Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), in collaboration with the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP) and Commission XIII of the House of Representatives (DPR RI), organized the "Volunteer Movement for Pancasila Virtues Cultural Program" at the Engineering Hall of USU on Sunday, 14 June 2026.
The event featured Prof. Yasonna H. Laoly, S.H., M.Sc., Ph.D., Member of the House of Representatives, Prof. Dr. Alvi Syahrin, S.H., M.S., Professor at the Faculty of Law, USU, and Robby Christian Tamba as speakers.
In his presentation, Prof. Yasonna emphasized the importance of instilling Pancasila values in younger generations through relevant and contemporary approaches, including the use of social media. According to him, digital platforms can serve as effective tools for strengthening the values of unity, mutual cooperation, and tolerance.
"BPIP has undertaken various initiatives, but these efforts need to be intensified through approaches that resonate with Generation Z and university students. They possess the creativity to develop innovative ways of promoting Pancasila values," he stated.
He also reminded participants that diversity should be embraced as a national strength. Therefore, volunteers and members of society have an important role in maintaining unity and preventing division amid Indonesia’s multicultural landscape.
"Let diversity become a tool for unity and a source of national strength, rather than a cause of division," he stressed.
Meanwhile, the Chair of the Volunteer Movement for Pancasila Virtues Cultural Program, Galuh Ibrahim, explained that the activity aimed to encourage students and the wider community to apply Pancasila values in their daily lives.
He expressed hope that participants would become agents of change who not only practice Pancasila values personally but also initiate innovations and positive movements within their communities.
"We hope that these volunteers will become agents of change who embody Pancasila values while creating innovative and positive initiatives within their surrounding communities," he said.
In addition, BPIP continues to strengthen collaboration with various stakeholders, including universities and community groups, to expand the impact of the Pancasila Virtues Movement. Through this synergy, Pancasila values are expected to become increasingly embedded in society and serve as a guiding principle in social, national, and civic life.
