For this project, we studied the concept of Sankofa, which is learning from the past, to create a better and more just future. For the individual part of the project, I studied the dirty war in Argentina. I then wrote a short story from the perspective of a woman living in Buenos Aires(the capital city) during the war. By writing this story, I was able to better understand what it was like to live through wars, and other tragic events, and it made me want to prevent those events from happening in the future.
