Reports
【Reflection】
The event was a dynamic and engaging experience that offered visitors a vivid glimpse into Qatar’s vision for the future.
It began with the Food Security and Sustainable Agritech session, where participants explored Qatar’s innovative approaches to achieving a sustainable future – from smart farming to zero-waste technologies. Guests were fascinated by how these advancements are shaping Qatar’s long-term national development plans.
The following STEM and TVET presentation showcased Qatar’s efforts to equip future leaders with practical, hands-on skills. Attendees responded enthusiastically to the importance of applied STEM education, as the session demonstrated how innovation and education come together to build future-ready societies. Through audience questions, interactive quizzes, and small prizes, the presentations turned serious topics into an enjoyable and inspiring learning experience.
A highlight of the day was The Dhow’s Journey interactive exhibit, which allowed visitors to discover Qatar’s maritime heritage through five immersive phases. Participants learned about the craftsmanship, history, and sustainability of traditional dhow building. The hands-on nature of the experience deepened understanding of Qatari traditions and made the exhibition both educational and memorable.
The event concluded with the distribution of beautifully designed keychains depicting traditional Qatari men and women, creatively combined with Japanese design elements. These thoughtful gifts delighted attendees and served as a perfect keepsake of the day.
Overall, the event successfully blended learning, interaction, and cultural heritage, leaving participants inspired, informed, and connected to Qatar’s story of innovation and tradition.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Building on the positive feedback and outcomes of this event, Qatar continues to advance its efforts in education, sustainable agriculture, and cultural exchange. The approaches showcased during the Expo – particularly in STEM education and sustainable agritech – will serve as key pillars in future collaborations and knowledge-sharing with international partners.
Furthermore, the event has strengthened the foundation for deeper engagement with Japan. Inspired by the success of this interactive and cross-cultural programme, Qatar looks forward to exploring new opportunities for cooperation that highlight both nations’ shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and cultural understanding.
