Introduction: Health disparities within the Native Hawaiian community have been well-documented for many years.
Methods: Innovative, culturally relevant, and community-generated approaches are required to truly change the trajectory and impact of chronic illnesses for Native Hawaiians. This article describes the experiences of residents from Wai'anae and Waimānalo who were trained in a process called Building the Beloved Community, and facilitated group sessions for a community-based participatory research (CBPR) project around 'ai pono (eating healthy), seeking to understand Native Hawaiian community residents' perceptions of current and historical influences on eating. Community facilitators and observers engaged 40 residents to better understand peoples' life experiences around food.
Results: The community facilitators identified key principles derived from their training and facilitation experience, important elements for effective discussion circles, and the transformative outcomes experienced by all involved.
Conclusions: By sharing these experiences, they hope to encourage use of a similar process to promote lifestyle changes in communities.

The aim of this work is to reflect on the challenging trajectory of international cooperation between East Timor and Brazil, which focused on the need to rethink teacher education from a critical intercultural perspective, aiming to build emancipatory relations, love, and solidarity. From 2009 until 2016, we coordinated the Qualification of Teachers and Teaching of the Portuguese Language program in East Timor, inspired by the dialogicity of Paulo Freire, an educator well known and beloved by the Timorese people for his indirect contribution to the independence of that country. Freire's dialectic denunciation-annunciation was essential to identify the problems and propose solutions the Timorese and not only them.
