GLOBAL HAPPY CAFÉ
Over the past twelve months we have established a highly successful Happy Café in Dorset. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the current lockdown in the UK, we have now moved to a virtual meeting using Zoom and meet online twice a month. It provides an opportunity to discuss a number of important issues relating to happiness, mental health and wellbeing in society. We are now reaching out to a wider audience and have launched the Global Happy Café starting from 1st July.
Concept: Act locally, think globally!
A monthly 60-minute Zoom meeting that brings together people from around the world to share our successful brand of Happy Café meetings.
Objective: How can we be happier?
Our aim is to develop a fellowship of likeminded people from around the world interested in increasing happiness and improving mental health and wellbeing, promoting the Action for Happiness Ten Keys to Happier Living, and discussing the future of society following the Corona virus pandemic.
