One of the biggest contributors to PR development in the Asian region is LSPR – Jakarta which provides a premium PR education for all. The success of this is based not only on the theoretical methods of teaching but also on dramatology, hybrid online & offline learning, and internship.
The main message Prita Kemal Gani addressed to the world at 2018 WPRF – Oslo was the issue of “The Truth, Profit, and Intelligence”. She raised the question of quality education that must be based and focused on the development of the country and, therefore, education should bridge the inequality problem not only in Indonesia but in the world. Doing so, the government must implement relevant policies helpful for the younger generation.
From this point, it was questioned how to create and achieve the twenty-first century’s business model to get profits. According to Prita Kemal Gani, the answer is – Trust, Profit, and Intelligence. Our human qualities are the most important things that cannot be replaced by machines. For this reason, PR is upbringing, connecting people around the world.
