In a first phase, the “Water without Borders Tournament” will be launched in schools, on World Water Day, March 22, where thousands of children from schools in the region will be challenged to create an advertising piece with a view to encouraging the public to general for water saving.
The winning groups of this tournament will then be invited to an event on an Algarve beach, where they will be able to share their work and experiences, and also participate in the 'Aguas sem Fronteiras' – a set of creative activities that encourage people to look in a different way. for water, as well as to include its preservation in the daily routine.
The event will be attended by local and national personalities.
