Areas covered include team building, conducting the survey, media and communications, objective metrics, data gathering, report writing, town meeting planning and facilitation, project management, individual happiness projects, community happy projects, public relations and marketing and fundraising. You receive a Happiness Initiative Leadership Training certification for full attendance of the course.

Day One: 10 am - 5 pm

Mindfulness for Happiness: starting the day  at 10 am with 30 minutes of optional mindfulness session starting at 9:30 and ending 5 min before the day starts training.

Morning Session:
Giving a Happiness Talks: a lesson in action We will give the happiness talk that has been presented at Bioneers, Balaton Group, and at many non-profits and campuses. The aim of this talk will be for participants to walk away able to give these sessions. We will give pointers at critical junctures and discuss the session in a group setting.  This is a highly interactive session where people will have a change to learn about the happiness movement, the GNH Index and gain tips on how to give talks and presentations.

Lunch with open dialogue and conversation questions.

Afternoon Session:
How to Conduct a Happiness Initiative: the nuts and bolts   We will go over the logistics of conducting a happiness initiative. This includes team building, timelines, subjective metrics, including the need for subjective metrics, and review of wellbeing surveys, objective indicators, happiness report card writing and levels of data analysis, conducting outreach to immigrant and refugee and other underserved peoples, conducting town meetings, projects and policy changes & final comprehensive report writing.  

Day one wrap-up: We will go over what we covered during the day and plan for the next.


Day Two: 11 am (10:30 optional mindfulness session) - 3 pm

Morning Session:
Who, What, Why and Where: the Global Happiness and Wellbeing Movement  This session will cover the science, policy and civic actions behind the happiness movement. We will review activities at the governmental level in Bhutan, the UK, Brazil and France. We will delve into the science that supports this movement, and provide resources for the participants use. The importance and need for subjective metrics will be explored. We will then survey the various NGOs in the EU and the US active in the GNH movement. We will finish with small team and all group discussions about the science, policy and civic action, and how to communicate this to those who are not aware of the movement, from scientists, policy makers and the media to everyday people.

Late Lunch

Afternoon Session:
Personal Happiness and Happiness in Policy: exploring the link  We will revisit the global happiness and wellbeing movement launched this April at the UN NYC headquarters, and the connection between well-being and compassion & altruism. We will survey positive psychology findings. We will then use the Happiness Policy screening tool to explore impacts of a scenario so as to get familiar with how Bhutan is using this process.
