The Office of Hawaiian Education (OHE) in partnership with Windward Oʻahu schools and Community invite you to join us for the 2nd annual Nā Hopena Aʻo (HĀ) summit 

Mahalo to all that joined us for the HĀ Summit. You can find valuable resources from the Summit through the HĀ Newsletter here and a link to the video from March 9th here. 

The HĀ Summit is open to education stakeholders who are committed to strengthening BREATH. It will provide an opportunity to EXPERIENCE HĀ, build a COLLECTIVE understanding of the framework, SHARE knowledge and resources to support effective use, and CONNECT to a network of practitioners.

  2. Be able to articulate what HĀ means in various contexts and why it matters;
  3. Build cultural awareness and knowledge of Native Hawaiian values, approaches, and places of significance;
  4. Determine ways to apply HĀ school-, complex-, office- or community-wide and support education stakeholders to incorporate HĀ;
  5. Develop relationships with education stakeholders from across the state, share knowledge and resources, and build a network of practitioners to support a strengthened sense of belonging to the HĀ movement;
  6. Build a sense of responsibility to provide HĀwesome experiences; and
  7. Plug into their passion and feel inspired and rejuvenated.
