Hachioji CampusSeminars from Faculty of Economics and Faculty of Education participated in a local event at Takahatadai Danchi in Hino City

On March 20 (Thu.), 22 (Sat.), and 23 (Sun.), 2025, a community event, "Kouminkan" in Takahata-dai Danchi, Hino City, Tokyo, was held with the participation of Teikyo University Faculty of Economics Konno Seminar, Faculty of Education Tazaki Seminar and Ikushima Seminar.
This event was held as a project of the Takahata-dai Branch of the Hino City Central Community Center, with the aim of allowing local residents to "see" and experience the activities of the clubs active at the community center. The event attracted a large number of participants, and students and faculty from each seminar were able to engage in lively exchanges with local residents.
Teikyo University will continue to provide the Practical learning educational opportunities listed on Educational Guidelines.

Activities of each seminar

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 M?lkky, 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.
