Expo 2020 team opens BUiD kiosk

As part of an ongoing outreach campaign to generate support for the UAE’s bid to host the 2020 World Expo in Dubai, the Expo team this week opened an informational kiosk on the campus of the British University in Dubai, or BUiD. This kiosk, which provides visitors key insights into the UAE’s Expo bid, is designed to encourage students and faculty to take part in the country’s campaign to win the right to welcome the world on the eve of the UAE’s 50th anniversary. This initiative follows similar programmes recently launched at the American University in Dubai, the Canadian University in Dubai, the University of Wollongong in Dubai and Zayed University. These events are part of a continuing series of outreach initiatives designed to raise nationwide awareness of the country’s Expo bid among diverse communities, including young people. Throughout the programme, the Expo team highlighted how hosting the Expo would create new opportunities for young people to think, explore and connect with the global community while learning first-hand about innovative solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.
