Participatory and deliberative democracy processes are lauded for addressing political distrust and polarisation by deepening public engagement but are often criticised for their failure to include disempowered groups. The EU-funded INSPIRE project seeks to foster intersectional equality through inclusive, resilient participatory spaces that address the needs of marginalised groups and align with policymaking institutions. Researchers will emphasise socio-economic factors affecting participation and use creative methods to design inclusive spaces with participants. The assemblage theory will also be used to understand the complexity of the participatory practices across local, national and transnational levels.
