Participants’ Voices
“I enjoyed Project Happiness because it allowed me to reflect upon my thoughts and notice how I am built emotionally. It helped me understand myself so that I could become a more positive person.”
“Recently I went through an anger stage, and I just stepped back, took a deep breath, and realized that it wasn’t worth getting upset over the situation. Project Happiness taught me the tools to do that. Thank you for everything!”
“I couldn’t be more happier to realize who I am and what I represent and that I shouldn’t be afraid to be myself or be different than my friends, that being different makes me unique.”
“I just wanted to tell you that this work is honest, and incredibly meaningful and helps people like me believe that there is hope. (Especially during those times when I feel all hope is lost.)”
Teachers Speak
“… a great set of resources and walk throughs of emotional intelligence and self awareness of inner struggles and conflicts and how that can relate at the levels of families, communities or nations. It also harmonizes with International Baccalaureate’s goals for diversity of ways of thinking and understanding across cultures.”
“Project Happiness could be offered as a whole course, but could also be woven into many different courses like health, psychology, humanities, sociology, global citizenship…”
“Many students feel unworthy…unworthy of love and friendship and incapable of self acceptance. Often happiness within individuals, schools and/or communities has been diluted, dismantled, and destroyed in a way that has altered one’s internal happiness. Project Happiness targets the internal perceptions of people despite their environment. It provides ways of believing in one’s self and encompassing a true happiness that promotes long term positive change.”
“It definitely gets the kids’ attention. It’s highly engaging … and that’s an understatement.”
