Summary/Abstract: In this article we introduce our fouryear long interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research project (2019- 2023). In the project we investigate the ways students living in a dormitory in Miercurea-Ciuc (Csíkszereda), Romania supported by the Moldavian Csángó Hungarian Educational Programme find their place in the Hungarianspeaking Transylvanian city; the ways they relate to their original home in Moldavia and the ways they interact between each other when using different linguistic and non-linguistic practices of belonging, identifying and differentiating themselves. First we introduce the research topic, then the objectives of the project and the proposed plan to carry out the research based on the principle of participation and engagement. Since the COVID-19 pandemic reached Romania and Hungary in March 2020 we also pose some questions regarding the possibilities of carrying out a participatory research in the field in the current situation.
