FACING DISASTER - Discover the force of teamwork and trust

The world is full of hazards. Storms rage, rivers and seas flood over, earth
trembles, wildfires flare up. To face all this, we need teamwork and trust
– our best skills against any crisis, the skills of resilience.

Facing Disaster lets visitors discover their teamwork skills in gamified exhibits and experience the forces of nature as audio-visual art installations.

In this child-friendly exhibition, resilience is explored in its most tangible form: teamwork and trust. With these core skills we strengthen communities and build more sustainable societies for the future.

KEY MESSAGE

Our shared resilience is built and maintained through working together before, during and after a crisis.

FACING DISASTER

The exhibition offers a versatile view of disaster resilience through engaging hands-on exhibits, audiovisual art and inspiring true stories and artefacts from all over the world.

Our teamwork skills and ability to trust each other are highlighted in the gamified exhibits.

Forces of the natural elements - fire, wind, earth, water - are experienced in walkthrough audiovisual art installations realized by projection artist Laszlo Bordos (BordosArtworks).

True stories of resilience in face of natural forces are illustrated by artefacts and authentic soundscapes.
