Assessing Intercultural Competence in International Service in Ecuador, Great Britain and Switzerland

This CSD Civic Service Research Fellows study tested a definition of intercultural competence and developed an instrument to measure and assess it. We investigated the impact of international youth service programs on Swiss and British volunteers and on their Ecuadorian hosts. Findings contributed important knowledge to the field of intercultural education regarding the identification, development, assessment and impact on those involved.
