尼崎市で子ども食堂のサポートに取り組んでいる教育学部、文学部、食物栄養科学部合同ゼミの学生らが10月1日、第52回尼崎市民まつりに参加しました。

 

合同ゼミは、2018年から尼崎市元浜町の子ども食堂「モコモコ俱楽部」の運営をサポートしており、食堂を訪れる子どもたちに漢字と食物を組み合わせた「美味しい漢字教室」を開催しています。今回の市民まつりでは「こどもひろば」に隣接して設けられた「学生ひろば」で子ども食堂での活動を紹介し、「美味しい漢字教室」を再現。約100組の親子が参加し、食に関する漢字クイズや塗り絵を楽しみました。

 

また、子どもたちに多様な文化に興味を持ってもらおうと地元尼崎市内のスパイスカレー屋さんを取材して作成したオリジナルマップを配布。マップには、学生が考案し、子ども食堂でも人気のカレーのレシピも掲載されており、参加者が次々に手に取っていました。

 

指導する教育学科の吉井美奈子准教授は「多様なルーツを持つ人や子ども達がいることを知るきっかけになってほしい」と話しています。

 

Students from the joint seminar of the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Letters, and the Faculty of Food Sciences and Nutrition, which is working to support a children's cafeteria in Amagasaki, participated in the 52nd Amagasaki Community Festival on October 1st.

 The joint seminar has been supporting the running of the children's cafeteria "Mokomoko Club" in Motohama-cho, Amagasaki City since 2018, offering a "Delicious Kanji Class" combining kanji characters and food to children visiting the cafeteria. At this year's ' Festival, activities at the children's cafeteria were introduced at the "Student Plaza," which was set up alongside the "Kodomo Hiroba," and the "Delicious Kanji Class" was reenacted. Approximately 100 sets of parents and children participated in the event and enjoyed a kanji quiz and coloring pictures related to food.

 In addition, an original map created by covering spice curry shops in the local Amagasaki city was distributed to the children to encourage their interest in diverse cultures. The map also included a recipe for curry, which was created by the students and is popular at the children's cafeteria, and participants picked it up one after another.

Associate Professor Minako Yoshii of the Department of Education, who is leading the event, said, "I hope events like these will help people come to realize that there are people and children with diverse roots."
