Expo 2020 Dubai: Over 220 events to inspire you to make a change for the planet

Expo 2020 Dubai on Monday revealed a calendar of more than 220 events and experiences through which every visitor could be an ‘agent of change’ — for people and the planet.

Running across the entire six months of the mega event, the campaign called Programme for People and the Planet will turn the spotlight on the challenges and opportunities facing all 7.8 billion people living on this planet.

It is a programme that will spark ‘a movement’ that will shape the legacy of Expo 2020 Dubai and create meaningful impact for generations to come, said Nadia Verjee, chief of staff of the Expo.

Through thought-leadership, conversations, workshops and even some fun and games, big questions shall be asked and solutions will be sought: How can we help the Earth heal? What can be done to address biodiversity loss? How can we make human habitats be more sustainable? How do we ensure every single person gets access to education and healthcare?

The programme will demonstrate that each and every one of Expo 2020’s partners, participants and visitors can — and must — become an agent of change.

“Sitting at the heart of our World Expo, and taking place at a moment in time that could not be more urgent or opportune, the Programme for People and Planet is the manifestation of our theme and purpose, ‘Connecting Minds, Creating The Future’,” Verjee said.

Visitors to Expo 2020 will also be able to explore the topics raised in the Programme for People and Planet by embarking on a curated visitor journey.

These self-guided tours will be available on the Expo 2020 app and will allow visitors to discover the different ways in which countries, businesses and other organisations are responding to the key challenges the global community is facing.
