This article discusses integration as a process rather than as a result or as a system of distribution, and takes its cue from Lave & Wenger’s concepts of “situated learning” and “legitimate peripheral participation”. By using integration as a process related concept the article analyzes both the intentions of an integration project as well as its consequences. The intention of the project was to simplify the integration of new members of the Swedish society by funnelling them into existing associations and clubs of their own choice in order to open up the considerable amount of social net works connections to these associations and clubs through their members. By becoming members of Swedish associations and clubs newcomers would also become aware of the importance of representation in Swedish society. The authors too see this result as an important step in the process of integration from a legitimate peripheral position towards the ever changing centre, e.g. integration as a result of various situated learning.
