CIFAL Honolulu - Aloha ‘Āina Kalaepohaku
Aloha ʻĀina Kalaepōhaku will bring together kaiāulu to mālama from mauka to makai. With a focus on Aloha ʻĀina as the vehicle to educate on sustainability, our event will involve hands-on service and experiential learning by way of existing projects within the campus māla, pālolo stream, and invasive limu removal at Ka'alawai beach . Aloha ʻĀina Kalaepōhaku will also feature prominent figures as speakers and workshop/breakout session leaders after morning service activities are complete. Each session will continue to engage attendees with an experiential approach, connecting ʻolelo and ʻāina with attendees from many learning styles through topics such as ʻōlelo immersion, lauhala weaving, navigation as away of creating lōkahi, STEM ʻāina based activities for keiki, limu propagation, etc. We will also partner with local food vendors and utilize sustainable event waste management techniques to limit our impact at each portion of the event. We envision a day long event that brings aloha ʻāina to the forefront of our individual and collective lives.
