We Believe in The Power of Communication
Mīkolelehua Storytelling Center is...
a creative incubator and ʻŌiwi Edge Research & Design (R&D) space where, using the Alaukawai system, haumāna co-design the future of ʻōiwi storytelling and contribute to the evolution of our Kula, Kamehameha Hawaiʻi.
An ʻAe Kai to Kahiki
R&D collaboratory...
More than a collection of workshops and classes, Mīkolelehua functions as a living lab that centers haumāna voice within a collective effort among haumāna, hoakumu, and industry experts to navigate an ever-evolving creative media landscape and imagine new models of ʻŌiwi Edge learning.
A talent pipeline into Hawaiʻi's creative media industry
Here, haumāna develop the relationships, skills, confidence, and portfolios that make them market-ready—equipped to thrive within the economic, political, and technological forces shaping Hawaiʻi’s creative media industry.
In honor of the great kākāʻōlelo—trusted orators who carried the words, genealogies, and visions of our people—the name Mīkolelehua aspires to their eloquence, discipline, and discernment, embodying the power of moʻolelo to shape identity, reclaim narratives, and forge thriving futures for ʻohana, ʻāina, and lāhui.
