Abstract
In this article, a qualitative study with fifteen refugees from Ukraine is presented to investigate the use of social media for refugee adaptation and connection to Ukraine. The results indicate that social media is indeed important, especially in the field of finding information about the Netherlands, maintaining a social network and finding news about Ukraine. However, for the purposes of work and education, other online methods, such as websites, and offline social networks were used. This suggests that social media can be utilised more to provide information about life in the Netherlands, whereas the role of social networks can be researched further.
