It's really not that hard (or new) people. Let this simple image help you.
That image should make it clear, yes.
All the way with
Rory here! These words have a social dimension (as words do), and having experienced "Integration" myself, that can go fuck itself.
Inclusion pls. Thnx.
Exactly. That's why its important to consider what words we use and update our vocabulary when we realize what we said is outdated.
I do not cry rivers about my families heritage, but I learned to stand up for me: Integration, Inclusion, TomAtos, TomatOs. It's the same thing with a new name.
What you describe (people rejecting you because of your heritage) is excluding a group of people from a specific institution because they are better off "among others with that background" (e.g. hauptschule as you suggested here). The head of school who said "Join our school", is not doing integration but inclusion. He does not exclude people/deny them access based on heritage (or other factors such as handicaps etc.).
We have known about the difference between inclusion and integration for quite some time. That these graphics are not new to you does not surprise me. When a theory is born, it takes quite a while till it arrives in politics and even longer till society hears about it. Decades pass from its birth to till everyone knows, then you have to put it into action. After that comes the fighting back phase till we have acceptance. In our Bildungsplan it still says that Kindergarten has to teach children about their birth assigned gender! Who knows when we will accept that gender is a social construct.
We are by far not at 100% with the "everyone knows"-phase, as we can see. The more important it is to emphasize the difference between those two words and bury the word integration for good.
Words bring awareness, that's why we shouldnt shrug it off and just say "whatever". Just like Gender inclusive language is important.
Inclusion is very different from integration. On so many levels. If we want that change from integration to inclusion, we should bring awareness by using the words correctly.
To say nothing has changed is harsh. I cant dismiss that its horrible in many situations, but there are places which diligently adapt. I have worked in a kindergarten that lived inclusion by representing culture, and also language by posting multiple language information letters, included labels in the classroom in different languages etc. This is inclusion! Still not ideal, but we walk into the right direction.
I had also a brief working coop with a kindergarten that wouldnt hire people wearing hijab and rejected a child's application because she had migration background. That was in 2020.
If we do not use different words for each and therefore clearly differentiate, how'd you expect society to see and understand the difference and progress in the development of a fair and inclusive society?
