Hawaiʻi Council for the Humanities, in partnership with Value of Hawaiʻi: Hulihia, is hosting deep-dive community conversations on our ideas, wonderings, hopes, and challenges for our post-pandemic futures. Small groups of very diverse voices from across our islands will tackle different topics together, and spend time listening, sharing, imagining, and building new connections.

Wednesday July  14 – 6:00-7:30pm HST
