Kicking off on 3 October, Expo 2020 Dubai’s Programme for People and Planet will run for six months. It will be anchored by 10 themed weeks and 18 international days that will bring together governments, businesses and young people to explore global challenges and find solutions.
The schedule will include about 220 activities, from forums and public conventions to lectures and workshops. The World Majlis series will play a key role, with 53 different sessions underpinned by the expo’s sub-themes of opportunity, mobility and sustainability.
