Civil action 'Today movie exclusive, tomorrow equal society is not elusive' was implemented in the City of Koprivnica and Koprivnicko-krizevacka county in 6 primary schools attended by 526 pupils from 1st to 8th grade. The overall implementation of the project involved 6 volunteers who through their work, free time and persistence contributed to the successful implementation of all planned activities. The results show that pupils and their teachers are satisfied with this form of interactive work in which children have the opportunity to express their thoughts, but also that the guided watching of film is a good method to get attention of pupils and to develop their awareness of social relationships and roles. Since we live in a time when it encourages the integration of children with developmental difficulties in regular primary and secondary schools, where in this process van be observed that children and adolescents with typical development often do not know how to believe or feel uncomfortable in the presence of children with developmental difficulties or people with disabilities, the importance of continued work with children and youth of typical population is of utmost importance. It turned out that teachers and expert associates are trying to include in their curricula the inclusive facilities, which result in positive thinking of students and rarely more acceptable reflection than the adult members of the society, but also that they need professional help and support in this process.
