The 6th Annual Hawai‘i Island School Garden Network Summer Symposium, "School Learning Gardens and Sustainability Education: Bringing Schools to Life and Life to Schools," will be held June 7-8, 2013, at the Gates Performing Arts Center at Hawai‘i Preparatory Academy (HPA) and Māla‘ai: The Culinary Garden of Waimea Middle School. School garden teachers, classroom teachers, administrators, staff, volunteers, and interested community members are invited to attend.

She has studied the effects of ecological education on academic achievement and social skills acquisition for more than 20 years. Dilafruz also served as Chair of the Board of the Council of Great City Schools, comprising 66 of the nation’s largest school districts. She has distinguished herself in many areas including sustainability education, environmental education, learning gardens, garden-based education research, K-12 leadership and policy, diversity, social justice, service-learning, and community-university-school strategic partnerships. She will also be serving as one of the mentors for the second cohort of Kū ‘Āina Pā.

AGENDA »Download the full Agenda(PDF, 229K)« Friday will consist of two keynote addresses and 12-15 breakout sessions. Friday evening will feature the West Hawai‘i premiere of the documentary Nā Kupu Mana‘olana - Seeds of Hope, Danny Miller’s new film on Hawai‘i’s agriculturural history and promise. Saturday will begin with a buffet breakfast and orientation at the Gates Auditorium, followed by tours of up to six school gardens in the Waimea area, and culminating in a special garden luncheon at Māla‘ai with Slow Food Hawai‘i. The Symposium will conclude after lunch on Saturday, June 8, at approximately 2:30 p.m.
The first cohort of Kū ‘Āina Pā will present their year-long action research projects at the Symposium. The class of 26 teachers from Hawai‘i Island has been working individually and together to deepen their knowledge and skills in the art of teaching in school learning gardens. The cohort will present on subjects of interest that integrate core curriculum and learning in the outdoor school garden classroom, providing these teacher-leaders the opportunity to present their work to other teacher-leaders.

The Conference is in the Waimea (also referred to as Kamuela) area in the north-central part of Hawai‘i Island (map). Driving Time from the Kona Airport to Waimea is about one hour. Registration and breakfast will be from 7:30-8:30 a.m. on Friday, June 7, so registrants are encouraged to arrive on Thursday and stay overnight. We will finish on Saturday, June 8, in time to drive to the airport and catch late afternoon flights.

A limited number of dorm rooms is also available at HPA for a reasonable cost. Click here for a list of suggested accommodations.
We hope you will be able to join us for this unique and inspiring weekend. This will be the final presentation for the first Kū ‘Āina Pā, and no doubt will reflect the amazing work they have all accomplished this year, pioneering the new field of sustainability education.
Founded in the year 2000, The Kohala Center is an independent, community-based center for research, conservation, and education. We turn research and ancestral knowledge into action, so that communities in Hawai‘i and around the world can thrive—ecologically, economically, culturally, and socially. Our main areas of interest are energy self-reliance, food self-reliance, and ecosystem health.
