Take action with us
Become a Happiness
Champion.
Social media can divide us. On March 20th, we're proving it doesn't have to. Join thousands of people taking coordinated action to spread genuine human connection — on the one day the world is watching happiness.
Why this matters — right now
The theme for International Day of Happiness 2026 is creating healthier, happier uses of social media. The need couldn't be more urgent. Algorithms reward outrage. Feeds amplify anxiety. The very platforms designed to connect us are, for too many people, doing the opposite.
We're not going to wait for the platforms to fix it. We're going to change it ourselves — together.
On March 20th, Action for Happiness is mobilising a community of Champions to flood social media with something it rarely sees: real, warm, genuine human connection. The science is clear — relationships are the single biggest driver of happiness. And when we act collectively, small actions create ripple effects that reach far beyond what any one of us could do alone.
What does "real connection" look like?
It means stepping away from passive scrolling and choosing active connection — reaching out to someone you've been meaning to contact, expressing gratitude, or simply being fully present with the people around you. These aren't grand gestures. They're the small, human moments that research consistently shows have the most impact on our happiness and the happiness of others. When thousands of us do them at the same time, it becomes a movement.
