Meanwhile, in collaboration with municipalities, the Expo 2023 Doha committee also organised a series of school visits, offering students an informative educational experience into Expo 2023 Doha zones and exhibitions along with its myriad of activities.
The awareness campaigns were launched on September 28, targeting both private and government schools, with the aim of acquainting them with the themes and objectives of Expo 2023 Doha, as well as inspiring the students and encouraging them to be a part of this international event.
The Expo awareness team has delivered several educational lectures to students in 31 schools, covering all educational stages. Additionally, municipalities played a supportive role in raising student awareness, covering 36 schools nationwide.
Once launched, the awareness campaigns received extensive engagement from students, who expressed great enthusiasm for discovery and learning, as well as a strong inclination to participate in tree planting and afforestation efforts, thereby embodying the essence of Expo 2023 Doha’s “Green Desert, Better Environment.”
