What backs it

Fifteen restaurants in Sardinia have joined a one-month pilot scheme called 'A tavola senza schermi' (At the table without screens), spearheaded by the island's children's ombudsman, that requires families to put away phones and devices during meals in exchange for 'reunion kits' with games designed to spark conversation between parents and children.

Worth noting

This is a one-month pilot with 15 volunteer restaurants; longer-term impact is unknown.
