Occupation and the Future: Views of University Students from Occupied Ukraine

Life is not easy for young people in Ukraine’s war-torn occupied territories. The aim of this project is to collect and scientifically analyze information provided by young people from the occupied territories who are studying online at universities   in non-occupied Ukraine during the war. This will clarify how these young people perceive the situation in which they find themselves, why they are studying at these particular universities, and whether they plan to return to Ukraine. They are asked about the conditions for those who remain in the occupied regions, the conditions for students at Ukrainian educational institutions, and their perceptions of their future. This information can be used to document the lives of young people from occupied parts of Ukraine during the war and will help create policies that will foster their reintegration into Ukrainian society   after the war.
