As the world faces the COVID-19 epidemic, the BIE has come to the difficult but needed decision of postponing EXPO 2020 Dubai to next year: the city will “welcome the world like never before” starting October 1st 2021 until March 31st 2022.
Here’s the video posted on the official Youtube account.
Village takes this an opportunity to be better and do better, and looks with renewed hope towards the future. #WeAreOne
On April 6 Village joins Peace and Sport to celebrate the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSPDP).
As the world faces such difficult and trying times due to the global pandemic, we believe it is extremely important to stand together against the challenge and fight through global solidarity and unity. The current circumstances are asking unprecedented strength and effort from us, but we are sure that sport, thanks to the ideals of equity, unity and peace that it holds within itself, can be the key to start again stronger than before, once the emergency has ended.
To celebrate the IDSDP, Peace and Sport has created an initiative called #WhiteCard, and Village responds to this call with pictures from Milan Junior Camps (2018) in Bergamo, Italy – which is deeply meaningful, due to Bergamo being one of the most affected cities in the Country by COVID-19 – and Astana, Kasakhstan.
These pictures are testimony to what sport has done and can do: educate and unite people from all over the world. As H.S.H Prince Albert of Monaco said “The message behind the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, celebrated on April 6, comes into full play in the current context. Using sport to protect our planet and reinforce our bonds with each other“.
Today we stand – virtually – with Peace and Sport and everyone celebrating worldwide to bring a message of hope, knowing that our strength lies in our unity. In this sense, Village commits to continue working, in view of what’s to come.
After monitoring the development of the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we regret to announce that Village has decided to suspend/postpone all activities and events. This has been a tough decision, but as the health and well-being of our staff and participants are always what matters the most for us, we know that this was the right choice.
As of today, the training programme Millennials Meet The Future that should have taken place in March has been postponed to May 25-31. Stay tuned for any further change or update.
All other training programmes, in Italy and worldwide, are suspended at the moment, but will be resumed as soon as the global health situation will allow it.
All our offices in Milan, Miami and Dubai, are still actively working towards a brighter future. We will come back stronger than ever.
We thank you for your understanding.

We are glad to announce a collaboration between Village Gulf Hospitality Services and the Dubai Mall. On July 10th , around 30 selected Italian students from the project Millennials Meet the Future were hosted by the staff and began their training activities. In particular, 5 cooks were welcomed by the staff of Opso Restaurant and had the opportunity to observe the kitchen and try some dishes. Also, in the following weeks, the cooks were welcomed in two more restaurants: New Shangai and Awani.
In the meantime, the fashion students were taken around to explore the glamourous shops of the Fashion Avenue with a personal shopper. Finally, the girls from esthetic and wellness were introduced to different beauty shops and had the pleasure to try handcreames and perfumes and to see more in detail how the perfumeries are organised, especially because the perfume sector in Dubai is very active and prestigious.
We thank Mohamed Abd Elsalam, Dubai Mall tour guide supervisor, for having organised the work experiences and guided the students around the Mall; we also hope to keep this collaboration for new projects in the future.
