Global Learning Opportunity in Hawaii

Did you know there is a new Summer Abroad opportunity in Hawaii?

He Waa He Moku, He Moku He Waa “Our Canoe is Our Island, Our Island is Our Canoe”

In this unique summer abroad experience, funded by Global Skills Opportunity Canada, students will explore the Six Nations of the Grand River. Through land-and-culture experiences, students will have the opportunity to learn about the interconnected nature of Haudenosaunee ways of knowing, being, and doing, expressed through worldview, histories, language, stories, and cultural practices. Students will embark on a four-night pre-departure camping experience in Ohsweken, Ontario, followed by a two-week immersive experience on the beautiful island of Hawaii.

RSVP to join one of the information sessions: 

  • Friday, March 3 from 1 p.m. - 2 p.m.

This is a fully funded experience for eligible and approved students. Please view the program information.
