'''Screen-Free Week''' (formerly '''TV Turnoff Week''' and '''Digital Detox Week''') is an annual event where children, families, schools and communities around the world are encouraged to turn off screens and "turn on life". Instead of relying on screen-related media such as [[television program]]ming or [[video game]]s for entertainment, participants read, daydream, explore, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends. Over 300 million people have taken part in the turnoff, with millions participating each year.

In 2010, [[Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood]] (CCFC) became the home of Screen-Free Week at the request of the Board of the Center for SCREEN-TIME Awareness (CSTA), which ran the initiative since 1994.  CCFC launched a new website and developed a new Organizer's Kit, fact sheets, and other materials for Screen-Free Week 2011 and beyond.  The Screen-Free Week Organizer's Kit is available as a free download.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.screenfree.org|title=Screen-Free Week|website=Screen-Free Week|access-date=2016-03-26}}</ref>
