However, it is very different from the cultural festivals on domestic campuses:
Japanese Academy Festival is closer to "student's sacrifice" than "school's sacrifice", and students have more control and freedom. The "Academy Festival Executive Committee" organized by students enjoys great autonomy in organizing and managing Academy Festival activities.
In addition, the college festival is open to the public, and participants are not only students, but also nearby residents. Old people, middle-aged people with wives and belts, energetic young people, and young children who look around enthusiastically ..... are crowded with people and full of festive atmosphere.
The Academy Festival emphasizes the interaction between the two sides, rather than the one-way performance and appreciation of the campus cultural festival. The form of the Academy Festival is also rich and varied, with strong participation. Art exhibition, mock trial, concert, lecture (Nissan's design strategy and future), blood donation corner, various simulation shops, exhibitions and instant sales meetings of the Institute of Medicinal Plants (the Department of Pharmacy of Hokuriku University is strong), product exhibition in Iwauchimachi, Hokkaido, square stage performance (Taekwondo, Okinawa folk songs, Taigu, riding skills, KITA dancers, street dance, guessing), and alcohol suitability test. ......
This kind of activity is a major event in the school. However, there was no chaotic scene. Even if it rains on the first day, everything is going on in an orderly way. At the same time, there is no such scene of garbage rampage (all kinds of simulated snack bars will theoretically cause garbage rampage), and the principle of garbage classification (combustible garbage and nonflammable garbage) has been well implemented, so all garbage stays where it belongs and has no chance to come out.
In terms of transportation, on the day of the Academy Festival, every half hour or so, the school has a special car to pick up and drop off students free of charge, and the road section is the school's Zhijinze Station (a large comprehensive station with buses and JR (Japan Railway) extending in all directions), which is very convenient.
In addition, a China student studying in Japan described the activities of their school:
Free barbecue under cherry blossoms
Medical King Mountain Camping: On July 2nd, the mountain was high and the night sky no longer seemed so far away. There are so many stars, so bright, I can't help thinking of Ba Jin's Stars, and I am deeply touched. Ignoring the discomfort of sleeping on the floor and the intrusion of uninvited mosquitoes, we will never forget this night: breathing exceptionally fresh air, feeling the unique smell of soil all over the body, and listening to the unique rhythm of nature that the city can't appreciate.
Million Stone Parade: The drizzle can't stop the parade. Teachers and students dressed in festive costumes, waving fans, shouting slogans that I don't know why, conveying the same feelings across languages and integrating into the joyful atmosphere of this grand festival.
Summer study tour: On September 8th and 9th, I took a trip to Nagoya, Aichi, and visited Ocean Aquarium, Toyota Science and Technology Museum and World Expo.
School sports meeting: September, fun sports meeting, free lunch and generous prizes. But unfortunately, the continuous drizzle in Kanazawa prompted me to give up my plan to go out and be absent.
Hokuriku University Academy Festival: 65438+1October 8 and 9, the campus culture festival in Japan, the protagonist of this solstice.

Yamato people emphasize collectivism values, tend to look at life from collective morality, formulate codes of conduct, and highlight group consciousness. People have a strong sense of helping each other in the same boat, which is the effect of moral education. Moral education in Japan emphasizes the principle of cooperative collectivism, and pays attention to cultivating and bringing up the spirit of survival and group glory. Collectivism values education is embodied in all aspects. For example, there is a moral education content of "about the collective and society" in the moral education syllabus of primary and secondary schools (from lower grades to higher grades, specific teaching points are formulated step by step, and education is carried out in "moral time" through various ways such as explanation, discussion and debate. It also permeates the teaching and special activities of other social disciplines (similar to the second classroom in China), student union activities, community activities and school-wide activities (such as National Day, school celebrations, cultural sacrifices, concerts, school sports meetings, etc.). ), even in the "student code" embodies the moral education concept of collectivism. For example, in the student code of Kobe Takazuka High School in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, the dress code (down to the color of shoes and socks, the time of school uniform replacement, the color of sweaters, etc.) is stipulated.
In some schools, the annual sports meeting is almost entirely organized by students themselves, and the school holds "cultural festivals" from time to time, and the preparatory work can last for months. This process can help students improve their independence and initiative. The ultimate sign of students' self-reliance is to call the hospital when they are injured. They also help clean the classroom after school every day.
