Do you want to be part of a transformational experience that fuels your commitment to creating equitable, sustainable solutions for a more just and peaceful world?

Would you like to deepen your understanding of sustainability concepts while having fun and meeting new friends from around the world?

Then join Hawai‘i and international youth for Huaka‘i Hawai‘i - a short course in collaboration with the SOL Center. This is an intense two-week online exploration of climate change impacts and solutions for food and energy security on the most isolated land mass in the world. Through the unique history, environment, and cultural wisdom of Hawai‘i we will explore traditional and modern approaches to systems thinking and strategic planning for innovative, values-based solutions for a more equitable and peaceful world.

You will be encouraged and supported to create and share local action projects while exploring how your own regional and cultural wisdom may be just the knowledge that others need. Five one-hour on-line presentations will each be augmented by one hour on-line facilitated small group discussions, selected off-line reading, and creative project sharing.

Join us for two exciting weeks of knowledge building, cross-cultural collaboration and fun creating solutions with international peers on the world’s greatest challenge. E komo mai – we welcome you into this experience!
