Abstract

Migration and migration experience currently present an important phenomenon for a variety of social
groups of general public in Slovakia. Migration is considered to be one of key civilization challenges. The
main aim of the paper is to provide the first findings about a relatively overlooked topic of the young people‘
s return home from abroad. The paper deals with the young migrants‘s decision-making process with
regards to their return home. Its complementary part is the cultural shock upon their re-entry. We observe
the role of the category of “home” in the process of returning and the dimensions that are associated with it.
In addition, we are interested in what creates the feeling of being “home again” in its positive and negative
connotations. We analyse the four overlapping and interactive dimensions of home: the spatial, temporal,
emotional and rational ones, which we support with the results of field research. The research was made on
the basis of interviews with young people in Slovakia.

Roman Hofreiter, PhD, is a sociologist and the head of Department of Social Studies and Ethnology at the Faculty of Arts, Matej Bel University. He completed the doctoral course in Sociology at Faculty of Arts of Comenius University. During his doctoral studies, he was a visiting PhD student at the School of Law and Social Sciences, Nottingham University. Currently, his main research interest is the methodology of social sciences and the computer analysis of quantitative and qualitative social data. He is participating in the H2020 project PROMISE: PROMoting youth Involvement and Social Engagement: Opportunities and challenges for ‘conflicted’ young people across Europe.

He is analysing the tendencies of returning young migrants to become bearers of change and development in their home country.
