INtegration INclusion INtervention INspiration
Project IN is a community with the aim of increasing the quality of life of the population through inclusive creative arts and culturally sensitive therapeutic interventions.
Our Story
Project In emerged its first project when the Hip Hop-based music therapy practices of Salih Gulbay with immigrant and refugee youth were put into practice under the name of Hip Hop Project In, with the contributions of the Ferrer-Salat Music Foundation.
Project In then took steps to establish an independent organization with a group of artists and mental health professionals investigating arts-based interventions to address the contemporary needs of the at-risk immigrant and refugee community.
​
Today, Project In is actively serving in Europe to improve the quality of life of individuals and communities through engagement with art, and cultural practices.
Meet the Team
Project In is funded by Salih Gulbay and received strong influences from many academicians, artists, and organizations. It is an organic structure that changes, grows, and adapts. Now based in Portugal, but actively moving to share transformative experiences and liberating activities with different communities all around the globe.
