Expo 67: A Current Vision for the Future

With multiple thought-provoking discussions, technological feats, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere all filling the 1000 acres of Expo 67, this world exhibition’s vision of unity and hope for the future is certainly relevant today, and more so than ever before. With current issues (some just as serious in 1967 as they are now) from the Syrian refugee crisis to climate change presenting challenges for the world, Expo 67 serves as a reminder that when humans work together to advance for a higher standard of living, everyone wins. Today’s social climate provides prime opportunities in activism, and Millennials will definitely harness that to fight for the future they believe in. The generation of tomorrow will benefit from Expo 67’s vision for the future, and while the events of 1967 are different from the events of today, the basic struggle and vision for a better tomorrow still remains.
