The era of Society 5.0, which integrates the physical and digital worlds, has given rise to new challenges to Indonesia's national identity. The rise of hoaxes, social polarization, and the erosion of Pancasila values among the younger generation are indications of an identity crisis that requires a swift and strategic response. This scientific article aims to analyze the urgency of the role of students and to propose a model for patriotic digital collaboration in maintaining national identity. Using a literature study method and a thematic synthesis analysis approach, this scientific article was compiled by reviewing various relevant primary and secondary sources. Data analysis was carried out using reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results of the study in this scientific article indicate that students have a strategic position as a link between the digital world and national values. The results of the research through this scientific article are a proposed idea in the form of "Digital-Patriotic Collaboration" which consists of five main pillars, namely: Critical Digital Literacy, Creators of Cultural Content and Values, Digital Social Activists, Guardians of Digital Ethics and Morals; and Public Policy Innovators. These five pillars demonstrate that students are not only required to be technologically proficient but also to become " Cultural Digital Intermediaries " who actively translate Pancasila values into relevant and contemporary digital forms. Thus, students' role is not merely defensive (fighting hoaxes) but also proactive (building a digital national identity)
