Elevating human connection

over digital engagement

Global Day of Unplugging 2024

March 1-2 sundown to sundown

We are here to answer the US Surgeon General’s call to end loneliness and eager to help you up your game with your tech habits.

Since 2009, Global Day of Unplugging has been celebrated annually in March. Whether it is 1 hour or 24 hours, at some point during the first weekend of March, people all over the world, will step away from their screens and intentionally shift into an offline activity, an in-person interaction, a real-life gathering or simply a meaningful conversation about their relationship with technology. Below are some ways that YOU can be the change you want to see.
