Q&A

What is the purpose of the Picnic & Reconnect campaign?

To combat screen fatigue and social isolation among Gen Z by encouraging young Londoners to unplug and embrace outdoor experiences through inclusive activities in urban green spaces

What activities can I expect at events?

Choose from board games (chess/checkers/UNO), lighthearted sports (badminton), DIY outdoor games, and mindful workshops fostering genuine connections

How can I participate in the UnplugChallenge

Share your outdoor moments on TikTok with #UnplugChallenge and show your transition from digital screens to nature engagement – creative entries may be featured on our social media

Is there a cost to attend events

Most activities are free, aligning with our goal of accessible outdoor wellness. Check signage at partner locations (Patagonia stores, universities) for specific details

Where are the events held

Events take place in London parks and green spaces, with posters and QR codes providing real-time updates at universities, cafes, and Patagonia stores

How does sustainability factor into the campaign

We prioritise eco-conscious practices: partner brands focus on sustainable gear, and activities minimise waste (e.g., reusable picnic supplies)
