Einbeziehung vs Integration
integration
'die Integration' and 'die Einbeziehung' both mean that someone or something is not left outside. 'Einbeziehung' is often a single step: people are involved in a conversation, a decision, or an activity. 'Integration' is usually a longer and deeper process in which people or parts truly belong to and contribute to a group, society, or system. The words can be confused because inclusion or involvement can be part of integration. For short situations, 'Einbeziehung' often fits; for lasting belonging, 'Integration' is usually more appropriate.
