2015 Line-up

Our Locals Team will be hosting several interactive activities to inspire creativity, gather wisdom, motivate action and leave participants with next steps. Our team will be available throughout the day to share and take questions. Please come!
12-2pm: Design for Change – A creative collaboration whereby a group of people will be guided to identify ‘hot spots’ and ‘bright spots’ in their community, imagine best-case scenarios and then be guided through a process of brainstorming how to reach those goals. As patterns emerge, groups are identified to focus on certain areas and support movement forward.
3:30-5:30pm: Pro-Action Café – A fun facilitated process by which we will circulate 20 to 30 people in the tent to help focus and brainstorm project ideas from our local community leaders. Each group leader should walk out of the room with many ideas, contacts and next actionable steps.
Open Space Activities: all day
Maui Map Activity: A table-sized map of Maui will be available throughout the day to write, draw and mark up with our community’s mana’o. We are looking for people who know of streams that have dried up, endemic and/or invasive plants hidden in valleys…any collective wisdom we can gather to help us better care for our island!
Acoustic Hawai’ian Style Music: Maui’s own Pat Simmons Jr. will be gracing the “Locals” tent with ukulele, guitar and original vocals throughout the day.
Living Compass, Maui’s most exciting new school for Earth Centered education and sustainable living will be demonstrating a few of the skills they teach their students: cordage making, fire by friction and palm leaf creations.
Gratitude Tree: We have created a gratitude tree where people can share their favorite memories, success stories and high points from Maui’s own People’s Movement in honor of one of our tools called Appreciate Inquiry.
Aloha ‘Āina Power Corner is where you can find the most important and current issues, sign petitions, write letters or testimony or find out who to call regarding specific issues. Learn what’s happening on Maui and make your voice heard!
