The clock is ticking to be part of the greatest show on earth.
The world’s gaze will fall on Expo 2020 Dubai later this year – October to be exact – and this is the final call to be part of the historic fanfare.
Anyone wishing to act as an ambassador for the country and help welcome the masses (estimates put the guest list at a staggering 25 million people) to Dubai has until Wednesday March 31 to sign up as volunteer.
Some 30,000 volunteers are needed to keep the global mega-event spinning for the duration of its six-month run.
Abeer Al Hosani, Director, Expo 2020 Volunteers Programme, Expo 2020 Dubai, said: “As the first World Expo to be held in the Arab world, Expo 2020 promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all.
“Volunteers will be at the heart of the action, gaining lifelong skills, and exploring and networking with international visitors, participants, businessmen, entrepreneurs and more.
“We are delighted with the phenomenal response and commitment from the UAE community, who have been with us throughout this entire journey.
“I invite all those who have not yet submitted their applications to seize their chance before applications close on 31 March, and contribute to Expo’s volunteering legacy, which is built on the UAE’s deep-rooted spirit of volunteerism.”
The volunteers programme is open to everyone over the age of 18, regardless of their nationality or education, as long as they are fluent in English, possess strong communication skills and are able to volunteer ten shifts.
