The Finding Joy in Adolescence project necessarily entails applying resources on joy from across periods of time in planned experiences with adolescents. In this curriculum guide, we present a Sankofa pedagogy for use with adolescents. At its core, the curriculum emphasizes connecting adolescents with resources on joy from the past reflecting an understanding of the West African Akan tribal view of moving forward while looking back. This view is captured in the symbol of the Sankofa Bird, which literally means to “go back and retrieve” or, as the symbol below indicates, it embodies the idea of going back for that which has been forgotten.
