Hur integration och dess process upplevs och görs i Kristianstad kommun : - om upplevelser och erfarenheter kring integration

Sammanfattning: This essay is an effort to highlight what integration is and how it is achieved. The aim of this study is to create a deeper understanding of integration and its process in Kristianstad. The focus is on a local level and Kristianstad as a municipality has been investigated. Two different categories of people have been interviewed for this study to be able to highlight integration. The first category includes personal that is working with integration in Kristianstad through a municipal perspective. The other category includes people that has immigrated to Kristianstad.  The theories that this essay used about integration is by Margareta Popoola and Jose Alberto Diaz. The result of my study shows that integration is seen as a process for both the minority group and the majority group to adapt on several levels to each other. Even though the groups are intended to adapt to each other the result show that its mostly the minority as a group that needs to adapt to the majority when integration is discussed. The conclusion of this study is partly that integration is a complicated term and can be understood differently depending on where and when its used.
