The sessions, led by Edit Pálinkás and László Durányik, offered an overview of the Ma.Mu project and its results, with particular focus on the challenges of recognizing and addressing dyscalculia in everyday school environments. Topics included definitions and symptoms, classroom recognition techniques, inclusive approaches, and music-based game strategies – all designed to develop mathematical and logical thinking in children with learning difficulties.

On Friday afternoon, following the project introduction and theoretical groundwork, participants observed live demonstrations of the Ma.Mu games with the Aurin Girls’ Choir. These moments highlighted how rhythm, melody, movement, and creative collaboration can transform abstract mathematical concepts into engaging learning experiences.

Saturday continued with reflections on evaluation and impact, as well as an open game session where all attendees could try out selected activities from the newly developed Ma.Mu digital manual. The event concluded with a reflection circle, offering space for discussion, feedback, and ideas for future application.

This small yet impactful event served not only as a dissemination activity but also as a living example of Ma.Mu’s mission: to bring music and education closer together and to offer accessible, creative support for children with dyscalculia. The energy in the room, the shared laughter during rhythm games, and the thoughtful exchanges all spoke to the potential of this approach to make a real difference.

Photographs from the event captured both the joy of making music and the serious commitment of educators working to create more inclusive classrooms – proving once again that innovation often begins in small, meaningful collaborations.
