About

In an age of endless notifications and rolling news, many of us feel permanently switched on.

In an age of endless notifications and rolling news, many of us feel permanently switched on.

Mental health campaigner Sophia Kaur Badhan, neuroscientist Faye Begeti and author and activist Charli Clement explore whether, with rising rates of burnout, reclaiming 'analogue' moments could help us switch off, reset and reconnect.

Why does constant connectivity leave us drained? What does relentless scrolling do to our brains and attention spans? While social media is often associated with young people, over-65s are now among the heaviest users of digital devices, underlining how widespread digital overwhelm has become.

Why is it that, despite unprecedented levels of online connection, many of us feel lonelier than ever? As a growing number of people experiment with 'going analogue' - embracing offline hobbies, face-to-face community and slower living - our panel explores whether stepping back from screens can genuinely restore balance or if the solution is more complex.

There will be a book signing after this event.
