The empowerment of women and developing technology that will shape the future are among the 10 themed weeks planned during a programme of Expo 2020 Dubai workshops.
Organisers of the world's fair, which opens in October, released a calendar of events for the Programme for People and Planet.
It aims to leave a lasting legacy of change by calling on the Expo’s partners, participants and visitors to explore issues of global significance.
Participants will investigate solutions to critical global challenges, such as mitigating climate change and biodiversity loss to making human habitats more sustainable.
Talks will also aim to bridge the digital divide and ensure equal access to education and health care.
Dazzling pavilions at Expo 2020 Dubai
Leading experts such as UAE Space Agency chairwoman and Minister of State for Advanced Technology Sarah Al Amiri, environmentalist Dame Jane Goodall and Eden Project founder Sir Tim Smit are expected to give talks.
“The Programme for People and Planet will form an essential part of our event-time activities,” said Nadia Verjee, chief of staff at the Expo.
“It will also catalyse a one-of-a-kind movement to shape the legacy that Expo 2020 leaves the world, long after we close our doors, resulting in a meaningful and measurable impact for generations to come.
“Sitting at the heart of our World Expo, it will take place at a moment in time that could not be more urgent or opportune.”
More than 220 events will take place as part of the programme, from large forums and public conventions to seminars and workshops.
The Expo's signature platform for connecting minds, the World Majlis series, will play a prominent role, with 53 individual sessions set to engage visitors over the course of six months.
Visitors will be able to explore the topics raised in the Programme for People and Planet by embarking on a curated Visitor Journey.
Self-guided tours will be available on the Expo app and allow visitors to discover the different ways in which countries, businesses and other organisations are responding to the key challenges we are facing as a global community.
The thought-provoking series of talks will give pressing issues facing the planet a major platform.
The Expo opens in Dubai on October 1 and will run until March 31, 2022, with millions of people expected to flock to the emirate from around the globe to sample the wide variety of events.
Visitors will be able to tour more than 200 pavilions at the vast Dubai South site, 191 of which represent individual countries.
Tickets for the mega event went on sale in July.
Single-entry tickets for the six-month world fair will cost Dh95 ($26), while a six-month season pass is Dh495.
Visitors also have the option of a multi-day ticket for Dh195, which gives them unrestricted access to the site for 30 consecutive days.

Notable salonnières of the Middle East through history
Al Khasan (Okaz, Saudi Arabia)
Tamadir bint Amr Al Harith, known simply as Al Khasan, was a poet from Najd famed for elegies, earning great renown for the eulogy of her brothers Mu’awiyah and Sakhr, both killed in tribal wars. Although not a salonnière, this prestigious 7th century poet fostered a culture of literary criticism and could be found standing in the souq of Okaz and reciting her poetry, publicly pronouncing her views and inviting others to join in the debate on scholarship. She later converted to Islam.
Maryana Marrash (Aleppo)
A poet and writer, Marrash helped revive the tradition of the salon and was an active part of the Nadha movement, or Arab Renaissance. Born to an established family in Aleppo in Ottoman Syria in 1848, Marrash was educated at missionary schools in Aleppo and Beirut at a time when many women did not receive an education. After touring Europe, she began to host salons where writers played chess and cards, competed in the art of poetry, and discussed literature and politics. An accomplished singer and canon player, music and dancing were a part of these evenings.
Princess Nazil Fadil (Cairo)
Princess Nazil Fadil gathered religious, literary and political elite together at her Cairo palace, although she stopped short of inviting women. The princess, a niece of Khedive Ismail, believed that Egypt’s situation could only be solved through education and she donated her own property to help fund the first modern Egyptian University in Cairo.
Mayy Ziyadah (Cairo)
Ziyadah was the first to entertain both men and women at her Cairo salon, founded in 1913. The writer, poet, public speaker and critic, her writing explored language, religious identity, language, nationalism and hierarchy. Born in Nazareth, Palestine, to a Lebanese father and Palestinian mother, her salon was open to different social classes and earned comparisons with souq of where Al Khansa herself once recited.
