MOVE will happen in the beautiful Parque da Alta Vila, Águeda in Portugal. This beautiful city is known for the incredible amount of umbrellas spread across the municipality, "The umbrella sky project". It irradiates art through each corner, with its painted walls and benches across the streets. Every year in July there's also an arts festival, AgitLab, which brings amazing art to its streets. It is close to Aveiro and its beaches and it is crossed by a river. There is also a public swimming pool available in the summer and pedestrian pathways to walk along the biggest lagoon in Iberian Peninsula, Pateira de Fermentelos.
