Bordal started in 2018 a itinerant exhibition entitled 'Bordal goes to the street'. This initiative seeks to bring the knowledge of the different stages of the Madeira Embroidery production process to Madeirans and tourists. In 2012, Bordal created the 'Madeira Embroidery Historical Tour' which provides a guided visit to the factory to know and experience the entire process of manufacturing and history of Madeira Embroidery.
In the words of the Madeiran writer Horácio Bento de Gouveia, Madeira Embroidery is described as our"Tears running the world".
