Summary/Abstract: Is it widely known what inclusion is? Is there a difference between inclusion and integration? There aremany opinions and answers that reveal a low level of understanding. The certain elusiveness of inclu-sion is both an advantage and a pitfall. The ambiguity of interpretation allows for greater reflectionand exploration. However, it also hinders society-wide understanding since meaning is only given toinclusion by individuals through a unique understanding tied to individual experience and context ofmeaning. We present here our take on the issue, deliberately raising questions without requiring strictanswers, as an inspiration for welcome discussion and reflection.
