Outdoor Office Day Australia
Outdoor Office Day is a global movement that started in the Netherlands in 2019 and is now spreading across continents, now including Australia. You are invited to make #urbannature and staying active a regular part of your working day. Even 15 minutes outdoors can transform your wellbeing, both mentally and physically. Tested and embraced in the Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Lithuania, Romania and beyond, this grassroots initiative shows us what's possible when we step outside. Now it's Australia's turn to join the movement. Welcome.
Did you know that nowadays we spend more than 90% of our time indoors - at home, work, and commuting - even though we developed and lived outdoors for 99.99% of our existence?
And that we spend approximately 90,000 hours at work during our lifetime?
Our bodies and minds simply aren't designed for that much indoor time. So perhaps it's time to experiment: how can we improve our ways of working and our environments so we can think, create, and feel better?
Outdoor Office Day doesn't require you to work outside all day. It can be celebrated in countless ways—through small actions that are convenient and available to you and your team. :)
