Ready to Hit Pause on Digital Chaos? Check Out The #DisconnectReconnect Event
Gibraltar’s second DisconnectReconnect event will take place next month.
A statement from the organisers continued:
“In a world saturated with screens and digital distractions, it's time to take a breath, unplug, and reconnect with nature and ourselves. That's why we're thrilled to announce the second-ever DisconnectReconnect event, set to take place on Sunday, April 7th, 2024.
"The event is a collaboration with Whole Wild World, GibSams and OTWO. This immersive event aims to raise awareness about the vital role nature plays in our mental wellbeing. Whether you're a seasoned outdoor enthusiast or just looking for a refreshing change of pace, DisconnectReconnect offers something for everyone.
“Attendees can look forward to a variety of activities, including:
- Wild Walks: Explore Gibraltar's urban wildlife on a scenic 5KM journey, collect stamps along the way, and enter our prize draw.
- Running Wild: Join the Corre Libre running club for a 5KM adventure.
- Wild Bikers: Embark on a 5KM cycling excursion through picturesque surroundings.
- Wild Nutters Rock Run: Witness our ‘Barefoot Impact’ runners conquer a monumental 50KM run/crawl around the rock. (Contact us directly to join this run).
“All activities start at Casemates from 10am-11am and culminate at Europa Point (from 11am-4pm), where participants can enjoy our Pop-up Mini Forest created with help from the Gibraltar Horticultural Society HM Prison & Gibraltar Training Centre), peruse Wild Stalls, and engage in Wild Performance & Workshops led by Recycled Junkies (Nathan STOMP Conroy) and upcycled crafts with Eco-decor by Ireana.
