Success Story

Like other shopping centers, Aqua Portimão hosted the touring exhibition #EUSavesLives on the European Union’s initiatives in the event of natural and humanitarian disasters in Europe and the rest of the world. The exhibition took visitors through the experience of three emergency reponses in the field using virtual reality: visiting a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh, flying over a forest fire in the cockpit of a water bomber, and visiting a school for refugees in Kenya. This immersion in the heart of the action, which aims to bring the EU closer to its people, also served to start a debate on civil protection and the future of the European Union.
