Amid the dominance of social media and the rapid flow of global\nculture, instilling Pancasila values in the younger generation can no\nlonger rely solely on lectures or memorisation in the classroom. A more\ncreative, interactive approach that resonates with the daily lives of\nGen Z is now considered key to keeping national values relevant. Driven\nby this spirit, Universitas Pancasila (UP) and Commission X of the\nIndonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) held a Talent Workshop\ninvolving dozens of high school and vocational school students from the\nGreater Jakarta area. The activity invited participants to understand\nPancasila values through direct experience, cross-faith house of worship\nvisits, and the creation of digital content themed around tolerance and\ndiversity.<\/p>\n
UP Rector Adnan Hamid asserted that the campus has a moral\nresponsibility to ensure Pancasila values do not stop at being mere\nsymbols or slogans. According to Adnan, the current approach to learning\nPancasila must shift from theory to real practice. For this reason, the\nuniversity fosters a culture of tolerance through various activities\ninvolving the entire academic community. One tangible manifestation is\nthe presence of six houses of worship within the UP campus environment,\nactively used for various interfaith activities. For UP, these\nfacilities are not just symbols of diversity but real spaces for\nlearning about tolerance and unity. \u201cWe want to show that diversity is\nnot only symbolically present but is truly maintained and brought to\nlife through joint activities,\u201d Adnan concluded.<\/p>\n
The workshop was also attended by Deputy Chair of Commission X DPR,\nHimmatul Aliyah, and Dean of the Faculty of Tourism at UP, Prof Devi\nRoza K Kausar, with Bintang Andhyka and Julians Andarsa serving as\nresource persons. Prof Devi Roza K Kausar assessed that the younger\ngeneration needs learning methods that are closer to their character as\ndigital natives. Therefore, participants were not only involved in\ndiscussions but also invited to create vlogs and social media content\npromoting messages of interfaith tolerance and the implementation of\nPancasila values. \u201cPancasila cannot just be taught through theory. What\nis more important is how its values can be understood and applied in\ndaily life,\u201d Devi stated. She believes that a digital content-based\napproach is an effective way to ground Pancasila for a generation\nfamiliar with social media and visual communication. \u201cWe want them not\nonly to understand the concept but also to become agents of change who\nspread positive messages to their surroundings,\u201d she added. Devi\nemphasised that strengthening Pancasila values is increasingly crucial\nin the digital era, as the younger generation is easily exposed to\nvarious global information and cultures. Therefore, they need a strong\nnational foundation to remain open to global developments without losing\ntheir national identity. \u201cThrough this activity, we hope to produce a\nyoung generation that is not only academically excellent but also\ncapable of becoming ambassadors of tolerance, diversity, and unity\nthrough the language closest to their lives today: digital content and\nsocial media,\u201d she explained.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/creative-content-and-diversity-tours-a-new-way-to-shape-youth-character-1781794266", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
