Yes, what is integration?
To us, integration means
interest.
And interest means
that you have your own interests and that you respond to the interests of others.
But to us, integration also means something new
And ‘something new’ means
new languages, new food and new cultures.
But to us, integration also means tolerance.
And tolerance means
that we don’t discriminate against anyone because of the colour of their skin or hair,
their origins or their language.
But to us, integration also means experience.
And experience means
sharing experiences and being able to empathize with others.
But to us, integration also means equality.
And equality means
not making any distinctions between men and
women, or any differences in the work they do.
But to us, integration also means religion.
And religion means
the free practice of various religions and the acceptance of those practices.
But to us, integration also means acceptance.
And acceptance means
we accept people just as they are.
But to us, integration also means team.
And team means
cooperation and mutual tolerance.
Everyone is allowed to voice his/her opinion;
in society we’re all one big team.
But to us, integration also means the individual.
Every individual counts.
To us, integration means openness.
And openness means that we don’t close our eyes to new things,
and that we continue to develop.
But to us, integration also means curiosity.
And curiosity means we learn about people and their cultures.
Integration!
