Facebook Global Trends - Education and Action

2020 was the catalyst that drove education from home, whether through remote working or homeschooling, there was a need to use technology to continue our collective advancement.

In many ways, this was also used to move forward causes we cared about — the most active of the year being the (BLM) Black Lives Matter cause.

We see this as a growing trend in 2021, where individuals collectively unite online to drive agendas forward and reach new audiences. Think GameStop, but surely there will be more to come in 2021.

The following Infographic covers education and action in the US, Australia, and Brazil. It highlights both the trend line and demographic, with a small synopsis below.
