The conference offered an opportunity to showcase the Atollo Resource Library, explore the practical impact of the project’s work, and discuss how inclusive digital learning can be further supported across Europe.
Opening the conversation on inclusive education
The conference opened with welcoming remarks from project representatives and invited speakers, setting the scene for a day of discussion on inclusion, accessibility and digital learning.
Participants were introduced to the aims of the Atollo Project and the collaborative work carried out by partners across Croatia, Bulgaria, Austria, Germany, Iceland, Norway and Australia. Over the course of the project, the consortium worked together to design, test and refine digital learning materials that respond to the needs of learners with disabilities and the educators who support them.
A key theme throughout the event was the importance of ensuring that digital education is not only innovative, but genuinely accessible, practical and meaningful for every learner.
Showcasing the Atollo Resource Library
One of the main highlights of the conference was the presentation of the Atollo Resource Library.
The Resource Library provides free, multilingual digital learning materials designed to support learners with special educational needs. The resources are available in six languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, English, German, Icelandic and Norwegian.
Hosted on the IZZI platform, the materials can be accessed without registration or payment, making them easy for teachers, schools, families and support professionals to use.
The resources are organised across four differentiated learning levels, supporting a wide range of learners, from students with profound and multiple learning difficulties through to learners working towards lower-primary level outcomes.
During the conference, participants had the opportunity to see how the resources work in practice and how they can support more inclusive, flexible and engaging learning experiences.

Sharing experiences from practice
Throughout the day, partners shared insights from the development and piloting of the Atollo learning materials. These reflections highlighted the importance of co-creation, testing and feedback in developing digital resources that are truly useful in real classroom settings.
The conference also created space for discussion between educators, project partners and stakeholders. In Session 2, attendees were invited to share their perspectives, ask questions and contribute to the conversation on how inclusive digital education can be strengthened beyond the lifetime of the project.
This exchange underlined one of the central messages of Atollo: meaningful inclusion requires collaboration between teachers, learners, families, researchers, technology providers and policymakers.
A collaborative European effort
The Atollo Project was developed in response to the need for more accessible digital learning materials for students with learning difficulties and disabilities. Through the combined expertise of its consortium partners, the project has produced resources that are both pedagogically informed and practically tested.
The final conference was also a moment to recognise the commitment of the project partners, teachers and learners who contributed to the development of the resources.
Their work has helped ensure that the Atollo Resource Library is not simply a collection of digital materials, but a tested and adaptable tool that can support inclusive education across different national and classroom contexts.
Looking ahead
As the Atollo Project reaches its final stage, the conference offered a timely reminder that inclusive digital education must remain a priority.
The Atollo Resource Library is now publicly available and free to access, providing a valuable resource for educators, schools, families and organisations working with learners with special educational needs.
By making these resources available in multiple languages and across different learning levels, Atollo aims to support more inclusive classrooms and contribute to a wider culture of accessibility in digital education.
The Atollo consortium would like to thank everyone who joined the Final Conference, both in person in Pula and online, and all those who have contributed to the project’s work.
