About the Event
Topic:
Nowadays, people are gathered in big cities, abandoning the rural areas, in
terms of employability, better quality of life and health system. For this
reason, people become familiarized to industrial and digital way of life,
thinking that everything is easily consumed and found.
With this project we want to reconnect humans with nature because humans
nowadays are quite isolated from it. We think that with school, work,
hobbies and social media our life is very hectic and we need to learn how to
slow down.
Moreover we are worried about the amount people are using their mobile
phones nowadays, everyone needs to be connected all the time. This can
cause stress and unnecessary hustle. The rapid progress of technology tend to
make people behave like machines.
However, our real needs are different, we need to be close to nature,
respect its rules and live with a human rhythm.
