Are Navigating Change videos available on DVD?

Asked by Renee on May 15, 2006.
Are you putting videos on DVDs?? If so how can I place an order- I will be teaching at Kamehameha this summer.

Answered by Dan from University of Hawaii on Jul 12, 2006.
The videos are on DVD as part of the Navigating Change curriculum. You need to attend a Navigating Change workshop to get the curriculum. But you may download the videos from this site at http://www.hawaiiatolls.org/teachers/NavChange.php and burn DVDs yourself. You can also get other videos on the 2002 expedition at http://www.hawaiiatolls.org/video/index.php
Sorry about the delay in replying; we've fallen behind on some of the questions.
