Across the seven INSPIRE pilots, participatory democracy did not end with performances, exhibitions or a list of policy proposals. It moved into a more demanding - and often less visible to the main public - phase, what many partners came to call the day after.

In December 2025 the Lisbon pilot of INSPIRE hosted “Reunião” ("Meeting"), a co-creation project directed by Inês Cóias and Mia Meneses, curated by Diana Niepce. This event brought together artists, activists, and partner organisations in a space for dialogue and reflection on the community of people with disabilities. In this blog, the INSPIRE team reflect on Reunião, its significance, impact, and legacy.
