This is what LSI Portsmouth did last year as our part towards the day, and it certainly made our lives happier 😉
In 2012 the UN declared the 20th March as the International Day of Happiness, aimed at making people from all walks of life’s lives better.
This is what they say on the official page:
“Aim
The day recognizes that happiness is a fundamental human goal, and calls upon countries to approach public policies in ways that improve the well being of all peoples.
By designating a special day for happiness, the UN aims to focus world attention on the idea that economic growth must be inclusive, equitable, and balanced, such that it promotes sustainable development, and alleviates poverty. Additionally the UN acknowledges that in order to attain global happiness, economic development must be accompanied by social and environmental well being.”
