Take action with us
Become a Happiness
Champion.
The 20th March is the International Day of Happiness (IDOH), and we are inviting you to step up and be a Happiness Champion.
This year’s theme is Happiness and Social Media. Social media has the potential to connect us, but it can also divide us, creating outrage and division.
To celebrate the day, Action for Happiness is mobilising our community. We are asking you to help turn the tide and take collective action against the trend of division, through acts of "real connection."
Real Connection
Research shows that our connection to others, through small encounters or deep relationships, is key to supporting our wellbeing and creating a happier world.
Real connection means making space to give our greatest resources, our time and attention, to another person. If we are willing to go slightly outside of our comfort zone and normal routine, we can genuinely impact another person’s life.
It doesn’t require huge gestures. Small, human moments of feeling seen and cared for have the greatest impact on our own happiness and the happiness of others.
The ripple effect
The impact of these actions can go far beyond a single person or a single interaction. When we receive an act of kindness, or even when we witness or hear about one, we are more likely to pay it forward and do the same for others.
By taking action to create moments of real connection with the people around us, and inspiring them to do the same, we can create a tidal wave of positive change.
When thousands of us act simultaneously, we can shift culture and shape a new global landscape of happiness.
