Three speakers were invited to the event, Commission II DPR RI Member, Drs. Mohammad Toha, M.Si., Coordinator for Media Production Content PTP the Expert in Pusdatin Kemendikbudristek RI, Dr. Eka Khristiyanta Purnama, M.Pd., and Professor in Civic Education Program UNS, Prof. Dr. Triyanto, S.H., M.Hum.

In this national webinar, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho stated that globalization and industrial revolution 4.0 would lead to society 5.0 that connects all life aspects. Therefore, the young generation will face a challenge in living as a nation and becoming the generation that embraces the changes. “They are creative, innovative, quick to study, like challenges, and open-minded generation,” Prof. Jamal Wiwoho stated.

However, the Rector also mentioned that openness also creates a social vulnerability that has the potential to tarnish national values. Thus, emphasizing the importance of Pancasila as an ideology in the digital era to restore the national identity.

Led by Dr. Bramastia, M.Pd., as the moderator, the webinar moved to the first speaker, Drs. Mohammad Toha, M.Si., discussed internalizing Pancasila as a process to re-appreciate the state philosophy and adopt it in daily life. Therefore, Pancasila could be inculcated through the means preferred by the new generation. Drs. Mohammad Toha also emphasized that the Pancasila education program needs to be re-arranged to match the generational characteristics through media that trigger students’ curiosity, interaction, inspiring and encouraging students to be creative and innovative.

“(We) also need to consider how civic education could initiate inter-religion communities, inter-cultural, and traditional community in Student Community Service Program (KKN),” he added.

Dr. Eka Khristiyanta Purnama, M.Pd., as the second speaker, discussed the process of shaping excellent human resources as lifelong learners with global competencies and behaved based on Pancasila values. He also discussed the use of technology in the Pancasila learning process. The last discussion from Prof. Dr. Triyanto, S.H., M.Hum., focused on the reality that Pancasila has not been applied as the basis in technology development and implementation, which leads to the growth of new norms and digital conflicts. Prof. Triyanto underlies the need for developing internet ethics based on Pancasila and a clear and systematic roadmap and grand design for the application of Pancasila in the digital era, supported with a digital campaign on the matter.

“Lastly, the need for developing Catur Pusat Pendidikan, school, family, community, and internet in this digital era,” Prof. Triyanto explained. Humas UNS

This facility has improved people’s awareness of financial management as stated by Reza Sukma Nugraha, S.Hum., Faculty Member from the Faculty of Cultural Studies (FIB) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta. “In the digital era, there are large potential and opportunities for us to manage finance. Not only managing, but we could also develop our assets and finance to gain future profit that will support and better our life,” Reza Sukma explained as a speaker in the Digital Literacy Webinar Literasi on Thursday (22/7/2021).

In the webinar, he also invited the community to start investing in the digital world because, in his opinion, the advanced digital era will create a digital culture that shapes people’s behavior and habit and form norms and regulations in the digital age. He thinks the current view of most people who only live for today needs to be changed.

However, digital development should also be accompanied by knowledge of digital safety. This knowledge could protect the community from digital crimes. “We need to follow the technology development and educate people around us,” he added.

Tips for Building Investment Culture in the Digital Era

Besides providing access for an investor in gaining capital or assets, investment also reduces the risk of inflation. Therefore, Reza Sukam shared tips for new investors in building the investment culture. The first tip is learning investment instruments by discussing with the experts, watching videos, and participating in investment seminars. Secondly, investors need to collect information from credible sources and actively ask and learn from experts of practitioners. Third, new investors should start from the most accessible and safest option and a guaranteed investment scheme.

Reza also explained digital banking as one of the investment options because it offers investment scenarios such as deposits and gold savings. However, he emphasized that new investors should not jump into new popular investment schemes without fully understanding the risks. Another important culture is getting used to investing by setting aside income and not investing to chase the returns.

“Let’s start investing through the existing platforms. Understand the creditability of the platform, read the review, and discuss it. Secondly, read how it works, adjust it to our needs, and make sure it is safe and guaranteed,” Reza Sukma concluded. Humas UNS
