This presentation was part of the "Service Learning" program, which deepens learning through social contribution activities. The Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters Cyber ​​Crime Countermeasures Division, the Chief of Hyogo Prefectural Hyogo Police Station, etc. gave a lecture on the current state of cyber crime and its methods. In response, students and police officers worked together to create scenarios and props, and after repeated practice, they were able to stage performances on stage in vaudeville theaters and shopping malls.

On the 12th, a professional rakugo performer appeared as the opening act for a crime prevention rakugo, and the audience, mainly the elderly, laughed. It was a valuable experience to receive words of encouragement directly from the audience after the performance.

On the 18th, we participated in a cybercrime prevention campaign at a large shopping mall.At the atrium court, which is crowded with many shoppers, we will raise awareness by distributing flyers and goods, and perform a skit on the stage.19Our activities were introduced in the morning edition of the Nihon Yomiuri Shimbun.

I believe that the participating students were able to have a social experience through direct interaction with incumbent police officers and contact with local residents.
