“…According to the authors' model, the slow lifestyle is a way of promoting an ethical lifestyle, acting and showing admiration and generosity through attitudes and actions. This was later supported in other studies as a conscious lifestyle, with meaning and purpose, giving primacy to the quality and pleasure of living (Ball 2015;Botta 2016;Lamb 2019;Petrini 2007). Lamb (2019), in his recent study on slow living, interviewed 18 people, from different geographical locations, who had adopted the slow living style for 2 years or more.…”

“…In this way, slow food gave rise to a much broader movement, the slow movement. Currently we can see that the movement has extended to other contexts such as slow university (O'Neill 2014), slow fashion (Fletcher 2010;Legere and Kang 2020), slow living (Botta 2016;Lamb 2019;Parkins 2004;Parkins and Craig 2006), slow cities (Ball 2015;Farelnik and Stanowicka 2016;Miele 2008;Pink 2008), slow tourism (Heitmann et al 2011;Fullagar et al 2012), slow journalism (Le Masurier 2015), slow travel (Dickinson et al 2011), slow philosophy (Trakakis 2018), and slow science (Owens 2013).…”

The global acceleration of the pace of life has led to an increase in working hours, time pressure, and intensification of work tasks in organisations, with consequences for the physical and psychological health of workers. This acceleration and its consequences make it especially relevant to consider the principles of the slow movement and how they can be applied to the work context, focusing on the importance of slowing down the current pace of work and its implications for the sustainability of people and organisations. The key purpose of this study is to define the concept of slow work and understand its relationship with individual and organisational factors in order to extract the structuring dimensions, enabling its empirical study and practical application. Using grounded theory methodology, we conducted 12 semi-structured interviews with leaders of organisations from different sectors. Data analysis was performed using the MAXQDA programme. It was concluded that slow work is a way of working that respects the balance between individual rhythms and the objectives of the organisation, in favour of the sustainability of both parties, and that advocates qualitative goals, thinking time, individual recovery, purpose, and the humanisation of work. The main contribution is the conceptualisation of a construct that may be used in future studies, as well as in the development of organisational policies promoting the slow work culture.

“…Do ponto de vista do Slow Living, entende-se que essa vertente se relaciona mais diretamente com os ODS 3, 8, 11 e 12. Referente ao ODS 3 -Saúde e Bem-Estar, ele tem como meta promover estilos de vida mais saudáveis e equilibrados, com uma alimentação mais natural e a prática regular de atividades físicas (Lamb, 2019), influenciando diretamente na promoção da na prevenção de doenças e promoção da saúde mental. O que leva ao ODS 8 -Trabalho Decente e Crescimento Econômico e seu foco em trabalho justo para todas as pessoas.…”

This article aims to analyze and compare aspects of the Slow Movement that relate to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the UN. To achieve this, three strands of the Slow Movement were investigated: Slow Design, Slow Living and Cittaslow. The methodological procedures involved a literature review and comparative analysis of the practices associated with each strand with the relevant SDGs. The results indicate that the Slow Movement has a coherent approach with several SDGs, such as Sustainable Consumption and Production, Health and Well-Being, Sustainable Cities and Communities and Action Against Global Climate Change. The results indicate that adopting the Slow Movement can make a significant contribution to a more equitable, healthy and sustainable future, where valuing quality, connecting with the community and respecting the environment are central priorities in the search for a more conscious and resilient world.

“…Destaca-se, portanto, a ausência de investigações significativas na esfera do design. Esta lacuna ressaltou a importância de explorar e expandir a pesquisa nesse campo, uma vez que o design pode desempenhar um papel crucial na formação de ambientes que possam facilitar a adoção de estilos de vida mais lentos, promovendo uma maior conexão com o 2004; Klung, 2018;Lamb, 2019).…”

The aim of this article is to identify characteristics and concepts related to the Slow Living movement, allowing it to be understood as a relevant and promising phenomenon of resistance in a fast-paced society. Gaining a better understanding of it will allow us to reflect on how to use it on design processes. To achieve this goal, a systematic literature review was carried out in various academic databases, including scientific articles, books and other sources. The selected studies directly addressed the topic of Slow Living, providing significant insights into its characteristics and applications in different contexts. It allowed us to understand that Slow Living is essentially a lifestyle proposal adopted by people who seek to slow down the pace of their daily lives in various spheres of life, work, leisure, food, etc. However, the results of the review indicate that Slow Living is a concept that is still emerging and under-explored in the scientific literature.
