Global communications group joins initiative calling for communications professionals to do their part in face of the global pandemic, climate emergency and future threats facing mankind<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Public Relations Global Network (PRGN) today\u00a0joined<\/a> an initiative endorsed by Orbicom<\/a>, the network of UNESCO chairs in communications, and called the \u201cInternational Declaration of Communications Professionals and Researchers For a Healthier, Viable, Better World\u201d. Building on the key role communications professionals play in managing global issues, the initiative<\/a> now calls for the professionals\u2019 joint commitment and action to help fight the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and other global challenges facing mankind.<\/p>\n

According to the declaration<\/a>, \u201cwith its health, social, economic and financial ravages, the coronavirus pandemic that has hit all regions of the Earth since the beginning of 2020 depicts the most serious crisis our world has experienced since the last century and more particularly since the Second World War. And communication is directly involved. [\u2026] In the face of this pandemic, a vast mobilization has been launched to bring together specialists and researchers in their communication roles and responsibilities. As this unprecedented global crisis calls for all the synergies around the world, the time has come to build solidarity to mobilize and to strengthen the cohesion of communication forces on an international scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs much as it is a truly sad and unwanted event, the coronavirus pandemic has showed yet again that communication plays a part and communications professionals have a strategic role in managing crises,\u201d said Robert Bauer, President of PRGN<\/a> and managing partner of accelent communications<\/a> in Vienna, Austria. \u201cBy joining this declaration, I wish to express my sincere belief that members of our global network also do their share in solving local and global issues \u2013 be it the pandemic, climate change, racial equality, health and poverty or the lack of education \u2013 on the six continents where they are present.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in 1992 by a group of visionary public relations leaders, with approximately 1,000 professionals in 52 locations on six continents, PRGN is one of the world\u2019s largest international public relations networks.<\/p>\n

According to his message<\/a> addressing the declaration, Oumar Kane, secretary general of Orbicom, the international network of UNESCO chairs in communications, said: \u201cThe pandemic requires the broadest possible global solidarity. We share the belief that organizations dedicated to communication have an important role to play in this current crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

By joining the group of organizations<\/a> endorsing the declaration, PRGN wishes to live up to that important role and to demonstrate its commitment to global solidarity.<\/p>\n
