Get Involved
We all carry stories that shape who we are — stories of joy, loss, courage, and transformation. Happiness in Practice invites you to share yours. Here, your voice becomes part of a community that listens, learns, and grows together. Through creative workshops and positive psychology tools, you’ll discover new ways to turn experience into strength, connect with others, and find meaning in the journey toward well-being.

International Workshop in Spain

Hosted by European Social Art (ESA), this creative residency, taking place from 23 to 25 March 2026 in Valencia, explores the connections between art, culture, health, and well-being through participatory and reflective practices.
The activities combine literature, artistic activities, dialogue circles, and cultural visits to foster empathy, community resilience, and emotional awareness.
Participants engage in collective reflection and co-creation, exchanging experiences on how artistic and cultural approaches can support happiness, inclusion, and well-being in adult education and community contexts.
The residency also serves as a transnational working space for project partners, strengthening collaboration and preparing the next phase of local actions and community-based initiatives.
Local Happiness Workshops
Coming soon
Following the Valencia workshop, each partner country — Italy, Spain, and Belgium — will launch local workshops for adults aged 35–60. These sessions will offer accessible tools from Positive Psychology, Laughter Yoga, and Empathy practices to reduce stress, improve self-awareness, and build social connection.
Stay tuned for dates and details in your country.
Community of Practice (CoP)
A European online and offline space that connects educators, facilitators, and adult learners.
The CoP promotes peer learning, dialogue, and collective reflection on emotional health and sustainable well-being.
It continues beyond the project’s duration, ensuring that Happiness in Practice becomes a lasting movement of shared knowledge and support.
Happiness Toolkit
An open-access digital resource collecting the project’s main methods, exercises, and findings.
The Toolkit includes practical guides on Positive Psychology, Laughter Yoga, and community facilitation, along with scientific insights on neuroplasticity, empathy, and social resilience.
It is designed to inspire educators and organizations across Europe to apply the Happiness in Practice model in their own communities.
