Begegnung
Der Titel einer Broschüre über Integration von AsylwerberInnen: "Begegnungen schaffen Akzeptanz-AsylwerberInnen und die Aufnahmegesellschaft" Wie könnte man "Begegnung" übersetzen? "Encounter" klingt für mich nach zufällig sich-über-den-Weg-Laufen, wa hier aber definitv nicht gemeint ist. Es geht eher darum, dass beide Seiten aufeinander zugehen, sich für einander interessieren, wirklich in Berührung kommen und sich nicht abkapseln.

leave it out and think up a different title
Integration and Foreigners, for example, or whatever you like, this is the best part of translating - when it's impossible, anything's allowed!

Discussion
Begegnung bedeutet im gesellschaftlichen Kontext zwischen AsylwerberInnen und der Aufnahmegesellschaft ein Sich-Einlassen auf das jeweils unbekannte Andere. … Mit diesem Grundpotential ist es für uns überhaupt möglich, Begegnung mit dramaturgischen Aspekten und sozialen Inszenierungen spannend zu gestalten. …
Ängste, Barrieren und Desinteresse liegen oftmals in der Aufnahmegesellschaft. Daher setzen unsere Begegnungsmodelle bei der Integration und Aktivierung beider Zielgruppen an. Es geht darum, Kommunikationsfelder zwischen den Beteiligten zu öffnen, Befindlichkeiten auszutauschen…. "
"Begegnung" bezeichnet hier also das organisierte Zusammenführen von Asylwerbern und Österreichern in jeglicher Form.
