What is Happiness Project?
The idea of happiness has undergone a radical transformation, going beyond the traditional metrics of money and power. There is now a global focus on the physical as well as mental well-being of individuals, which consequently, enables them to better stakeholders in the community. On behalf of it we have introduced a model comprising of a community organisation in the form of a weekly event that gives women the opportunity to meet up and pursue personal aims and interests. . Women of all ages and all areas of life come together as they reinforce the importance of women, their potential and skills.
Why is it necessary?
Happiness is so important and vital to our own goals in life and can help us achieve many other cherished personal ambitions and goals. Given the context of women in Kerala, happiness is indeed reduced because of lack of social support and freedom to make life choices at present. Bound by tradition, they often have to compromise on their happiness, and are unable to make choices that they would prefer, especially with regard to their career. On a related note, women also find it difficult to be integrated into a larger social group outside their homes and workplaces. Social embeddedness is significant as members of community organizations tend to be happier than their counterparts who are not part of any such regular social gathering. Through this happiness project it unites all the women to establish a better work-life balance as well as increase the level of happiness in them.
How does it work?
There is a lack of community organizations for women that are accessible and welcome to women of all social and economic strata. By actively participating women in community meetups and events gives them a sense of greater autonomy and control over their lives, considerably reducing stress levels and increasing the level of happiness. It is in this context #hapinessproject is organizing a weekly fair called Social where women can share their unique visions in their great breadth, vision, talent and artistic variety.
