Implementation Report

The Kyoto Student Festival was held in 2003 to enliven the "University City of Kyoto," and this year marks the 14th time. The Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee, which is organized by students, not only plans and manages the day of the festival held in October, but in recent years has been energetically working to deepen regional exchange throughout the year, and in fiscal 2016, we also carried out community-based activities to connect proposals that were newly solicited in the "Regional Revitalization Project" to the planning and realization. The 14th Kyoto Student Festival was planned and operated as a culmination of these activities, with the aim of providing as many students as possible with a place where they can "demonstrate their students' abilities" under the executive committee's annual theme of "Students' Challenge to the Four Major Festivals in Kyoto." In the various projects of the festival, while the students' ideas and their youth and power were presented, it was characteristic that performances by the specialized fields that art students who had not participated in until now were incorporated. In addition, the stage production using projection mapping at fashion contests and Grand Finale involved genres that had never existed before, and it seems that it helped to dispel the image of the festival as equal to the "Odori no Matsuri".

The Foundation, which plays a part in the Kyoto Student Festival Organizing Committee, sees the year-long activities as an opportunity for students to grow in addition to providing support for the festival, and has established a support system throughout the year. This year, in particular, it was a large-scale activity, such as holding two pre-events (in the Fushimi and Demachiyanagi areas), but in the visitor questionnaire, it was found that these did not directly attract customers. However, it was confirmed that the experience of the pre-event led to students' confidence and learning through the ongoing growth survey, and it was judged that the results of the activities were of a certain value. As the next fiscal year marks the 15th anniversary, we will continue to develop a system to support the Executive Committee by assessing the competence and potential of the Executive Committee (especially students who serve as executive committees). We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who came to the event and to all those who supported this project in various ways.
