26 March 2012: The Global Day of Slow Living
At its sixth edition the Global Day of Slow Living comes back: a collective reflection on the economic, social, environmental damages caused by everyday frenetic life style in such a difficult, confused and uncertain period of human life.
In this occasion everybody is invited to create a tiny/big reflection moment to gather its forces and skills in order to find the courage to change our World from its grounds. Everyone can participate in its own town together with its relatives, colleagues and friends.
Ideas, proposals and the events people would like to organize will be published on our Web site, our Facebook page, on Twitter and Youtube so that we can share them with the other Slow Living thinkers.
Slowly living is a work in progress open source project developing itself day by day thanks to all of our contributions.
Every year more than 100 events around the World take place on the Global Day of Slow Living.
In the latest editions the GDSL had its biggest event in Milan, New York, Tokio, Shanghay. In the 2011 it was in New York again to award the City initiatives for getting a better citizens’ life quality, such as closing Times Square to the traffic and turning the High Line (a former railway track) into a green walk across the City.
This year we are in London, thanks to both its choice to build cycling paths, its projects about electrical cars and its effort to create social and cultural cohesion.
In the last week of March, open air initiatives will take place to invite people to take a break which, afterwards, will enable them to go on in their lives with more self confidence.
