Inspired by days of rest, Adae, of the Akan people, during which knowledge was passed on from the older generation to the next.

In order to support the creation of an ecosystem that can support the leadership and sustainability of existing institutions, as well as the creation of new cultural institutions, ANO has created the Fellowship, in the areas of curation, research and communications.

Shaping our living knowledge systems by reimagining food and education systems based on indigenous and local knowledge and land-use practices.

We believe that education must be experiential, must nurture interdependence, and must enable all members of each generation to develop the judgment necessary to take responsibility for: the conduct of their lives, the shaping of their societies, and their participation in global issues.
