Barcelona Time Use Initiative for a Healthy Society

Xarxa Nust

The Barcelona Time Use Initiative for a Healthy Society aims to bring about a change in the organization of daily schedules to promote well-being and good coexistence, taking advantage of the momentum of the profound transformations that Catalonia is currently experiencing.

We seek to influence the reform of schedules in such a way that they are adapted to more human and civic times, within the framework of the impulse of the Catalonia that is to come. We work to consolidate time as a relevant variable in the search for growth and well-being.

This initiative is based on the values of well-being, calmness, coherence, dialogue, happiness, flexibility, equality, slowness, memory, agreement, progress, responsibility, serenity, and sobriety.

The three main objectives are:

  • To recover the two-hour time difference in relation to the rest of the world.
  • To promote a new culture of time in organizations in favor of more efficient and productive models.
  • To recover the GMT time zone that corresponds to Barcelona based on its geographical location.
