On the second day, the Gulf News Edufair kicked off early with packed halls and eager faces. The day began with keynote addresses that set a hopeful, ambitious tone. Attendees were reminded that education is not just about grades — it’s about potential, purpose, and positive transformation.

One of the morning’s standout sessions was a motivational speech by a successful alumnus turned entrepreneur. The speaker shared personal struggles, strategies for resilience, and tips for embracing failure as fuel. That message resonated deeply, especially among students juggling doubt and ambition.
Later, student spotlights took center stage. Young achievers shared how they overcame obstacles—financial constraints, limited resources, or self-doubt—on their path to outstanding academic and extracurricular success. Their stories brought many in the audience to tears, but more than that, they ignited hope.
Subheading: Educational Institutions Shine at Gulf News Edufair
Exhibitors from global universities, local colleges, and training institutes turned their booths into immersive hubs. At the Gulf News Edufair, many institutions introduced new scholarships, innovative courses, and hands-on demos. Prospective students got face-to-face time with admissions teams, enabling honest conversations about course suitability, fees, and support systems.
Tech booths drew big crowds. Virtual reality experiences showcasing campus life, interactive displays of lab simulations, and live Q&A sessions dominated foot traffic. That level of engagement gave attendees a richer, deeper glimpse into options beyond brochures.
Subheading: Workshops & Deep-Dive Sessions Empower Learners
Midday brought workshops on topics such as “Choosing the Right Major,” “Leveraging Internships,” “Building a Growth Mindset,” and “Effective Scholarship Applications.” Facilitators used storytelling, group activities, and personal coaching to help participants internalize lessons.
In the session about scholarship applications, one tip stood out: treat your personal statement like a narrative — weave in your identity, struggle, passion, and vision. Students immediately began revising their drafts on the spot.
Subheading: Networking & Mentorship Moments at Gulf News Edufair
One of the strongest threads running through Day 2 was connection. Students, mentors, and recruiters mingled over coffee breaks, seated roundtables, and even casual hallway conversations. Many relationships were sparked via that brutal truth: sometimes, success comes down to whom you know and how authentically you connect.
In the mentorship lounge, seasoned professionals offered mini office-hours: 10-minute sessions of advice, resume tweaks, or career path brainstorming. Lines for these sessions grew long, validating the importance of human interaction in an increasingly digital era.
Subheading: Success Stories That Lifted Spirits
A particularly heartwarming story involved a student who began her journey with minimal resources in her hometown. At Gulf News Edufair Day 1, she pitched a micro-business concept; on Day 2, she walked up to a university’s booth and won a mentorship slot and seed grant to scale her idea. Her tears of joy exemplified how Gulf News Edufair becomes more than an event — it becomes a turning point.
Another highlight: a pair of siblings from a remote town who shared a small laptop. They were accepted into twin scholarship programs of a prestigious international university. Their mutual support and perseverance resonated deeply with attendees and institutions alike.
Subheading: Panel Debates & Forward-Looking Dialogues
Panels on “Education in a Post-Pandemic World,” “AI in Learning,” and “Career Paths We Can’t Yet Predict” drew large audiences. Experts, educators, and student voices converged in dynamic conversation. The tone was hopeful and forward-looking: change is constant, but opportunity is vast.
One panelist emphasized: “Your career is not a straight line — it’s a constellation of skills, pivots, and serendipity.” That message inspired many to see flexibility as a strength.
Subheading: Entertainment, Culture & Community Spirit
Between sessions, cultural performances — traditional music, spoken word, youth dance troupes — reminded all that education lives within culture and identity. Attendees smiled as local youth put on energetic performances, bringing warmth to the fair environment.
Also, a photo-booth with themed backdrops allowed students to take snapshots with dream boards, quotes, or institution logos — memories to carry forward.
