00:00The Expo 2020 Visitor Center is now open to students across the UAE and offers a variety
00:09of engaging and educational experiences.
00:12Students learn about World Expos, Expo 2020 Dubai, the importance of Expo 2020 Dubai for
00:17the UAE and for the region.
00:19They also learn about sub-themes, our sub-themes which are opportunity, mobility and sustainability
00:24and then they also have an opportunity to be part of a workshop.
00:27So in this workshop we look into topics or sub-themes which are sub-themes at Expo 2020
00:33but we do that in a manner that is very much fun, exciting and easy for students to understand.
00:41Upon entering, the students will be ushered through an educational tunnel-like structure
00:45designed to increase the students' knowledge about the history of the region and the importance
00:48of Expo to both the UAE and the world.
00:52From there, students can visit the rest of the first floor which exhibits the principles
00:55of the UAE's Expo 2020 theme, Connecting Minds, Creating the Future, as well as its
01:00sub-themes, Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability.
01:04So I'm here to see what's going to be in the actual Expo 2020 like what are the three pillars
01:11going to be about.
01:12I learned that they're going to be about the sustainability, about the mobility and opportunities.
01:19Now this Expo is really important because it's about bringing people together because
01:24when we're together we can make the future which is basically what the Expo is about.
01:30Students will also have the chance to watch an incredible fly-through film in a special
01:34room with a huge curved screen, sort of like a mini IMAX set-up in which the audience will
01:39feel as though they're actually in the movie.
01:41After exploring all the areas scattered around the first floor, the students can head upstairs
01:45to take part in educational activities like arts and crafts and a special tinkering room
01:49which is really interesting as these students were creating a special track with different
01:53colored markers that will guide an automated ball-shaped robot around and stop, change
01:57direction or keep on going depending on the color used.
02:01The Expo 2020 Visitor Center and indeed Expo 2020 itself offers a very unique and special
02:06chance for students to really broaden their knowledge of the world and its different customs
02:10and cultures, as well as showing the world the customs and culture of the UAE.
02:14We had a great exposure to Expo 2020, it was a great experience because I didn't have this
02:19great exposure before.
02:20We learned about many different things, we learned about sustainability, we learned about
02:24mobility, we learned about opportunities and we learned the sectors of Expo 2020 and what
02:30exactly actually Expo 2020 looks like and it was really fun, we had a lot of fun and
02:37the session is still going on and I'm looking forward to more opportunities like this.
02:41The Visitor Center, curated as part of the Expo school program, has already attracted
02:45its substantial interest from across the UAE and has welcomed more than 1,000 public
02:50and private school students during its soft opening.
