A global movement called The Offline Club is challenging people to go phone-free for 24 hours on World Mental Health Day. The group started organising phone-free hangouts in Amsterdam. Ironically, it has grown worldwide through social media, with hundreds of thousands of followers and members attending events in a dozen cities. Ilya Kneppelhout, the co-founder of The Offline Club, explains what it was like to first go phone-free.
