Together we are the softest protest
against the exhaustion of people and planet.
We live in a world that keeps speeding up. From fast fashion to fast food, from constant notifications to endless advertising, we are encouraged to consume more, produce more, perform more and always be “on”. This comes with clear consequences: rising stress, insomnia, burnout and anxiety, while ecosystems are pushed beyond their limits and planetary boundaries are being exceeded. We are undermining both our own wellbeing and the livability of the planet. It raises a simple question: who benefits from a system where “enough” no longer seems to exist? Slow Up is our response: a collective moment to slow down, reflect, and question how we organize our lives, our work and our economy.
By slowing up together, we send a clear collective signal: this pace is not sustainable.
Sign up and stay up to date on how and where you can join Slow Up.
Everyone who participates sends the same message:
“We are outrunning ourselves and the planet. And I protest this.”
Le week-end des 24 et 25 octobre 2026, à l'occasion du passage à l'heure d'hiver, nous invitons tout le monde à ralentir le rythme pendant 25 heures. Nous utilisons le « bed-in » comme symbole pour protester contre une société qui vit à un rythme effréné. Mais vous n’avez pas besoin de rester au lit tout le week-end pour participer à cette action. Choisissez la formule qui vous semble la plus confortable et la plus accessible.
Chez vous ou dans l’un de nos lieux de rendez-vous.
Imagine the whole country slowed down for 25 hours.
Invite friends and family to Slow Up too. The bigger our movement, the stronger our message.
Want to go all the way? Create your own sleepover or slowed down activity at your sports club, at work, in your school.
Slow Up is more than a 25-hour protest. It can be the beginning of doing things differently.
You don’t need to be an expert or an activist to contribute. Everyone has something to bring.
