Every first weekend of March since 2009, Global Day of Unplugging hosts the Annual GDU – a worldwide 24-hour digital pause where people and communities power down devices and power on real-world connection. Whether you unplug for one hour or the full 24, solo or with a group, this is your chance to step into a global moment of authentic human connection.
