Project

The scientific project was carried out from March to September 2022. The project was designed to explore motives, goals, issues, and strategies of the behavior of Ukrainian war refugees in the host countries Germany and Poland.
During the project, qualitative methods of ­research were used. Among these were case studies, semi-structured interviews, and fieldwork. To collect data and conduct volunteer jobs for the war refugees in Poland and Germany, I collaborated with Caritas and Münchner Tafel.
According to the results of the project, the majority of the refugees in the host countries were mothers with children. In the earlier stages, they needed different types of help, protection, and support in the countries. Later, some of them needed employment. After a while, some of them returned to Ukraine.
Using the results of the project, scientific ­articles for academic journals in Indonesia, Romania, the UK, and Turkey were written. Also, conference presentations in Italy, ­Sweden, Turkey, Germany, the UK, Morocco, ­and Poland were made.
