Screen users challenged to ditch their electronic fix next week
Everyone’s heard of the ice bucket or no makeup challenges shared online, but how about a challenge to stay away from social media and screens altogether?
From May 2 to 8, Saskatchewan in Motion is challenging every screen user to take part in screen free week.
Kendall Longtin, community relations co-ordinator, said screen free week is a worldwide event that’s about getting off screens and rediscovering the joys of life beyond the screen.
“(It’s) really just disconnecting and unplugging from digital entertainment and spending your free time doing other things whether that be playing with your kids or hanging out with family, reading or spending time outside,” Longtin said. “Anything that is interesting and exciting for you beyond the screen.”
