Recruits to a new Rhode Island militia regiment undergo the intense training in preparation for service in the Siege of Boston.
CONNECTING THE WORLD AS NEVER BEFORE
Not only is Anthro International committed to teaching a global audience, but we are also committed to teaching our audience about the globe. At over 60% of the human population, Asian history is almost entirely left out of most textbooks and is rarely depicted in historical films. We not only aim to teach a world-wide audience, but to teach them about the world we all share.
TELLING STORIES THAT SPARK CHANGE
Since our earliest ancestors first harnessed the power of fire, storytelling has been a unique component of the human experience- with stories inspiring us to work harder and reach higher. In a world defined more by what people believe to be true than what is actually true, it has always been important to create stories that give us a purpose to believe in- that there is more that unites us than divides us and that there is always hope that a better world is possible. That is why Anthro International is dedicated to creating stories that inspire hope and meaningful learning that can bring us all closer together.
| Representation Matters Here
Over 60% of the world's (human) population lives in Asia and the Pacific and nearly 20% live in Africa- yet Asian and African history account for only a tiny fraction of information in world history textbooks, online videos, and historical magazines. Our approach is to educate the world with a representational approach- focusing on creating education materials that reflect the world we live in with an emphasis on a truly global history that does not leave the most populated corners of the globe on the sidelines to promote only a fraction of our species and its history.
Not only does Asia as a continent account for over 60% of the world's population, it also accounts for over 38% of global wealth while Europe's population accounts for 10% of the world's population and 23% of global welath and North America accounts for less than ten percent of the world's population and roughly 33% of global wealth. That's why a big part of what we do is focused on creating educational materials about the globe primarily to audiences in North America, Europe, and Asia & the Pacific.
