This event was held as a project of the Takahatadai Branch of Hino City Central Community Center, and aimed to allow local people to "watch" and experience the activities of the clubs active at the community center, and in addition to our university, clubs from UR Urban Development Corporation, Meisei University, the local neighborhood association, and Hino Third Junior High School also exhibited. Many participants came on the day, and students and faculty from each seminar were able to actively interact with local people.
Teikyo University will continue to provide Practical learning education that is outlined in Educational Guidelines.
Tazaki Seminar
Current and former students gathered together to sing, play the saxophone, and piano, perform hula dancing, and also held a workshop using tone chimes. Every day, they interacted with many local people through music, and enjoyed the three days of activities in a fun atmosphere.
Ikushima Seminar
In collaboration with the Urban Renaissance Agency, we created a place where people of all ages, from children to the elderly, could gather, play, and chat casually. With the children, we played card games and Mölkky, as well as radio exercises led by a graduate of our university who is working as a social educator. With the elderly and foreign residents who have recently moved in, we were able to hear various stories about community life while looking at old photos and eating marshmallows melted over a bonfire.
Konno Seminar
We set up a disaster prevention cafe and introduced plastic bag cooking (a cooking method that helps save water) and rolling stock (a method of updating stockpiles by buying only what you use) in our exhibits, with a theme of food in times of disaster. For the plastic bag cooking, we showed a video of how to make it and demonstrated and offered 40 servings of chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) in plastic bags. It was well received by people of all ages, from children to the elderly, who commented that it was "easy to make in times of disaster and yet delicious," and we also received requests to participate in disaster prevention drills in other areas.
