CYBERBREAK 2023: SIGN UP & GET INVOLVED!


Friday, October 20th 2023 was our fourth CyberBreak!

We asked families across Ireland to ditch their smart devices for 24 hrs from 5pm Friday, 20th Oct to 5pm Saturday, 21st Oct, 2023.

CyberBreak, proudly sponsored by HSE, is open to families and schools as a fun, interactive way for kids, parents and teachers to reflect on how much time they spend online and to promote a healthy online and offline balance. It's also a good opportunity to just take a break from the online world and 'disconnect to reconnect'!
