As part of the Summer School, held from 21 to 24 July at ID+ IPCA in Barcelos, a series of talks brought together guest speakers and participants for four days of discussion, reflection, and exchange, both in person and online.

Centred on the practice of listening as a way of expanding our relationship with ourselves and with others, the talks explored imagination, openness, and the ability to understand, recognise, and express new forms of language through a range of perspectives and disciplines.

We are grateful to our guest speakers, Claudia Lima, Luisa Arruda, Mattia Ronconi, Palloma Fernandes, and João Cóser, for their generous contributions. We also extend our thanks to everyone who participated and helped make these conversations so meaningful. The lecture series became a truly enriching space for dialogue, reflection, and exchange.

We look forward to welcoming you to the next edition.
