Abstract

The cultural changes that took place in recent centuries have led to the appearance of several models of spending free time that highlight the wish of an individual to dispose of his/her own time organized in the most original way. Spending free time as well as recreation is often considered a state of mind, during which the individual experiences a process of transformation marked by freedom of choice and personal enrichment. If free time is used judiciously, it becomes a means of forming human personality and permanent education. The moment the sanitary COVID-19 crisis appeared, humanity found itself in a new context, completely unusual, totally atypical for the existing civilization. Despite the unimaginable power of the new intelligent, sophisticated, advanced technologies it possesses, humanity has suddenly found itself powerless when faced with the new challenge, unprecedented in history. The concern came from the severity of the disease, but especially from its very aggressive contagion: a simple sneeze, even normal breathing in relation with other people can transmit the disease. However, the lack of means of prevention and treatment of the new disease accentuated the collective state of panic and confusion (Zamfir, Zamfir, 2020, p. 6). There are studies that show that the first immediate impact of Coronavirus was recorded on the way of living/ lifestyle of people, by the sudden change of habits regarding the organization of professional and free time.
