Students Challenge Themselves to 48 Hours Offline to Combat Internet Addiction

A new campaign, "Further from the phone, closer to yourself," is encouraging students to take a break from the digital world. Launched by the Twarze Depresji Foundation and promoted by Teleexpress TVP, the #offline48h challenge asks students to disconnect from the internet and social media for 48 hours. The campaign aims to raise awareness about internet addiction and its impact on young people's mental well-being. "We need to help young people find a balance between their online and offline lives," says a representative from the Twarze Depresji Foundation. The video promoting the campaign showcases various activities students can engage in during their digital detox, such as reading, spending time with friends and family, and engaging in creative pursuits. The campaign's message is simple yet powerful: taking a break from technology can lead to improved mental well-being and stronger relationships. The challenge is gaining traction on social media, with many students sharing their experiences using the #offline48h hashtag.
