The "ICYE Study Report: Human Rights in Diversity 2016" provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of international volunteer service on promoting human rights awareness. Funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, this report captures experiences from 18 international volunteers across continents, focusing on personal, social, and cultural developments during their service. The findings reveal significant growth in volunteers' understanding of human rights issues, enhanced intercultural competencies, and increased personal development through immersive community engagement. The study emphasizes the essential role of support systems in maximizing these impacts and provides recommendations for integrating human rights education effectively into volunteer programs.
