In 2017, Braga was officially designated as Creative City of UNESCO in the field of Media Arts. An International Network of Creative Cities that aims to strengthen cooperation between cities that consider creativity as a strategic factor for sustainable urban development with social, cultural and economic impact.

RoadShow 18/19, prepared by the Braga Media Arts Educational Service, fills the space between creation, the Media Arts and the community. In this specific process, EAUM's Product and Service Design Master's students focused their 2nd semester assignments on the needs of this blind and low vision community of the ESM special education department. Given the specificities of the MSc, a long cooperation between both educational institutions was developed, with several intermediate actions (described below) that will culminate tomorrow (05/24), with the final presentation of the works to the entire educational community.
