Central theme
and main title:
PLAY FOR HUMANITY
Play for humanity is the central theme and main title of the Specialised Expo that will take place in Belgrade in 2027.
The idea of the theme is to highlight the vital importance of continuous reinterpretation and reimagining of the world around us through the prism of play as a method of discovery, creation, analytical observation, and surpassing the boundaries of the known. Play is of essential importance for today's society, which is full of changes, challenges, and uncertainties.

EXPO 2027 divides its main theme Play for Humanity into three sub-themes that explore fundamental aspects of play, how it manifests, and its impact on shaping humankind:
