At Youth Connect at the Y4S Hub during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, Exhale facilitated a reflection workshop titled “Mindful Tech: Disconnect to Reconnect,” led by Dimitra Asimakis.
Designed for global youth aged 15–35, the session explored the impact of digital overuse on mental wellbeing and introduced practical mindfulness and creative reflection tools. Through guided practices, participants were invited to pause, examine their relationship with technology, and reconnect with presence, clarity, and inner balance.
In a world shaped by constant connectivity, sustainability extends beyond systems and solutions — it begins with mentally well, self-aware individuals. Supporting youth to build healthier relationships with technology is an essential part of shaping resilient futures.
True sustainability starts within.
