Collaboration
Since the inception of The Middle Way Institute in the Philippines in 2013 to its current Headquarter in New York City, USA, we always thrive from collaborations. From the ground-breaking collaboration with Archbishop Lagdameo in Iloilo, Philippines to introduce The Middle Way Education to more than 13,000 Filipinos on May 24, 2013, to the global collaborations with various NGOs, faith-based institutions and governmental agencies in 6 continents for the first Global Light of Peace on September 5, 2017, The Middle Way Institute believes in the power of working together for the greater good of humanity. Since the hope for Holistic Humanity is a grand vision that can not be done alone by any particular organization, do not hesitate to reach out to The Middle Way Institute if you think we can enhance each other to accelerate the transformation of humanity. These are some of our collaborations since 2013 and we wish for more collaborations to come.
