Town Hall Theatre, Westport · September 2025
Partners of the Atollo Project came together in Westport, Ireland for a highly successful
two-day consortium meeting hosted at the Town Hall Theatre. The event provided an important opportunity to
reflect on progress to date, exchange insights from pilot activities, and plan the next steps for the project.
“What truly makes this project special are the brilliant partners, a team of experts whose professionalism, creativity, and dedication have turned an ambitious idea into reality.
Through our pilot activities, we witnessed something remarkable: for the first time, digital content that is genuinely ready to use, that teachers can apply immediately, and that truly supports children with learning difficulties, while proving equally effective in mainstream classrooms. The feedback from teachers and parents has been incredible.
Our next step is to build on these insights and prepare practical guidelines, so that everything we have developed can be shared widely, with the hope that education for children with learning difficulties will become even more inclusive, engaging, and better for all.”

Project Progress – Fully on Track
The project management team confirmed that Atollo is fully on track, with specific objectives being delivered as planned.
Key achievements so far include the development of 45 digital learning units in six languages, ongoing pilot testing in classroom
settings, and strong collaboration between universities, schools, and research institutions.
Project by the Numbers
Insights from Piloting Activities
Associate Professor Lillian Gran from Inland University, Norway, presented findings from the pilot phase showing
Atollo’s digital resources’ real impact on learners with special educational needs. Teachers across Germany, Bulgaria, and Croatia
reported strong engagement when materials matched learners’ abilities but also highlighted the need for differentiation,
accessible design, and continuous IT support.
Strategic Planning for the Future
- Website accessibility and enhancements to ensure Atollo resources are inclusive and user-friendly.
- Dissemination planning focused on reaching as many educators as possible to maximise impact.
- Preparations for the final Atollo conference in 2026, including structure, outreach, and showcasing results.
