Created by the Expo School Programme, students from every school in the UAE are being encouraged to raise awareness about the milestone event, which will kick off on October 20, 2020.

Designed to engage students on the journey to 2020, it's another way the team is exposing the youth to their important role in Expo 2020 Dubai.
