Event Objectives
(1) We recognize our kaiāulu is richly diverse, but our foundation is Hawaiian. Because of this, (2) we hope to leave participants with an illustration of what a worldview rooted in aloha ʻāina looks like and how it could come to inform everyday sustainable decision making.
Background
In partnership with the UN CIFAL Honolulu center here on campus, the Chaminade garden intends to illustrate a number of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) throughout the event. This will encourage participants to integrate SDG considerations into their own lives, thus pushing us forward towards a more sustainable future.
Content and Structure
The gardening staff played a game with the 5th graders called “Plant buddies and taught the 5th graders about the circular system and made a kilo board. Students then got to work in garden.
Methodology
For this event we hope participants find that service to our ʻāina is service to a more just and peaceful world; that our piliina with ʻāina is not separate, but integral to our respect for the integrity of creation.
Targeted Audience
5th grade students
