Once a year, on World Children’s Day, we encourage all families in India to observe #GadgetFreeHour between 7:30 pm and 8:30 pm.
During this hour we urge parents, children, and their families to switch off all gadgets and spend time with each other – laughing, eating, playing, chatting, and experiencing the joy of connection.
#GadgetFreeHour campaign was first launched in 2019 to help parents and children experience the MAGIC and JOY of connection without any distractions.
This year, we’re back with a new, bigger edition of #GadgetFreeHour on World Children’s Day, November 20, 2021.
Just 60 minutes of connecting with your children and family will help you create memories for a lifetime.
Take the pledge to stay away from gadgets and spend time together on #GadgetFreeHour between 7:30 pm and 8:30 pm on World Children’s Day, November 20, 2021
A fun engagement activity urging people to laugh out loud with their children and take videos of these hilarious family moments. We encourage them to post these videos on their social media pages with #HahaHeheChallenge and #GadgetFreeHour tags and spread the word among their friends to take up the challenge.
