LOLO Crew & Friends presents:
Join us for a 5 week social experiment :
What would happen if we spend less time at home scrolling and more time in the world connecting with one another??
The Crisis
Today, only 30% of Americans socialize on any given day. As of 2023, young people spend 45% more time alone than 15 years earlier. Two-thirds of Americans under 30 believe most people can't be trusted. According to Sherry Turkle, even time together with others is compromised by our connected devices, which make us less present to those around us.
The Hypothesis
People need to spend time connecting together in order to reverse feelings of isolation and separation, and to improve mental, physical, and emotional health.
The Method
5 weeks of events curated for connection!Events are mostly free or donation based. Some events are ticketed. Check website for more details.Many events are facilitated and may have specific programming. Other events are self-guided public events.**Join us for just one event or many!
