Programs
Community & Social Inclusion
Art for people with disabilities, intergenerational projects, programmes for migrants and minorities, and art for wellbeing.
Overview
Rijeka has always been a city of arrivals: of sailors, workers, families and refugees. Our inclusion programmes start from the belief that everyone belongs in the cultural life of the city, regardless of ability, age, origin or income.
We design these programmes together with the communities they serve, and we keep them free or very low-cost.

- Remove financial, physical and social barriers to culture.
- Use art to support wellbeing and mental health.
- Connect generations and communities.
- Give migrants and minorities space to share their own cultures.
