Hamana Yamate Gakuin Educational Foundation 100th Anniversary Commemorative Business Fund Request for Donation

Hamana Yamate Gakuin, a school corporation merged in 2020, will celebrate its 2024th anniversary in 100, counting from the start of Yamate Gakushuin.

I believe that Yamate Gakushuin, which was established as a place for further learning for local girls, played a major role in opening up new possibilities for children at the time.For the corporate merger, while respecting and inheriting the founding spirit of each kindergarten, we newly established the "Hamana Yamate Gakuin Educational Mission" as a mission statement that encompasses the educational activities of the entire academy.In a world that is undergoing major changes due to globalization and the development of science and technology, the school as a whole expresses its intention to develop an education that will send out people who can continue to learn proactively and actively to the world.

Currently, the university and each kindergarten established by the academy are in a severe business environment, including population decline, and society is undergoing major changes due to the progress of globalization and digital transformation technology (DX). In order to respond appropriately to these changes, we are promoting reforms in educational content, educational methods, and educational evaluation, and are developing fulfilling educational activities.However, we are still halfway through, and I feel that we must continue to strengthen our educational activities.

Students learn the 3 C's of communication (receiving, transmitting, and adjusting information), consideration (consideration, consideration, and consideration for others), and commitment (participation, participation, and contribution), and decide their own lives. Realize learning that can be opened up.Looking ahead to the next 100 years, all faculty and staff members will work together to further develop this kind of education.

Kansai University of International Studies will also celebrate its 2023th anniversary in 25. In addition to cooperation agreements with 14 universities in 73 countries and regions, cooperation with local governments and companies such as Kobe City, Amagasaki City, and Miki City, We are steadily improving our education and research, such as being selected by the Ministry of Science for the “University Global Expansion Project”.

We sincerely ask for your understanding and support for our educational activities for the future of the academy.

This time, in order to promote various projects for the 100th anniversary of our founding, to dramatically develop educational activities at the universities and schools established by the school, and to fund the expansion of the scholarship program, according to the attached requirements, We are soliciting the above donations, so we would like to ask for your special cooperation.

History of Hamana Yamate Academy

School Juridical Person Kobe Yamate Gakuen and School Juridical Person Hamana Gakuin

Kobe Yamate Gakuen Educational Corporation merged with Hamana Gakuin Educational Corporation in April 2020 to become Hamana Yamate Gakuin Educational Corporation. Yamate Gakushuin (the predecessor of Kobe Yamate Gakuen) was founded in 2 at the foot of Mt. Suwa in Kobe. Since then, it has been handed down from generation to generation as an educational mission and an immutable educational spirit.

Approximately 100 years ago, in the late Taisho era, Japan began to accept the economic and cultural gap with other countries as a reality.People at the forefront of society were more than a little shocked by this fact, and they tried hard and single-mindedly to learn something, repeating trial and error toward an unseen future.This trend was particularly noticeable in the field of education.It was also around this time that the number of those who wanted to go on to higher education, especially among girls who were not blessed with the opportunity to attend school, continued to increase remarkably.

At that time, the number of girls' schools was so small that the reality was that many girls, with a strong desire to learn, gave up on going on to higher education and graduated from elementary school.There was a person who strongly felt the pain of this reality.At that time, he was Seizo Sugino, who was the principal of Kobe Municipal Yamate Elementary School. "I want to somehow nurture their precious love of learning. Isn't it possible to establish a girls' school in this area?" Sugino's thoughts were earnest.The wedding ceremony of His Imperial Highness the Higashi Imperial Palace (Emperor Showa) was to be held.Sugino decided that it would be a good opportunity to establish a girls' school, and proposed the establishment of Kobe Yamate Girls' High School as a commemorative project for her marriage.・・・・

[Excerpt from Kobe Yamate Gakuen Educational Foundation “70 Years Trajectory”]

Hamana Gakuin received a request from the city of Amagasaki in 1950 (Showa 25), when Misao Hamana, who was the chairman of the women's federation of Amagasaki City, was in the midst of the chaos after the war, which was reduced to ashes. It originated from Ainosono Kindergarten, which was established in Amagasaki City with private funds, based on the belief that it is especially useful in early childhood education.Then, in the kindergarten management, it is essential to train excellent teachers, so he opened a teacher training center at the same kindergarten.After that, the training center developed from Kansai Jogakuin to Kansai Jogakuin Childcare College and Kansai Childcare and Welfare College. We have been working on new initiatives ahead of theIn 1987, Kansai Jogakuin Junior College was established in Miki City, and in 62, Kansai University of International Studies was opened in the same city. bottom.Kansai International University's numerous pioneering initiatives in education have been highly acclaimed nationwide since its inception. It is located in Iaiien (a garden made with love). Hamana Gakuin's message is to ``be a kindergarten full of love for education that is as strong as the love of parents for children, and that the children who learn there should develop compassion for and acceptance of others.'' This is the starting point for consistent education.

In order to realize our educational mission, we will carry out various commemorative projects to further expand the globalization of the entire school, and above all, we will create an environment where students can learn freely.

We would like to ask for your continued support as Hamana Yamate Gakuin continues to develop on the occasion of its 100th anniversary.
