兵庫県警察本部生活安全部少年課西宮少年サポートセンターと甲子園警察署が取り組む「不登校生徒の居場所づくり支援」の一環。年々、増加している不登校生徒に対し、継続的な支援活動を求める声を受け、「中学校に教室とは別の居場所を作ろう」と、昨年から甲子園警察署管内で大学生ボランティアを募集。今年度は武庫川女子大学に協力を呼び掛けました。

 

12日の委嘱式には武庫川女子大学から心理・社会福祉学部の安藤明人学部長、心理学科の小花和W.尚子学科長、ボランティア登録をした心理・社会福祉学科の学生14人が参加。甲子園警察署の担当者が「年齢の近い大学生と接することで不登校の生徒が学校に来るきっかけになり、大学生にも良い経験になってほしい」と期待を述べ、学生一人ひとりに委嘱状を手渡しました。

 

学生たちは「積極的に参加し、子どもたちとコミュニケーションを取れるように頑張りたい」などと意気込みを語りました。

 

活動は6月19日からスタート。不登校生徒のサポートを希望する中学校に学生が交代で出向き、登校してきた生徒と一緒に2時間程度、創作活動などを行って過ごします。

 

A volunteer commissioning ceremony was held by the Nishinomiya Juvenile Support Centre of the Hyogo Prefectural Police and the Koshien Police Station for students of the University's Psychology Department.

At the invitation of the Nishinomiya Juvenile Support Center of the Hyogo Prefectural Police Department and the Koshien Police Station, which are working to create a place for truant students, 27 2nd to 4th year students of the Psychology Course* of the School of Psychology and Social Welfare will volunteer to support students. The commissioning ceremony was held on June 12 at the Global Studio of the Central Library. *Reorganized into the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Social Welfare in April 2023.

 

This is part of the "Support for creating a place for unschooled students" project undertaken by the Nishinomiya Juvenile Support Center, Juvenile Division, Health and Safety Department, Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters, and the Koshien Police Station. In response to calls for continuous support activities for the increasing number of out-of-school students each year, the center has been recruiting university student volunteers in the Koshien Police Station area since last year, with the aim of "creating a place for truant students in junior high schools outside the classroom.""This year, the center is recruiting volunteers from Mukogawa Women's University and the Koshien Police Station. This year, Mukogawa Women's University was invited to join the project.

 

 The commissioning ceremony on December 12 was attended by Akito Ando, Dean of the School of Psychology and Social Welfare, Naoko W. Obanawa, Chair of the Psychology Department, and 14 students from the Psychology and Social Welfare who registered as volunteers from Mukogawa Women's University. A representative from the Koshien Police Station handed each student a letter of commission, expressing his hope that "having contact with university students who are close in age will encourage the students to come to school and provide a good experience for university students as well."

 

The students expressed their enthusiasm, saying that they would like to participate actively and do their best to communicate with the children.

 

The activities will start on June 19. The students will take turns visiting junior high schools that wish to support students in need and spend about two hours with them when they come to school, doing creative activities and so on.
