To say that we are thrilled is an understatement!
For more than a decade, CESWI has been creating meaningful learning experiences through seminars and workshops. But we've always believed that education can take many forms, and that some of the most valuable lessons come from the wisdom passed down through generations.
Today, we're excited to share another milestone in our journey.
CESWI proudly announces the upcoming launch of the book "INAYAN: Culturally Responsive Leadership and the Indigenous Architecture of Restraint" written by Dr. Maria “Malaya” Atitiw Catbagan-Aplaten.
Rooted in the traditions of the Ibontoc and Kankanaey peoples, "INAYAN" explores how indigenous wisdom on moral restraint, integrity, and accountability can offer valuable insights into contemporary leadership, governance, and everyday life.
At a time when younger generations are increasingly exposed to cultures and influences from around the world, this book reminds us that embracing progress doesn't have to mean losing touch with our roots.
For CESWI, publishing "INAYAN" is more than a new undertaking. It is another way of fulfilling our mission to make meaningful education accessible, encourage reflection, and inspire positive change.
