A participatory process is a sequence of participatory activities (e.g. first filling out a survey, then making proposals, discussing them in face-to-face or virtual meetings, and finally prioritizing them) with the aim of defining and making a decision on a specific topic.
Examples of participatory processes are: a process of electing committee members (where candidatures are first presented, then debated and finally a candidacy is chosen), participatory budgets (where proposals are made, valued economically and voted on with the money available), a strategic planning process, the collaborative drafting of a regulation or norm, the design of an urban space or the production of a public policy plan.

“Reunião” — an assembly on stage
On 5 December, at 8 pm, at the Marvila Library, we presented “Reunião” ("Meeting"), a co-creation project directed by Inês Cóias and Mia Meneses, curated by Diana Niepce.
This public presentation brought together artists, activists, and partner organisations in a space for dialogue and reflection on the community of people with disabilities. Inspired by Legislative Theatre, “Reunião” proposed a collective practice that questions policies, representations, and social barriers, creating new paths for inclusion and the transformation of cultural practices.
This performance resulted in a set of proposals submitted to the relevant competent entities, covering the following areas: Accessibility and Mobility; Education and Work; Housing; Independent Living and Personal Assistance. The full set of proposals and their current state of progress can be consulted here.
Production integrated into “INSPIRE - Intersectional Spaces of Participation: Inclusive, Resilient, Embedded”, a project co-financed by the European Union. Supported by the GDA Foundation and the Municipality of Lisbon.
