The report offers detailed information on the intervention program ‘Circle of Friends’ and the results of eleven evaluation studies on its impact. Further sixteen different school intervention programs concerning different aspects of children’s social participation in inclusive education, such as promoting friendships, enhancing positive relations between students, evolving pleasant classroom climate, strengthening social skills and behaviors, or developing positive attitudes towards peers with special educational needs, have been reviewed. It is aimed to create a basis to recount details of different programs on inclusion and social participation, which could help to create a new intervention program by drawing on past evaluations and experiences and adding the current state of the art to ensure a new high-quality intervention for students and teachers.
