(Abstract in english): With an increase of immigration and cultural diversity in our society, it is important to know what activities people from different cultures choose to perform and how it contribute to their perception of meaning. The aim of the study was to describe and present further understanding of how meaningful activities are experienced by migrants from Eritrea and what drives them to these activities. The results showed how the country of origin has become a driving force for these people when it comes to engagement in meaningful activities, to help their people, either through work or involvement in associations. The results also showed that participants experienced meaning in various activities both individually and together with others. It was primarily through recreation and social contexts that participants experienced meaning. Previous research has been used to compare how and if it can be an inherent value in certain activities and the importance of doing, being, belonging and becoming to feel meaningfulness.
