Beyond the Digital Illusion
Data Democracy Lab. An initial reflection and an invitation for future collaborations
The INSPIRE Data Democracy Lab serves as a creative and collaborative space to rethink how data is used in participatory processes. Its mission is to move beyond "datafied participation," where data often constrains democratic processes, to a model of data democracy, where citizens are empowered as co-creators of data narratives and digital tools for inclusive policymaking.
This approach aligns with the INSPIRE project’s broader objective of fostering intersectional inclusion in participatory democracy by ensuring that data supports, rather than limits, agency, transparency, and accountability.
The INSPIRE Data Democracy Lab also focus on co-creating innovative models of digital participation and data stewardship that empower communities to take an active role in shaping democratic processes. By leveraging the Decidim platform, the Lab explores how digital tools can be designed to reflect community needs, foster inclusivity, and ensure ethical data practices.
