In a nutshell, the Expo2020 is an international exhibition, where each country of the world (well, at least most countries!) have a pavilion, that showcases their culture, tradition, histories and any ambitions they may have for the future. Many countries use this as an opportunity to showcase what their nation has to offer the world, whether that is good food, dance or a look at any future technologies that they are working on, which will in some way or another, contribute to a better future.

The daily schedule at the Dubai Expo2020 site is jam-packed with workshops and events, along with opportunities where businesses and entrepreneurs can come together to network, children can participate in fun activities and you can learn some salsa! There are of course other one-off activities and exciting events, such as musical concerts showcasing talents from the musical world — whether that be talents from the West or the Middle East region. Stars such as Alicia Keys and Nancy Ajram have held magnificent musical shows at the Expo2020 sites’ Al Wasl Plaza, with huge turnouts and successes. For the majority of these events, a separate ticket is not needed, and you can just use your Expo Pass, in order to be a part of these extravaganza events!

But how is the Expo2020 Dubai contributing towards and addressing the more important aspects of life? The pavilions within the Expo2020 are not only for the showcasing of countries of the world and their achievements and contributions to the world, but the Expo2020 site also hosts pavilions that help to promote very important aspects of life, such as sustainability, opportunity and mobility. lets have a look…

Sustainability:

We live in a world that is more and more conscious about the future, about saving the environment and doing well for the planet, so that future generations can continue to prosper in it. With our efforts today, we can help to ensure a healthier planet and environment for tomorrow!

The Expo2020’s Terra Pavilion is set up to showcase how we can all contribute towards a sustainable planet, through the use of solar panels for access to energy, intelligent use of water and gaining inspiration on how we can make changes to help fight climate change!

Mobility:

Mobility is all about the many different ways in which we all connect with each other. At Dubai’s Expo2020, we can discover space missions, the future of vehicles and the different forms of digital connectivity.

The Alif Mobility Pavilion is set up to showcase mobility-related initiatives for us all to enjoy and marvel at! Take a sneak peak into the Mobility Pavilion at Expo2020:

Opportunity:

Opportunities are all about realising aspirations and dreams for not only ourselves, but for future generations! It’s about coming together and bringing ideas into fruition in partnership. Some pavilions of various countries have implemented initiatives to promote the idea of developing opportunities, for example, Monaco have created a Garden of Opportunities in their pavilion within the opportunity District. This is all about opportunities for human development in various different ways as well as the potential that we have. Learn more about the opportunity Pavillion, here:

I hope that you get to visit the incredible Dubai Expo2020 and learn as much as I did from the amazing experiences there!
