Celebrating the UAE\u2019s enduring commitment to promoting education<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The ground level experience will leave visitors of all ages including children and youth engaged in fun-based learning.\u00a0Right from their arrival itself, guests will be treated to an enriching experience in \u201cThe Awakening\u201d zone as they go on the UAE\u2019s deeply inspiring journey into education. They will develop a deeper sense of admiration for the huge emphasis the country\u2019s Founding Father, the late Sheikh ZayedBinSultan Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, placed on education as a building block for the nation\u2019s sustainable growth and development over the course of history.<\/p>\n In the \u201cDubai Cares Achievements\u201d zone, visitors will then have the opportunity to learn more about the impact of the Dubai Cares movement and how it represents the people of the UAE who are known for their cultural, intellectual and social diversity, their shared values of respect, care and compassion and their collective commitment to transforming education globally.<\/p>\n Letting children be themselves <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n From an inspirational showcase of the past, visitors will then be invited to learn about the importance of fun-based learning as they engage in a series of interactive activities inside \u201cThe Right Start\u201d zone. With the aim of turning misconceptions into \u200blearning advantages, children are encouraged to express and communicate themselves freely. They can look forward to exploring their voice, feelings and confidence by screaming at the top of their voices, stomping on the ground to participate in a race with friends, as well as use their imagination to create their own comic and story. Altogether, this zone promises an unforgettable time for children and grown-ups alike.<\/p>\n \u201cThe overall experience at Expo 2020 Dubai was amazing. The Dubai Cares Pavilion was the best thing to have happened that day. Once the children entered the first zone, they could not contain their excitement. The Roaring Range, where they could scream, shout, and just be themselves, was the most outstanding experience any child would want to have. And why just children, even adults like myself would grab that opportunity to vent out. Continuing on the journey, children also got the chance to explore their skills and learn about what job opportunities await them in the future.\u00a0Giving kids of this age such an opportunity was truly outstanding and comes from a far-sighted vision of building a comprehensive nation. The time spent at Expo was truly memorable and worth experiencing again,\u201d said Vibhuti Vats, Middle School Teacher at DPS Dubai<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A sneak peek into the future <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n A highly visual transformation tunnel will then take visitors down a path from the current education norms to a glimpse into the future before they step inside the \u201cThe Future of Education\u201d zone. Here, they will have the opportunity to enjoy an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience created by H-FARM, the biggest European innovation platform located in Italy that provides innovative education for children, young people and adults to be able to face the new challenges of tomorrow, enables a business haven platform for youth start-ups, supports companies to create new business models, as well as prompts digital transformations. Removing the boundaries of current day classrooms and traditional\u00a0learning style, this zone gives visitors a glimpse into the future of remote learning through a multi-channel technological platform, as they take lessons in Space, Human Anatomy and Art. Students can look forward to interacting with their classmates, grabbing virtual objects, and completing exercises and tests in this one-of-a-kind learning experience powered by VR technology and embedded\u00a0in mixed reality.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are proud to present our project that looks to the future of education by exploring new perspectives on teaching and learning in an international and extraordinary context such as Expo 2020 Dubai,\u201d commented Riccardo Donadon, CEO of H-FARM. <\/strong>\u201cI am thankful that Dubai Cares believed in our vision of a new school, a place that is no longer just physical but also multi-channel, that can bring together students in virtual classrooms wherever they are. More technological, more profiled, more innovative, more family-friendly and closer to students: that is the future of education.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, the \u201cSkills of the Future\u201d zone features6\u00a0futuristic space pods that have an intelligent simulator system powered by GLEAC, a human skills development platform that helps people learn and apply human skills through simulated real world situations. Visitors will explore what lies ahead for our next generation and how we can best prepare the youth for the jobs of the future. Students can look forward to exploring their strengths and discovering the human skills they will need to succeed and thrive in the future as they participate in a short survey that allows them to learn about themselves and find out what jobs they will be best suited for.<\/p>\n \u201cMany\u00a0of the jobs in the next five years will evolve or cease to exist and while we may not know the hard skills needed yet, we all have transferable human skills such as creativity and critical thinking. The GLEAC experience at the Dubai Cares Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubaiallows you to understand yours and sharpen them with three months of free mentorship from global experts with micro-practices,\u201d said Sallyann Della Casa, Founder and Chief Identity Hacker, GLEAC.<\/strong><\/p>\n Visitors will also be invited to take action by joining the Dubai Cares movement and learning about the various ways in which they can support the organization\u2019s mission \u2013 from volunteering and donating to suggesting ideas that can help make a difference in the lives of children and youth globally.<\/p>\n On the first floor, students can look forward to being part of various interactive workshops. In the month of October, a total of 2,445 students took a tour of the pavilion, while 1,160 students aged 6-12 years participated in 55 story-based workshops designed by Kide Science and organized in collaboration with Finnish education experts at both Kide Science and Upiopi.<\/p>\n The ongoing story-based workshop offers 6\u201312 year-old students the opportunity to play an active role as learners and UAE engineers to help a fictional character Fatima, whose education has been interrupted due to an earthquake, in designing and building a new school. In addition to releasing their imagination and out-of-the-box thinking, children get to work as engineers to discuss the importance of education, emotional well-being and learn how each of us have a role to play in being active agents of change.<\/p>\n Every student participating in these workshops receives one of two kits provided by Skechers; one kit includes a backpack and a pencil pouch while the other includes a sipper and a tote bag.<\/p>\n Founder and Chairwoman of Apparel Group, SimaVed,<\/strong> said: \u201cFunding education has always been an important strategic vertical of Apparel Group philanthropy and CSR strategy. We believe that education will serve as the catalyst to transformative change and we want to ensure that we support children from all walks of life with access to such an educational experience. This contribution is another step in our ongoing collaboration with Dubai Cares to support global education projects and we are very proud of our association.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition, this floor also features a\u00a0<\/strong>Podcast Room, a talk space (theatre-style) for RewirEd Talks that can be booked by partners and organizations to host their own events and conferences within the Dubai Cares Pavilion at no cost.<\/p>\n The Dubai Cares Pavilion\u2019s sponsors include LG Electronics, Skechers and Audi.<\/p>\n
