Being Responsible for 1.2 Billion People

21 Mar 2019

—

25min.

There are approximately 1.2 billion people learning a new language, and the majority are doing so in pursuit of a better life. As part of our mission to make education free for everyone, we studied the behavior of over 120 million learners spanning every country on the planet – until we made an unexpected research discovery that led us on a journey around the world and throughout the Middle East, forever changing the way we think about technology and education. The footage from our journey was later turned into an eye-opening documentary called Something Like Home, which has been seen by over a million people and promoted by the United Nation’s refugee council.
