World Digital Detox Day Organization Announces Theme for 2023
The World Digital Detox Day Organization is excited to reveal the theme for the upcoming World Digital Detox Day 2023: “Reviving the Art of Personal Connection.” Under this theme, WDDD, along with over 60 global ambassadors, is embarking on a mission to encourage everyone to write a postcard letter with a wellness digital detox message to their respective country’s Prime Minister. This initiative aims to achieve two significant goals: first, to rekindle the personal touch of handwriting letters to loved ones, and, second, to urge each country’s leader to prioritize “digital detox” awareness at a national level.
With the enthusiastic participation of ambassadors from 60 countries, this year’s theme promises to be a dynamic and impactful campaign. World Digital Detox Day, celebrated annually on December 10th, is dedicated to inspiring people worldwide to disconnect from technology and reconnect with friends and loved ones in person. Participants are also encouraged to take the WDDD Oath together.
Established in June 2016 in India, World Digital Detox Day has since evolved into an international movement. The organization has spent seven years promoting digital wellness and balance and is now in its third year as an international initiative. Their programs include Digital Detox Education aimed at educating youth about the importance of device-free time for mental health and well-being. Moreover, the foundation has provided opportunities for women working in the wellness industry and has positively impacted the lives of thousands of children through various programs, expert talks, webinars, and counseling services provided by experts worldwide.
Building on the successes of previous years, with the second year as an international event and the sixth year since its inception in India, World Digital Detox Day in 2023 aims to reinvigorate meaningful in-person connections that have become increasingly rare in our tech-centric world. As part of this theme, handwritten letters will be sent to Prime Ministers worldwide, symbolizing a commitment to more personal communication.
Dr. Rekha Chaudhari, the visionary founder of the World Digital Detox Day Organization, states, “Our lives have become slaves to the digital world, constantly browsing, binge-watching, and seeking validation on social media. This has led to a unique epidemic of digital addiction. World Digital Detox Day offers an opportunity for people around the world to strengthen their personal relationships by dedicating time to connect in person, free from the distractions of devices.”
The recently concluded Global Ambassadors Meeting on October 30-31 united digital wellness advocates and experts from around 60 countries, reinforcing their shared commitment to promoting reduced tech usage and fostering in-person social interaction, setting the stage for a remarkable 2023 event.
60 Countries all Ambassadors and Dr. Chaudhari invites everyone to “Join us on this inspiring journey towards digital wellness and make a profound impact on your own life and the lives of those around you. Together, let us celebrate World Digital Detox Day and focus on our well-being and personal connections.”
