A friendly, hands-on bootcamp. Strategies, conversation and tools to help you use your phone better, and reclaim your real life.
About this Event

Your phone is a vital tool, and it keeps you connected to people. But sometimes you can't put it down. You seem to be having less meaningful time with friends and family. And what would you do with those hours of your life if you weren't watching TikTok videos?
You are not alone. Join us for a cheerful bootcamp to help you cut down your screen time and reconnect with real life. We'll use conversation, questions and suggestions to help you use your phone less, and make a tailor-made plan to get back your real connections with old and new friends.

This Birmingham meet-up is packed with activities, chat and practical tips to make your days less about apps and more about happiness. Hang out, give your thumbs a break - and build a better relationship with your phone.
