The workshop also highlighted the connection between dopamine fasting and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on: • Its contribution to Goal 4: Quality Education, by reducing digital distractions and enhancing concentration. • Its role in supporting Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, through encouraging sustainable learning methods that rely on the smart use of technology. • Its impact on Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities, by decreasing the digital gap among students and promoting better time investment in learning instead of passive digital consumption. The event witnessed strong engagement from participants, who expressed great interest in applying dopamine fasting strategies in their daily lives.
