Creating your own Happiness Wall is simple and easy to do—have fun by getting crafty with borders and colors!
Celebrate the International Day of Happiness March 20!
To honor this day, the Live Happy team encourages you to join other happy activists around the world in hosting a Happiness Wall! It can be at your local school, office, business, park or other public spaces (with permission) where passersby can write how they share happiness with others. Embrace your creativity and inspire others in your community to change the world. It’s easy! Learn more at happyacts.org and tell us where you are putting up a wall at happyacts.org/map.
