Two speakers were invited in this webinar to discuss the theme of ‘the Role of Youth Generation Through Local Wisdom-Based Strategy and Innovation in Welcoming the 5.0 Society Era.’ They are Hankenina Deafinola (Language Ambassador for DIY 2021) and Afrizal Mufti (Language Ambassadors for Central Java 2019).

In the first session, Hankenina Deafinola delivered material about the challenges and life skills needed in the 5.0 era. “In the 5.0 era, there are several jobs that will increase and decrease. Career on data analytics, big data specialists, information security analysts, digital marketing and strategy specialists, internet of things specialists, fintech engineers, database engineers, and network professionals, will continue to grow,” she explained.

Meanwhile, several fields that will keep decreasing, such as data entry clerks, accounting, bookkeeping and payroll clerks, administrative and executive secretaries, accountants and auditors, general and operation managers, business services and administration managers, human resources specialists, client information and customer service workers, assembly and factory workers, bank tellers and related clerks.

“Furthermore, the skills that must be mastered include creativity, initiative, problem-solving ability, learning spirit, intelligence, critical thinking, innovation, and leadership spirit. Additionally, the ability to design and IT proficiency are also substantial,” she added.

Meanwhile, the second speaker, Afrizal Mufti, delivered material on local wisdom.

“Substantially, local wisdom is the values that prevail in the society. Values that are believed to be true and become guidelines in the community’s daily behavior. Local wisdom is a spiritual asset or life policy that teaches people how to behave,” explained the Central Java Language Ambassador.

Youth can take a role in maintaining the local wisdom by applying cultural experience and cultural knowledge. “Culture experience is cultural preservation that is carried out by going directly into a cultural experience. Meanwhile, culture knowledge is the effort in preserving culture by creating a center for cultural information that can be implemented in many forms,” concluded Afrizal. Humas UNS

The webinar discusses the role of the younger generation in optimizing Indonesia’s demographic bonus through science and technology. M. Salman Al-Farisi, who is an environmental enthusiast, delivered material on Science and Technology Innovation as a Strategy for Solving Environmental Problems. He explained that the causes of the climate crisis are classified into three categories, namely personal, community, and the system or policy level.

“The most powerful factor, indeed, is at the micro or community level. Hence the impact is more massive and faster. However, the personal level also holds an equally important effect because it is the level where we can change our perspective or paradigm first. The clichéd answer for this condition often is to try to give the best practice or examples that are relevant to your audience,” explained Salman.

In the case of the community, it must first be understood who the audience is. If the message can be adjusted, then it can be easily understood by the audience.

“If we look at Jakarta, Semarang, Bali, and Banjarmasin, there are policies that prohibit single-use plastic bags. It is an incentive policy from the government not to use single-use plastic bags to familiarize people with not using plastic bags. It will be difficult in the beginning, but then we will get used to it and will change everything,” he added.

Meanwhile, the second speaker, Dr. Revi Gama, a lecturer at the Faculty of Medical Science (FK), UNS, explained that the comfort of breathing when wearing a mask is a matter of personal preference.

“Why we are recommended to wear double masks because previous research discovered that medical masks combined with cloth masks increase the tightness. Thus, fewer droplets pass through the layer, which can reduce our probability of getting infected with Covid-19. If you feel difficult to breathing, you can wear the N-95 masks because it has more room or spaces. If you wear the N-95 masks, there is no need to combine the mask with another layer. We can actually choose for ourselves, which one is safe and comfortable,” she explained. Humas UNS
