“After 400 days of a global pandemic where Communicators from all industries and governments have been impacted, it is now time to highlight and celebrate all the hard work that was done in very difficult circumstances. Our role as bridge builders, bringing people together and offering hope and advice are even more crucial than before. Our ethical, trustworthy and inclusive communication is the most powerful countermeasure to fake news, misunderstandings and a dividing narrative. We should all be proud to be part of our beautiful but also crucial profession. The long term relationship between IPRA and the UN, including the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, provide the perfect framework for Public Relations practitioners to support real and tangible global priorities. We are delighted that Eventiada IPRA GWA, the largest communications award programme in the region, is part of this process”.
