Jakarta – Friday, 17 December 2021, LSPR held the 13th and 14th sessions of the 3rd LSPR OMNI series in collaboration with De La Salle University, Dasmarinas Philippines and Breda University at Applied Sciences, Netherlands.

The thirteenth session featured Prof. Marco Polo, Director University Advancement & External Relations Office and Associate Professor Communication & Journalism Department at De La Salle University, Dasmarinas Philippines and was moderated by Ms. Martha Silaban, lecturer from LSPR Communication and Business Institute while the eleventh session featured Ms. Marlette Kriele, MSc, Lecturer at Leisure & Event Management in Breda University at Applied Sciences, Netherlands.

Prof. Marco Polo first explained that the media is the key in delivering information for the society and when the world is turning Global the media is also improving into a global scope. There are no limitations in accessing information anymore. These conditions help us in knowing the world’s conditions, not only that we can also contribute in disseminating the news through our own media, but we need to be careful in choosing what to share, the rapid growth of global media may cause lots of misleading news. Prof. Marco Polo stressed that we need to check the facts before we disseminate the news.

Media also has the role to give information about an organization’s projects or events. Ms. Marlette Kriele explained that it is important to build an event that can give an experience for the audiences and gain their attention. The key is to build an engaging ambience, it may need creativity and interactive sessions in order to build an interesting experience for the audience. We can also add a co creation event in order to make it more thrilling.

LSPR OMNI is part of a lecturer exchange programme, an initiative to balance the student’s online and offline academic learning in addressing the “new normal” environment.  LSPR OMNI is similar to LSPR Lecturer Exchange Programme, however due to travel restrictions, we wanted to continue the implementation by making this available online. LSPR OMNI started in 2020 where international lecturers come and teach LSPR students through online classes. This year, LSPR OMNI will be held  from 29th October 2021 until 17th December 2021. The distinctiveness of this year’s session of LSPR OMNI is that the sessions are available for all LSPR students without any limitation. We want to reach and invite all LSPR students to join and take learning beyond borders.
