Abstract

Social Media Week (SMW) is an annual event by the Department of Communication and Public Relations, Swiss German University, which explores influence of social media and technology in this digital era. Therefore, as part of the Event Management course, the 2016 Social Media Week is organized by semester 5 students of Communication and Public Relations, and is expected to be the platform for the students to showcase their talents, creativity, communication and project management skills.

Since the first time, SMW has become the trade mark of the Department of Communication and Public Relations at SGU. Therefore, the Department always seeks to make improvements every year. Especially because 2016 marks the 10 year anniversary of the CommPR Department. This is the reason for this year's theme: "A Decade of Communication Excellence".
The 2016 SMW was held on November 8-10, 2016. There are 3 strong foundations in creating this event: Community service, Education, and Entertainment. Thus, the first two days of this event are filled with workshops aimed at high school students, as part of our community service endeavors. There are several workshops in this SMW that aim to provide many benefits for the participants, where the participants can learn communication skills, and gain experiences to increase their self-confidence. Such workshops include: 1. Photography and Videography; 2. Confidence Gaining; 3. E-Commerce; and, 4. Public Speaking.
