From March to June, the city and KidZania Busan operate the ‘2030 Expo Studio (6th floor)’ inside the job experience theme park KidZania Busan.

The studio explains the significance and necessity of hosting the 2030 Busan World Expo to children of the future generation visiting KidZania Busan. It offers a job experience opportunity where children become ‘advertising planners’ and ‘child ambassadors,’ engaging in various activities to promote the 2030 Busan World Expo.

This educational donation activity was prepared to directly practice and share the core values of the World Expo: ‘education, innovation, and cooperation.’

From April 3rd for 26 days, these organizations invited 2,030 children from welfare centers, Dream Start programs, and local children’s centers to experience the ‘2030 Expo Studio’ free of charge on designated days.

In addition to the ‘2030 Expo Studio’ experience, over 50 job experience opportunities such as mart marketer, flight attendant, and chef, operated by KidZania Busan, were also provided to allow children to explore careers suited to their aptitudes and aspirations.

The city explained that this educational donation activity contributed to fostering nationwide enthusiasm for hosting the 2030 Busan World Expo by providing opportunities to understand the significance and necessity of the event, as well as the strengths and appeal of Busan as the candidate host city. In particular, it successfully practiced the sub-theme of the 2030 Busan World Expo, ‘Care and Sharing,’ by offering various job experience opportunities free of charge to children from educationally vulnerable groups who usually find it difficult to visit KidZania Busan.

Mayor Park Hyung-joon said, “I sincerely thank everyone at KidZania Busan for providing educationally vulnerable children with the precious experience of the 2030 Busan World Expo and offering equal educational opportunities.” He added, “A sustainable future society is not maintained by the strength of a single outstanding individual but is created through the efforts and sacrifices of all members of society. Therefore, our city will strive to ensure that all members of society receive quality education through the practice of ‘education, innovation, cooperation,’ as well as ‘sharing and care.’”

The city will hold a participation event on the ‘The Wave’ platform from May 19th to May 28th.

On this platform, participants can write posts about their activities aimed at creating a better Earth and future for humanity, including experiences at the ‘2030 Expo Studio.’ By tagging the 2030 Busan World Expo on social media (SNS - Instagram) with hashtags, participants will be entered into a draw to receive commemorative gifts.
