The data above shows that the application of Pancasila values integrated through character education at universities in Indonesia is very important to face the challenges of globalisation and acts of This shows that Pancasila is an open ideology, meaning that Pancasila will continue to be relevant in accordance with the development of pluralistic Indonesian In line with this, the era of globalisation can actually be used to disseminate the values of Pancasila through the introduction of culture.
The data above also shows that in fact Pancasila education through an academic approach has been well implemented, this can be seen in university policies, the implementation of learning and the commitment of lecturers in their efforts to become role models for students is quite On the other hand, there is AohomeworkAo that has not yet been resolved, namely related to the values contained in Pancasila that have not been integrated in all courses in the study programme.
connection with this, to resolve the chaos that occurs, it is necessary to integrate Pancasila values in various courses, not only limited to Pancasila courses, but also in other courses in each study programme, and the most important thing is how lecturers are able to explore the self-awareness of each individual student to practice Pancasila values in the life of the nation and state.
Such efforts will undoubtedly shape a young generation with integrity, responsibility, tolerance and readiness to face the challenges of Challenges and opportunities in preventing acts of intolerance through the internalisation of Pancasila Values, as a moral foundation in shaping the nation's character in the midst of global currents.
Challenges A In this era of dynamically moving globalisation, the Indonesian nation faces multidimensional challenges.
There are problems in internalising Pancasila as the philosophical basis in shaping national character and identity, especially through the education sector.
Globalisation brings new values such as extreme individualism, materialism, secularism, radicalism that leads to intolerant attitudes and moral relativism that substantially contradict the basic values of Pancasila, namely Divinity.
Humanity.
Unity.
Deliberation, and Social Justice.
Globalisation not only expands access to information, but also opens the tap for the entry of foreign ideologies that are often not in line with Indonesia's national spirit (Suhartono, 2.
One major challenge is the erosion of the values of collectivism and gotong royong in the social life of the community, especially the younger generation.
The values of togetherness that are the spirit of Pancasila are now often replaced by individualism and narrow pragmatism.
Education, which should be the main pillar of strengthening character based on Pancasila, is more oriented towards academic achievement.
Our education system, in many cases, has not fully internalised the value of Pancasila in the learning process, so that the character of students is not fully formed (Muttaqin, 2.
Religious and ethnic-based intolerance is a serious challenge in Indonesia's multicultural This phenomenon is further strengthened by the spread of hate speech and radicalism through social media, which often trick the younger generation with false narratives about identity and struggle.
The absence of digital literacy based on Pancasila values makes students vulnerable to exposure to extremist ideologies (Wahid Foundation.
Character education that is not yet strong has become an entry point for intolerant ideologies, which ironically targets students directly.
Various internalisation of Pancasila lead to the following increasingly complex forms of social discrimination:

Religion-Based Discrimination Undermines the Principle of Belief:
Although Pancasila places the value of Belief in One God as the first principle, the reality on the ground still shows the religion-based Intolerance towards religious minorities, rejection of the construction of houses of worship, and faith-based hate speech, are real ironies against the ideals of Pancasila.
The failure to internalise respect for religious pluralism indicates that the substantively translated into the social behaviour of Indonesian society.
Social Injustice Due to Economic Inequality:
The reality of economic disparities between the centre and regions, cities and villages, elites and marginalised people, is a concrete challenge in realising social justice for all Indonesian people as mandated by the fifth principle of Pancasila.
This economic discrimination not only widens the poverty gap, but also hinders equal access to education, health and technology.
Economic globalisation, if not balanced with Pancasila-based principles of distributive justice, will only deepen social fragmentation.
Cultural and Ethnic Discrimination Disregards the Principle of Unity:
The primordialism, tribal fanaticism and ethnocentrism phenomenon still often overshadow the social dynamics in Indonesia.
Differentiated treatment based on ethnicity, discrimination of local cultures in public spaces, and stereotypical bias in the media, are forms of violation of the principle of Indonesian unity.
In fact, the third principle of Pancasila demands respect for cultural diversity as a collective strength, not a source of division.
Normalisation of social violence against vulnerable groups:
Increasing cases of bullying, gender-based violence, and discrimination against groups with disabilities indicate that the values of a just and civilised humanity have not been fully internalised in social The rise of violence, both physical and verbal, indicates a weak collective awareness of respect for human dignity, a principle that is the backbone of Pancasila.
The Exploitation of the Digital World for Discriminatory Practices:
Advances in information technology, instead of being fully utilised to empower the values of Pancasila, are often used to spread hate speech, fake news, and SARAbased cyberbullying.
Anonymity in cyberspace increases opportunities for geographical or social boundaries.
The neglect of digital media ethics shows a failure to internalise the principles of justice, unity, and fair humanity in virtual .
Morality Crisis due to Penetration of Global Individualistic Culture:
Globalisation brings with it values of consumerism that erode collectivity and social solidarity.
The younger generation, who are supposed to be the guardians of the nation's future, are often caught up in the paradigm of instant and egocentric living, which contradicts the principle of gotong royong as a reflection of the human values and unity of Pancasila.
This phenomenon creates an empathy gap that hinders the creation of a civilised and inclusive society.
Fading Nationalism in Modern Social Dynamics:
The lack of a sense of national pride, low participation in efforts to defend the homeland, and apathy towards national issues, are reflections of the weakening internalisation of Pancasila values.
Pseudo nationalism that only appears in ceremonial moments without substantive appreciation is a real threat to the existence of the nation in the current global .

West Science Law and Human Rights principle of democracy led by wisdom in deliberation/representation.
The example of the elite in upholding the values of Pancasila is an absolute prerequisite for the internalisation of these values to take root in all aspects of the life of the nation and state.
The fact is that many political elites and bureaucrats have not been able to make themselves good role models for the people.
This has led to a sharpening of the social gap and a degradation of the people's trust in their leaders.
Marginalisation of Local Identity in Globalisation:
Global cultural pressures have led to the marginalisation of regional languages, traditional arts, and customary values that are manifestations of Indonesia's local Local identities that should be preserved as part of national wealth are marginalised, weakening the pillars of diversity upheld by Pancasila.
Commoditisation of Religion in the Political and Economic Arena:
The instrumentalisation of religion for electoral politics and pragmatic economic interests is a new form of discrimination.
This phenomenon not only undermines the value of the One True God, but also threatens national social cohesion by dividing society based on sectarian Pancasila demands that religion should be a source of public ethics, not a tool of social manipulation.
The lack of moral exemplarity among the nationAos elitesAiwhether in the political, spheresAifurther exacerbates the challenges of internalizing Pancasila.
When public officials, educators, and even community leaders display behaviors that contradict the values of justice, unity, and humanity, learners are deprived of inspirational figures they can emulate.
Character education based on Pancasila will not be effective if these values remain confined to the classroom and are not reinforced by exemplary conduct in real-life social environments.
The instability of national education policy direction also poses A a serious hindrance.
Constant curriculum changes, policy shifts lacking strong ideological foundations, and inconsistent implementation of Pancasila education across educational levels have led to a loss of continuity in the internalization process.
As a result, learners receive Pancasila more as Aunormative memorizationAy rather than a Aureflective awarenessAy that is internalized into their daily behavior.
The internalization of Pancasila values in todayAos era of globalization is confronted not only with classical challenges such as intolerance, social inequality, and moral decadence, but also with new forms of national identity crises that are more subtle.
One such phenomenon is Aupseudonationalism,Ay which proliferates through social media, where nationalistic sentiment is often hijacked for sectarian political or group This phenomenon is dangerous because it distorts the original meaning of Pancasila nationalismAiwhich is inclusive and humanisticAiinto a narrow nationalism that is exclusive and suspicious of diversity.
Cultural globalization has also given rise to a generation that is more globally connected yet less rooted locally.
a generation of Auglobal citizensAy who tend to identify more with international culture than with national If not balanced with strong character education based on Pancasila, this condition may foster cultural alienation and a diminishing sense of belonging to the Indonesian nation.
Another emerging challenge is the rise of an Auinstant cultureAy among the younger generation, which erodes Pancasila principles such as hard work, deliberation, and social justice, replacing them with an instant, hyper-competitive mindset devoid of ethics and driven by shortterm results.
This instant culture, if left producing a generation weak in ethical commitment, shallow in values, and fragile in integrity (Wicaksono, 2.

Family and community education, which should serve as vital spaces for character formation, often escape the attention of the On the other hand, the proliferation of cultureAicarrying permissive, consumeristic, and hypercompetitive values devoid of solidarityAi worsens the alienation of Pancasila values among the younger generation (Santoso.
This situation is further aggravated by the rise of factional information warfare, where certain actors utilize digital media to disseminate narratives of disintegration, radicalism, and intolerance by distorting national values.
If Pancasila-based education is not systematically and adaptively revitalized, the nationAos younger generation will lose its anchor of national identity.
According to Sunarso .
, the reinforcement of Pancasila within education cannot proceed through conventional or merely ceremonial methods.
Rather, it requires a strategy of re-actualizing Pancasila values through interactive, contextual, and experiential approaches that engage the learners' intellect, emotions, and actions.
Character education must become a living space for the nationAos noble values, not merely rhetorical content in training modules.
The principal challenge in internalizing Pancasila as a moral foundation in the field of education lies in building an educational ecosystem that truly enlivens Pancasila values in everyday lifeAiwithin the curriculum, interpersonal school interactions, academic evaluation systems, and, most importantly, through the real-life examples set by educators and national leaders.
Without this.
Pancasila will remain a sacred text distant from the actual practice of nationhood and statehood.
Opportunities dissolves geographical, cultural, and local value boundaries, the opportunity to internalize Pancasila as the nationAos A philosophical foundation is, paradoxically, becoming ever more expansive.
Pancasila, as a living and dynamic value system, holds the capacity to transform into a robust ethical foundation and cultural identity amidst the powerful currents of global integration.
The massive digitalization era provides new spaces for the creative and adaptive internalization of Pancasila values.

The national curriculum must be oriented towards contextually integrating Pancasila valuesAinot only through specific subjects but throughout the entire learning ecosystem, from teaching methods and school culture to interpersonal interactions in educational environments.
Learning models that prioritize collaboration, empathy, deliberation, and respect for differences constitute tangible manifestations of Pancasila values that can be deeply rooted in studentsAo consciousness, thus shaping a sovereign national identity amidst a homogenized global culture.

Indonesia can not only enhance its image globally but also contribute ideologically to global efforts in promoting justice, human rights, and world The advancement of information technology, while posing the risk of exposure to negative content and transnational ideologies that may incite intolerance, also presents a valuable opportunity to expand the practice of Pancasila values within the digital public sphere.
Utilizing social media as a forum for deliberation to strengthen unity, social justice, respect for fundamental rights, and humanitarian solidarity becomes increasingly crucial.
Through creative approaches such as digital storytelling, valuedriven campaigns led by credible influencers, and the formation of virtual communities rooted in Pancasila principles, cyberspace can be transformed into a productive battlefield of values that reinforce national identity.

Pancasila has the potential to become a moral anchor safeguarding national social cohesion.
Moreover.
Pancasila values into technology-based participatory governance can enhance the quality of democracy in Indonesia.
The digitalization of public decision-making processes via online forums, e-voting, and eparticipation when synchronized with principles of deliberation, social justice, and respect for diversity, will expand democratic spaces for inclusive political participation.
Public engagement that internalizes Pancasila values will ensure that national development remains oriented toward substantive justice, human dignity, and the strengthening of social solidarity within the framework of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
Globalization should not be seen as a threat to the existence of Pancasila.
rather, it can serve as a catalyst for renewing, internalization of Pancasila values across all facets of national life.

Pancasila must function as a transformative spirit guiding Indonesia to become a modern nation firmly rooted in noble and universal local values.
In the midst of a global civilization marked by value relativism.
Pancasila presents a fundamentally greater opportunity not merely to preserve national identity but to inspire the formation of a new, cosmopolitan identity that is locally grounded yet universally oriented.
The internalization of Pancasila values must go beyond traditional boundaries, transforming the spirit of nationhood into a global ethos.
The value of Belief in the One and Only God, for instance, can be interpreted as a universal spiritual foundation that embraces humanityAos religious pluralism.
The value of Just and Civilized Humanity may serve as a counternarrative to the global dehumanization brought about by extreme capitalism and ideological fanaticism.
The Unity of Indonesia should be seen not only as a national aspiration but also as IndonesiaAos active contribution to global solidarity founded on justice and civility.

Pancasila will not only serve as a fortress of identity but also as a guiding torch illuminating IndonesiaAos path into global civilization with heads held high, spirits free, and hearts full of compassion.
CONCLUSION
Research indicates that the values of Pancasila function not only as the foundational principles of the state but also as a moral compass within education, capable of shaping studentsAo character in confronting the challenges of intolerance.
Students who served as respondents acknowledged the significance of Pancasila in fostering a harmonious social life.
Nevertheless, the practical implementation of these values in everyday life continues to face a range of Although formal instruction of Pancasila through academic approaches has been adequately conducted in educational institutions, including at Atma Jaya University Yogyakarta, the primary challenge lies in the individualAos comprehension and willingness to internalize and practice these values in response to contemporary issues of In a broader understanding, tolerance represents an essential value embedded within Pancasila.
Strengthening this value through education may serve as a critical response to the rise of intolerance stemming from differences in ethnicity, religion, race, and cultural backgrounds.
It is therefore imperative to internalize Pancasila as a foundation for character education and national identity in order to counteract the negative influences of globalization and radicalism, both of which can trigger acts of intolerance within IndonesiaAos diverse Advice In confronting the challenges of intolerance in Indonesia, the following recommendations are presented in alignment with this research on the reinforcement of Pancasila values:
