We invite you to the presentation of the results of the focus group study "Migration attitudes of the Kherson region residents abroad".
Date and time: Thursday, June 5, 2025, 10:00
Format: Zoom with broadcast on Facebook.
The meeting will present the results of the analysis of the intentions of residents of the Kherson region, who are currently abroad, to return to Ukraine after the end of hostilities. The focus is on social, economic, and security factors that influence these decisions, as well as the expectations, fears, and visions of the future of the displaced themselves.
The research aims to provide a factual basis for the formation of policies, reintegration, and reconstruction programs focused on the needs of people who are still considering the path home.
The analysis is based on the results of focus group studies conducted in April-May, 2025 among residents of the Kherson, Bilozerka, Novovorontsovka, Vysokopillia, Chornobayivka and Stanislav communities, who are currently in European countries (Poland, Germany, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Ireland, France, Norway, Finland, Croatia, Switzerland, Romania), as well as in Georgia and Canada. The sample did not include residents of the Kherson region who are in temporarily occupied territories or on the territory of the Russian Federation for security reasons, ethical considerations, or due to limited access to these respondents and high risks to their anonymity and data protection.
Participants of the presentation:
- Mykola Homanyuk, Candidate of Sociological Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Socio-Economic Geography of Kherson State University, Head of the Kherson Regional Branch of the Sociological Association of Ukraine.
- Yuriy Antoshchuk, Coordinator of the Network of Working Groups on Public Safety and Recovery in Kherson Region, Head of the "Union" Foundation.
