The Global Communications Symposium brings together students from around the world for cross-cultural exchange of talent integration, ideas and teamwork.  Students, lecturers and industry professionals have converged every year since 2002 to observe and participate in this highly valuable program.  A collaboration of 15 universities from 15 countries teaches the future generation of communications industry leaders about the challenges of working across cultures, languages and distances. The 2018 edition of GlobCom was hosted by Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Students are grouped into teams (or ‘real communication agencies’) and given 12 weeks to prepare a global public relations campaign based on a challenging corporate PR brief that spanned 5 continents. Each team was led by mentors from education or industry. Joseph Henry, the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Vivaldi Public Relations, the leading Public Relations Agency in Thailand, coached one of the 9 teams. Joseph also participated as one of the esteemed jury members tasked with selecting the finalists for the competition.

About the experience he said, “It was incredible working with a group of talented and motivated students from Spain, Australia, UAE and many other countries. The proposal and pitch presentations I saw were strategic, professional, and incorporated and conveyed many excellent ideas. It was my privilege to support this worthwhile program as both a mentor and jury member.”

Working purely in an online fashion can be challenging and is open to producing inadequate results based on misunderstanding or misinterpretation. Education centers today bring together students from different countries and different backgrounds in an environment in which they must learn together, work together and create understanding, often across great physical distances. In this regard, it is no different to how teams must co-operate in international business environments and being able to learn these skills has massive value for students for this very reason. PR is something that is also often misunderstood by agency clients and internal operators alike; its value and the interpretation of its meaning can mean different things to different people across different regions. That’s exactly why this type of collaboration is essential in teaching crucial skills to developing young PR professionals.

Almost 1.9 billion Facebook users globally were set to be protected by an all-new and all-encompassing EU privacy law. That’s the new Euro law restricting what companies do with people’s data goes into immediate effect tomorrow. Facebook however is doing everything it can to make that number of users much fewer.

Facebook users outside US are governed by terms of service agreed with the company’s international headquarters (in Ireland).

Facebook is now planning to make the case for ONLY European users, meaning 1.5 billion people in Africa, Asia, Australia and Latin America will not fall under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which takes effect on May 25 (following successful closure).

Facebook is highly focused on reducing its exposure to GDPR, which allows European regulators to fine companies for collecting or using personal data without the user’s consent.

This removes a large potential liability issue for Facebook, as the new EU law allows for fines of up to 4 percent of global annual revenue for infractions, which in Facebook’s case could mean billions of dollars.

The change comes as Facebook is under scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers around the world since disclosing last month that the personal information of millions of users wrongly ended up in the hands of political consultancy Cambridge Analytica, setting off wider concerns about how it handles user data.

The change is set to have an effect on over 70 percent of Facebook’s 2 billion-plus members. As of December 2017, Facebook had 239 million users in the US and Canada, 370 million in Europe and 1.52 billion users elsewhere.
