The third annual Screen-Free Week is April 29 to May 5. Challenge
staff, parents, and students to turn off
your cell phones, TVs, and iPads to spend more quality face-to-face time.
Screen-Free Week (formerly TV Turnoff Week and Digital Detox
Week) is an annual event where children, families, schools and communities are
encouraged to turn off screens and "turn on life." Instead of relying
on television programming for entertainment, participants read, daydream,
explore, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends. Over 100 million
people have taken part in the turnoff, with millions participating each year.
In 2010, Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC)
became the home of Screen-Free Week at the request of the Board of the Center
for SCREEN-TIME Awareness (CSTA), which ran the initiative since 1994 (first as
TV-Free America). CCFC launched a new website and developed a new Organizer's
Kit, fact sheets, and other materials for Screen-Free Week 2011 and beyond. The
Screen-Free Week Organizer's Kit is available as a free download.
