With the outbreak of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, several public and private institutions from different countries had initiatives to support refugees, including through volunteers. A group of volunteers from the West University of Timisoara (WUT) mobilized to contribute to the support of refugees, together with specialists from some social services from the western area of Romania, during a period of crisis, when the migratory flow to the countries of Western Europe was intense. The present research aimed to document the experiences of volunteers within the projects initiated by WUT to support refugees in Ukraine, aiming to identify the students' motivation to get involved in these projects and to identify their perception of the skills developed due to volunteering experiences. The research was based on a qualitative design, the research method being the interview. The research instrument used was the semistructured individual interview guide, applied face-to-face between April and June 2023 to the 9 participants. Data analysis was done inductively based on codes and subcodes. The results of the study showed that the students had various reasons that encouraged them to get involved in a volunteer project to support refugees, both of an intrinsic nature (e.g., the desire to help other people, developing skills in dealing with tasks under pressure in crisis situations), as well as extrinsic (e.g., the model of one's own parents, the messages transmitted in the mass media). The participants also developed their network of potential collaborators and learned about current legislation for refugees, their traditions, and their needs.
