KASANEO
Formed in 2018. A project for multi-generational exchanges with the theme of "fashion".Students who like second-hand clothes pay attention to the fact that "fashion goes through a certain cycle and repeats fashion", take over clothes that are not worn now from the elderly, add student items to them, and dress in a modern style. To propose.When receiving clothes, it is important to listen to the events and trends of the time when the clothes were worn, and to take over the clothes as "memories" rather than "things".In collaboration with Uji City, we are implementing the "Uji City Senior Citizens' Academy" project, which is a course system for Uji citizens aged 65 and over, and is among the academy students and academy graduates who study on the same campus as the students. This is a project that students and the elderly work together, with some participating as senior members of this project.The handed over clothes are introduced together with the provider's "memories" through fashion shows, exhibitions, and the creation of magazines.
REACH
A new project formed in 2019.Through interaction with people with disabilities and addictions, we will deepen mutual understanding and explore the ideal society in which diverse people live together.As a specific initiative, a "blind cafe" was held at a cafe in Kyoto city in September.At this event, cafe users wear eye masks and low vision experience glasses, and while they are "invisible / difficult to see," they look at the menu, order, and eat.Through the experience, it was an opportunity to learn about the daily life of people with visual impairments and how to interact with them more easily.In addition, we regularly interact with users of the drug addiction recovery facility "Kyoto DARC" through making resin accessories, and sell the created accessories at local events and school festivals of our university. Through this, we are trying to understand the facility and disseminate the activities of REACH.Since the name of the project is still low, we will focus on public relations within the university to secure members and continue stable activities.
