In this era driven by revolutionary technologies, WL Day 2024 invites the world to explore the transformative potential of leisure in the digital age. On this date, communities across the globe will explore the intersection of leisure and emerging technologies, such as the metaverse, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality, and the dynamic landscape of virtual leisure practices.
Fostering Well-Being in the Digital Age
But beyond mere exploration, WL Day 2024 will seek to unravel the profound impact of these technological frontiers on the fundamental aspects of our lives. From well-being and quality of life to community engagement and social relationships, the WL Day 2024 aims to dissect the implications through a multitude of events and activities, which will unfold globally, adopting varied formats that reflect the richness of leisure experiences.
Through this WL Day edition, from World Leisure Organization (WLO), we acknowledge the rapid evolution of leisure experiences and the need to incorporate emerging technologies in ways that enrich human life. We also pursuit to illustrate how digital advancements can complement traditional leisure activities, thereby enhancing community engagement, fostering social relationships, and improving well-being.
Navigating Challenges in Digital Leisure
WLO, in organizing the WL Day 2024, firmly upholds its mission to promote leisure as an essential element of human life, integral to personal and community well-being. This initiative, grounded in the WLO’s mission and vision, is a call to action to acknowledge and harness the power of digital leisure in a way that enriches cultural exchange, social integration, and global connectedness.
As the WLO embraces the digital connections in leisure, it also recognizes the importance of addressing the potential challenges that come with these advancements.

We are dedicated to fostering any leisure experience, therefore digital experiences too, that promote inclusivity, community engagement, and active participation. WL Day 2024 will be about advocating for a future where digital leisure contributes positively to the quality of life without compromising the essence of human connectivity.
