IPRA − How IPRA and UNESCO shaped the world of PR

In an article recalling how the fall of the Berlin wall sent ripples around the world of communication, former IPRA president (1988) and co-founder of ORBICOM (1994 - International Network of UNESCO Chairs in Communication), Alain Modoux explains how IPRA and UNESCO shaped the world of public relations by promoting dialogue over conflict.

Noting the recent launch of the 'International Declaration of Communications Professionals and Researchers for a Healthier, Viable, Better World', he declares: "This relationship remains relevant today. Orbicom’s 2021 declaration on communication endorsed by IPRA is here (link)". Key historical information to discover.
