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

The webinar was opened by Prof. Dr. Leo Agung S., M.Pd., as the Chief of PSPP UNS. The invited speakers shared their views, starting from Dr. Sarbini, a Faculty Member of Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Raden Mas Said Surakarta, who discussed the gap in understanding religiosity in the public space and to be pious privately is often clash with Pancasila. Dr Sarbini explained that religiosity at public places needs to put forward the collective life, similar to adopting Pancasila in the public space, that needs to be aligned with the religious values to minimize the difference between the two.

“Pancasila must be defined in the daily life through religious practices that prioritize collectiveness above all differences. Therefore, religion could serve as an ethical foundation for the development of good nationalism in the healthy public spaces,” Dr. Sarbini, M.Ag., stated.

Different from Dr. Sarbini, who suggested Pancasila implementation through religious practices, Dr. Winarno, M.Pd as the head of Pancasila and Civics Education Program Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) UNS, stated that Pancasila is basically the abstract values of an object. Some people even dubbed it as The Five Principles. “While the concrete application of these values is norms,” he explained.

Dr. Mibtadin, a researcher at PSPP UNS, shared another different view that the religious values or tawasut needs to be developed with Pancasila development could be implemented through education. Therefore, in the Global-Millennials era, the comprehension on Pancasila, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, NKRI, and the 1945 Constitution could be pursued through the Information Technology (IT), for example, by providing creative and up-to-date contents, such as vlogs or TikTok so that education could connect with the millennials.

Characters development also need to start early through the involvement of the millennials generation in the Pancasila community, Ihya a-turats Pancasila, and national knowledge such as the spirit to be united, respect differences, willingness to sacrifice, never give up, patriotism, nationalism, optimism, self-esteem, togetherness, and self-confidence. Character buildings need to involve cultures and traditions to prevent identity loss in the millennials. This effort could be implemented by introducing Pancasila as the nation’s ideology through formal education.

“Or through developing national knowledge and Pancasila through educational institutions, national literacy, and history books,” Dr. Mibtadin concluded. Humas UNS
