Abstract
In recent years the number of Eritrean refugees, who have fled their country because of the recent regime, has increased. The research focuses on how Eritrean status holders build a new network in the city of Groningen and what is the influence of initiatives, such as Humanitas. I use social network theory to conceptualise how Eritrean immigrants build their network. Interviews, starting with a mental map, were held with 6 males and 6 females. Also a key informant was interviewed. The themes that emerged from the data are: perceptions of the Netherlands, urban and rural areas, meeting places or opportunities and person/actors in the network and the position of women. The theme barriers and experiences has several subthemes: language, time management, neighbours and reserved. These different themes provide insight into how the Eritreans experience building a network in Groningen.
