Track Project Happiness in the Project Happiness blog
Between now and the end of the year, students participating in the Project Happiness pilot test will be sharing their experiences of the program on the Project Happiness blog. This blog also contains a series of articles on the US and Nigerian students’ visit to India (in 2007) - when they met with the Dalai Lama and interviewed him about happiness. This journey is a central theme of the Project Happiness documentary film. This year, new classes in California, Canada, and two locations in India are testing the Project Happiness Handbook (which was completed in October), and will communicate through email and video. Teachers who would like to help test these materials now, or beginning in January, can contact Maria Lineger about participating in this program. |
