Participants gathered at an “Offline Club” event in Amsterdam, handing in their smartphones before taking part in a two-hour session focused on creative and social activities. The event took place in the Posthoornkerk, where attendees engaged in writing, crafting and listening to live piano music.
Organisers say the initiative aims to encourage people to disconnect from digital devices and focus on reflection and real-world interaction. The concept, launched in 2024, has expanded to multiple cities across Europe.
