We are looking for people from Ukraine who have found refuge from the war in European countries, including the Balkans, and who are willing to share their experience and help with research about integration. We would also like to hear from those who went abroad but decided to return home.
New Eastern Europe is conducting this research jointly with the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN), Centro per la Cooperazione Internazionale (Italy), European Pravda (Ukraine), and El Orden Mundial (Spain).
Key things we want to know:
- When did you leave and which country did you go to?
- What is your situation with obtaining accommodation, a job or education?
- How well did you manage to integrate?
- Are you considering going back home?
Your stories will be used to help with our research. We will not use the data without prior consent, and our goal is to point out general systemic problems.
Answers are secure and encrypted.
