ʻĀina Based Education
Education in Culture & ʻĀina
Education is the cornerstone of Lāna‘i Culture & Heritage Center’s work. The museum serves as a cultural classroom, welcomes school field trips and offers educational programs for organizations from across the state.
It also partners with Lāna‘i Elementary & High School to bring its cultural programs to their classrooms. The center’s educators creatively integrate cultural themes and concepts into a variety of subjects that students are studying such as art, history and science, technology and math.
Without Lāna‘i Culture & Heritage Center’s community education programs, the island’s story would become lost. The center is the only institution that is singulary devoted to ensuring that the island’s story transcends time.
The center has immortalized many of its island voice’s and story tellers as part of its digitization efforts that includes audio recordings and video collection, which educates young and old on YouTube.
