Bu çalışma, İzmir Yüksek Teknoloji Enstitüsü, Toplumsal Sorumluluk Projeler Koordinatörlüğü bünyesinde tasarlanan gönüllülük faaliyetlerinde yer alan üniversite öğrencilerinin deneyimlerine odaklanmaktadır. Toplumsal sorumluluk projeleri, üniversite öğrencilerinin gönüllülük deneyimi aracılığıyla demokratik ve katılımcı kimliğinin gelişimine katkıda bulunmayı ve öğrencilerin kapsayıcı bir toplum yaratmaya yönelik dönüşümde aktif olarak yer almalarını hedeflemektedir. Bu bağlamda gönüllülerin saha projeleri aracılığıyla, farklı nitelikteki sosyal gruplar ile kültürlerarası diyalog geliştirmeleri desteklenmektedir. Ancak bu diyalog, gönüllülerin kaygı duygusunu tetikleyen ve uyum yetkinlikleri geliştirmelerini gerektiren zorlu bir deneyime dönüşebilmektedir. Kültürlerarası diyaloğun gönüllüler üzerindeki etkilerini anlamak için 2016-2020 yılları arasında Toplumsal Sorumluluk Projeler Koordinatörlüğü bünyesinde gönüllü olarak yer almış 43 üniversite öğrencisi ile görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Görüşmeler aracılığıyla gönüllülerin sahada yaşadıkları zorlukları anlamak ve bu zorluklar ile başa çıkma mekanizmalarını ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca bu süreçte elde edilen verilerden hareketle saha deneyimini kolaylaştırıcı yöntemler keşfedilmiş; Toplumsal Sorumluluk Projeler Koordinatörlüğünün süreç yönetimi bağlamında ne gibi iyileştirmelere ihtiyaç duyduğuna dair önemli iç görüler elde edilmiştir.
