integration
'die Integration' and 'die Teilhabe' are closely connected when it comes to society. 'Integration' describes more of a process: people are included and are meant to find their place in society. 'Teilhabe' describes more the opportunity and the right to really take part, have a say, and be included. The words can be confused because good integration is meant to lead to participation. In short: integration is often the path; participation is the goal or the result.
