Participate in the CBHV Project
The current Phase 3 is a two-year project, funded by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA), that will build on the previous two CBHV development phases. It involves the creation of a pilot web-based interface that serves to connect visitors and host communities. Key elements of this interface include a curriculum to educate visitors, a process to screen them, and a way for hosts to invite visitors to share whatever cultural experience they might be offering.
As one project participant noted, “it’s like a visa process to visit the real Hawai’i!”
The current project activities include a series of community meetings throughout Hawaii to share ideas about the development of the model and the web-based interface that will link hosts and visitors, along with conversations with specific community initiatives whose members have expressed interest in being part of the pilot project.
If you would like to invite the Pasifika Foundation Hawai’i CBHV team to meet with your community, or if you’d like to participate in any way in this ongoing project, please contact us (choose all that apply):
