IPRA, the International Public Relations Association, has signed a partnership agreement with The Global Communications Project. Also known as GlobCom, this is an international effort for PR students run by 16 universities. Under the agreement, inter alia, the organisations will exchange information, help promote the ethical development of the PR profession with our codes and guidelines, and offer IPRA discounted membership to GlobCom students.
“I am thrilled to welcome GlobCom to our IPRA family. Educating the PR practitioners of tomorrow is an essential task. Gathering professionals worldwide not only helps the levelling-up of public relations but also helps mutual understanding and the building of trust," comments IPRA President Nataša Pavlović Bujas.
The new GlobCom President is Gaelle Picherit-Duthler, dean of graduate studies at Zayed University, Abu Dhabi. Commenting on the agreement Gaelle said: “By collaborating with IPRA, we aim to enrich our students' educational experience and promote the highest standards of ethical practice in public relations. This agreement not only expands opportunities for our students but also strengthens the global PR community through shared knowledge and mutual support”.
