What is Ashesi’s culture? What decisions do we make, and how do we act every day? How will the Ashesi Community help transform Africa? Our answer --a set of guidelines for decision making and behaviour -- is grounded in Ashesi’s founding principles. We call it The Ashesi Way. It is based on the fundamental premise that our daily actions will make all the difference in reaching the end that we seek -- that the means determine the quality of the end.
