The International Day of Happiness was established by the United Nations General Assembly on June 28, 2012, following a proposal by the Kingdom of Bhutan. Bhutan is a small country in the Himalayas that measures its progress not only by economic growth but also through a holistic approach called Gross National Happiness, which takes into account the spiritual, physical, and mental well-being of its citizens.
The idea behind the International Day of Happiness is to recognize the importance of happiness and well-being as universal human goals and to promote a more inclusive, equitable, and balanced approach to economic growth that can contribute to the happiness and well-being of all people.
Celebrated annually on March 20, the International Day of Happiness is a global event that encourages people to focus on the significance of happiness and well-being in their lives. The day aims to raise awareness about the importance of happiness for individuals and communities and to inspire action towards creating a happier and more compassionate world.
Various events and activities take place worldwide to celebrate the International Day of Happiness, including:
1. Acts of kindness: People are encouraged to perform acts of kindness, both big and small, to spread happiness in their communities.
2. Happiness initiatives: Governments, organizations, and institutions may launch initiatives or programs that promote happiness, mental health, and well-being.
3. Social media campaigns: Individuals and organizations share messages, images, and videos related to happiness, positivity, and well-being on social media platforms using the hashtag #InternationalDayOfHappiness.
