Hosted by the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, this event will feature an exciting program of creative activities, motivational speeches, discussions on sustainability, and interesting survey results to encourage students to be more involved in renewable energy and sustainability.
The Student Exclusive programme will welcome a wide pool of interesting speakers from different backgrounds.

Also included are a variety of young performers who will share their talents with us. Some of our guests include: Parkour coach Amal Murad, Talent Development enthusiast Waheeda Al Hadhrami, and pianist Mona Alhashmi! We will also be welcoming back last year’s MC, Khalid Al Ameri!
