Summary/Abstract: During the years 2017-2020, a team of teachers from the Faculty of Arts, UP Olomouc implemented the IMUZA Project with the support of the European Investment and Structural Funds within the framework of the Research, Development and Education Operational Program, which was guaranteed by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic. The basic title of the project was set at: Through uniqueness of artistic expression towards inclusive artistic education. The basic starting point of the IMUZA Project concept was to recognize the uniqueness of the artistic production of children, pupils and students with special educational needs (SEN). However, the scope of the IMUZA Project did not only include a group of students or children of compulsory school age, it was also focused on supporting, motivating and educating current and future teachers and other workers who come into contact with these children in their professional and non-professional activities. Therefore, it included the area of teaching artistic disciplines and developing artistic sensitivity in kindergartens, primary schools, special schools, primary art schools, conservatories and also in associations that focus on art as part of their activities. Another important aim of the project was also to try to extract as many positive acquisitions as possible from the mutual meetings of the project participants (Kružíková, 2020).
