100 People: A World Portrait

This is the truly global project that asks the children of the world to introduce us to the people of the world. We’ve seen videos and resources that ask the question, “if there were only 100 people in the world, what would it look like?” This takes that idea of making demographic statistics more meaningful one step further by asking student in schools for around the world to nominate some “representative people” and share their stories. The site houses videos, galleries from each continent and analyze themes that all societies must deal with. This site that looks at the people and places on out planet to promote greater appreciation of cultural diversity and understanding is a great find.
