Resilient Hearts, Empowered Lives

The Vanuatu Pavilion at Expo 2025 embraces the strength and unity of a nation made up of 83 islands, each unique, yet bound together by a shared spirit. Our theme, Resilient Hearts, Empowered Lives , celebrates the courage, creativity, and cultural pride of the Ni-Vanuatu people.

At the heart of our identity is a logo inspired by dance, an artform that connects, expresses, and unites. The stylized dancers move in harmony, symbolizing our diversity coming together as one. Just as dance reflects rhythm and resilience, our pavilion tells the story of a people empowered by their traditions and moving boldly into the future.

Step inside the story of  Vanuatu 

As you enter the Vanuatu Pavilion, the deep, rhythmic call of the Tam Tam greets you—a traditional wooden drum that has echoed through generations. It welcomes you not only with sound but with soul, inviting you to embark on a journey of connection, culture, and purpose.

Your experience unfolds in three key chapters: Investment, Tourism, and Trade & Industry, each revealing the essence of Vanuatu.

You begin with Invest in Vanuatu, where opportunity meets tradition. Here, you’ll discover how investing in our people, environment, and economy supports sustainable development rooted in resilience. Learn about local partnerships, innovation, and future-ready industries shaping the nation’s growth.

From there, you are transported into Answering the Call of Vanuatua celebration of our islands’ natural beauty and cultural richness. Through vibrant imagery and immersive storytelling, feel the warmth of our people, the power of our kastom, and the unique spirit that makes Vanuatu more than just a destination, it’s a place to belong.

The final chapter is Vanuatu Made, where trade and industry come to life through color, texture, and craftsmanship. Explore a curated display of handmade products, traditional arts, contemporary fashion, and locally crafted goods. This is where creativity meets identity, and where culture continues to inspire global audiences.

And for a truly immersive touch, step into our Sound Booth, a special exhibition space where you can close your eyes and let the sounds of Vanuatu transport you from the heart of Osaka to the soul of the South Pacific. From crashing waves to village songs, it’s a sensory journey that connects land, people, and place.
