Democratic innovationFestivalNational

Festival on democracy, human rights and civic participation founded in Lisbon in 2017 by the NGO Associação Isonomia. Each year it spreads across several cities (in 2026 Lisbon, Loulé, Coimbra and Torres Vedras) with debates, cultural events and workshops, all free according to the organisers. It targets the general public and young people rather than specialists, aiming to fight abstention. It depends on municipal partners: in 2026 the Lisbon edition was left out of the April festivities and moved to September, in the parish of São Vicente.
