An event to commemorate 47 years from what has been called the Carnation Revolution (Revolução dos Cravos). History narrates about how so many man including the military have change the fascist regime that lasted 48 years in Portugal and ended on 25th April 1974. Many women have been protagonists of different forms of resistance then - for example, the iconic Catarina Eufemia - but many women have been advancing and nurturing new forms of democracy in Portugal since then. This webinar is a snapshot of creativity in advancing democracy in Portugal focusing on participatory and deliberative formats.
