Dossiê: Extensão em rede: tecnologias digitais, comunicação e participação

The Viver IFRS Extension Journal opens a call for the thematic dossier of issue 14 (2026), dedicated to discussing experiences, reflections and challenges of extension activities in dialogue with digital technologies and public communication.

In a context marked by the intensified use of social media, virtual platforms, hybrid learning environments and multiple media languages, extension is being reinvented in new territories – face-to-face, digital and combined.

The dossier invites extension practitioners, researchers and other actors involved in extension activities from Brazil and Latin America to share reports and articles that critically examine how extension projects, programs and policies have appropriated digital technologies to foster social participation, circulation of knowledge, inclusion, listening to communities and the collective construction of knowledge.

Scope and thematic axes

Submissions may address, among others, the following axes:

• Extension experiences in virtual and hybrid environments (courses, training, workshops, online communities of practice).

• Public communication of science, culture and technology in extension projects (social media, podcasts, videos, blogs, web radio, collaborative platforms).

• Youth, digital culture and extension.

• Strategies for engagement and participation of communities in digital networks.

• Processes of active listening, demand mapping and feedback mediated by digital technologies.

• Experiences of critical and creative use of open technologies, free software and open data in extension activities.

• Connections between extension, educommunication, media education and digital literacies.

• Theoretical and methodological reflections on extension in network, cyberculture and community communication.

Texts addressing dimensions of digital inclusion, accessibility and the fight against inequalities in the use of technologies are also within the scope of the dossier, especially when articulated with public communication and social participation.

Types of contributions

The following types of contributions will be accepted:

• Articles resulting from research, systematization or critical analysis of extension experiences.

• Experience reports that describe, analyze and reflect on concrete extension actions, explicitly presenting context, objectives, methodology, results, challenges and lessons learned.

Submissions may be written in Portuguese or in Spanish. Authors are encouraged to emphasize the dialogical nature of the actions, the partnerships established, the communication strategies used and the effects observed in the territories – both physical and digital.

Target audience

The dossier is aimed at extension practitioners from Federal Institutes, universities, university centers and other basic and higher education institutions, as well as members of social movements, civil society organizations and cultural collectives that work in partnership with educational institutions, especially in Brazil and Latin America.
