Expo 2020 Dubai to offer curated programmes with free entry to all UAE school students

All school students in the UAE, across private and public institutions, will be offered the chance to partake in one of four curated programmes to explore Expo 2020 Dubai.

Entry for these students is free and the organisers have opened the Expo School Programme booking system too.

The four programmes – Legacy of the UAE, World of Opportunities, Sustainable Planet and Universe in Motion – will take place across the Expo’s three Thematic Districts (Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability), as well as across various pavilions showcasing the legacy and future of the UAE, according to the Dubai Media Office.

Reservations, made on the booking system, include entry to Expo 2020, express entry into thematic pavilions, as well as an identification band for students.

The Expo will also grant complimentary access for accompanying adults, with different ratios that depend on the age group of the students attending.
