The Atollo Project
The Atollo Project is a pioneering initiative funded by the European Union that aims to empower learners with disabilities through the creation of accessible and inclusive digital educational materials. Through international collaboration, the project is developing innovative digital educational resources that cater to the needs of every learner. The Atollo Project team comprises members from Croatia, Bulgaria, Austria, Germany, Iceland, Norway, Ireland, and Australia, including leading technology companies, universities, and government organisations.
Inclusive Digital Educational Content
The output of the Atollo Project will include high-quality digital tools and content that enhance mathematical and digital competencies in children with intellectual disabilities. The project aims to produce a minimum of 45 digital educational units, tailored to various levels of learning difficulty (profound, severe, specific, and moderate). These units will be part of a comprehensive digital education toolkit designed to support inclusive learning.
