About the Journal

International Studies in Community Engagements, Outreach Programs and Extension Projects

Scope and Focus:
International Studies in Community Engagements, Outreach Programs, and Extension Projects is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal that provides a scholarly platform for examining the theory, practice, and impact of community-engaged initiatives across diverse academic, social, and cultural contexts. The journal aims to document and disseminate innovative practices, research findings, and transformative experiences that arise from collaborative efforts between higher education institutions, civil society, local communities, and other stakeholders.

This journal welcomes submissions that explore a broad range of themes including but not limited to service learning, participatory action research, community-based education, sustainability projects, disaster risk reduction initiatives, health and wellness outreach, indigenous community partnerships, rural and urban development programs, and social entrepreneurship. It also encourages critical analyses of policies, frameworks, and institutional strategies that support or challenge the effectiveness of extension and outreach initiatives.

With a strong emphasis on inclusivity, ethical engagement, and social responsibility, the journal seeks contributions from global scholars, practitioners, extension workers, development professionals, and educators. It particularly values interdisciplinary approaches and evidence-based practices that demonstrate measurable impact, foster mutual empowerment, and contribute to the holistic development of both partner communities and educational institutions.

Thus, the journal aspires to shape discourse and practice around community engagement by promoting collaborative, culturally grounded, and sustainable models of social transformation.
