“Sensory Accessible Event certification is a first for an event in the region and in World Expo history. When Expo 2020 Dubai welcomes the world from 1 October, people of determination will be at the forefront of the visitor experience – a fact confirmed by Expo’s international certification as a Sensory Accessible Event.
In acknowledgment of Expo’s pledge to host the most accessible and inclusive World Expo in history, it has become the first event in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia region – and the first World Expo – to receive the International Board of Sensory Accessibility (IBSA) certification. The landmark recognition was presented to Expo 2020 by Sensory Access – the body responsible for assessing Expo’s accessibility measures – at an event to mark World Autism Awareness Day (2 April), held at Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion.” Haulage News

The following animation gives the viewer a glimpse into sensory overload, and how often our sensory experiences intertwine in everyday life.
