ART 4 INCLUSION
Art 4 Inclusion
Welcome to Art4Inclusion.com – Where Creativity Unites Us All!
In Art4Inclusion, we believe in the transformative power of art and culture, fostering an environment where every child, regardless of ability, can not only participate in enriching artistic experiences but also become an integral part of their local and regional communities. Our mission goes beyond hosting art and cultural events; we strive to bridge gaps, build friendships, and raise awareness about the rights of children with disabilities.
Our Story
Art4Inclusion was born out of the need of the members of Imagine Heritage Non-Profit, to highlight the actions of children with special educational needs, the development of their abilities, and social inclusion, for an inclusive education. These children are the cultural protagonists through their example of a life of equality.
The Active citizens fund program allowed us to implement the project "Music Therapy Project for Children with Special Educational Needs". Therefore, we created the online platform of Art4Inclusion.com to host the project and our actions. The goal of Imagine Heritage is to maintain the idea and vision of Art4Inclusion to empower, educate, and inspire children. Supporters of this project are also the Norwegian Non-Profit, Culture Break Borders, and Cerebral Palsy Greece/Open Door.
Music Therapy Project for Children with Special Educational Needs
The project "Music Therapy Project for children with Special Educational Needs" is implemented within the framework of the Active citizens fund program, with Imagine Heritage as the implementing body and Culture Break Borders and Cerebral Palsy Greece/Open Door as partners.
The Active citizens fund program, amounting to €15 million, is financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway and is part of the financial mechanism of the European Economic Area (EEA) for the period 2014 – 2021, known as EEA Grants. The program aims to strengthen the sustainability of civil society and to highlight its role in promoting democratic processes, strengthening citizens' participation in society and defending human rights.
The management of the grant of the Active citizens fund program for Greece has been jointly undertaken by the Bodosaki Foundation and SolidarityNow.

Our Purpose
Art4Inclusion.com is an open project for inclusive art and cultural initiative events designed specifically for kids with disabilities. We understand that every child is unique, and art provides a universal language that transcends barriers.
Through our initiatives, we aim to create a platform where these children can not only express themselves but also develop essential life skills, boost their confidence, and showcase their talents.
