The Personality Development Webinar Held by the Universitas Teknokrat and IPPRISIA was opened by the Chairperson of the TP PKK Lampung Province
Chairman of the PKK Mobilization Team for Lampung Province Hj. Riana Sari Arinal, SH, opened a Personality Development Webinar organized by the Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia in collaboration with the Indonesian Personality Development Association (IPPRISIA), Wednesday (23/12/2020).
On this occasion, Riana Sari really appreciates the Personality Development Webinar with the theme “Building Multicultural National Character and Integrity”.
Riana Sari said that we are currently facing the issue of national identity, as a result of advances in information technology and globalization. The problem of the moral decadence of the younger generation also often occurs in almost all places.
Various policies have been carried out to stem the negative influence of foreign culture. Which if left unchecked will eliminate local culture and wisdom.
Therefore, said the wife of the Governor of Lampung, Arinal Djunaidi, the education curriculum based on character education is expected to be an instrument that is able to filter out bad influences from foreign cultures.
Riana Sari hopes that education does not only produce intelligence. But it should give birth to good character traits.
Therefore, character value education must be carried out and applied from an early age in three environments. The three environments are, the family environment, the school environment and the community environment. This means that the development of national culture and character can only be done through an educational process that cannot be separated from social, community culture and national culture.
The lifestyle changes that are currently afflicting the younger generation, continued this Lampung PAUD Mother, do not have to be addressed by closing themselves off. However, it must be addressed by fortifying self-generation with the character of the Indonesian nation’s identity that emphasizes hospitality, smiling, politeness, mutual cooperation, being religious as well as having better moral integrity.
Riana hopes that this Webinar can open up insights as well as produce recommendations that become solutions in the process of developing Indonesian people for the better in the future.
