Project Happiness Curriculum Spanning the Globe

Class using Project Happiness

 

What does a public high school in Illinois and a kindergarten in Poland have in common with an international school in Viet Nam and a medical school in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?  Why Project Happiness of course!  

As of this writing, Project Happiness programs have been initiated in 39 U.S. states and 23 countries.  From Alabama to Wyoming, Australia to the United Kingdom, educators everywhere are incorporating Project Happiness curriculum into the educational programs at their schools and organizations.  And 2011 was a banner year for getting this started!  In just the last two months, educators at more than 175 schools and organizations have downloaded and started using the free Project Happiness resources we make available.

And this is only just the beginning!  In 2012, all qualifying educators that request them will receive a copy of the Project Happiness Handbook, either printed or e-book version, to enhance their classroom experience.  Additional books can be ordered from Project Happiness at a special educational discount.

Proyecto Felicidad - Project Happiness Launches Spanish-language version!

Throughout 2011, one request we have received over and over again is "Can you make the Project Happiness materials available in other languages?"  We are thrilled to announce that we are beginning that process with the January 7th premiere of the Project Happiness film in Spanish!  We aren't just stopping with the film! Everything including the free resources and the Project Happiness Handbook, will be available in Spanish in early 2012.  

In addition to Spanish, we already have transcripts for the film in German and Korean (thanks to two fantastic film festivals that chose to showcase Project Happiness) and we are hoping to expand our availability to other languages soon!  If you or someone you know would be interested in contributing to making Project Happiness available in another language, please contact Brian Rusch - brian@projecthappiness.com.

Thanks for all of your support!

 

Project Happiness thrives thanks to the support of people like you!  This year so many of you have made contributions of time, knowledge and of course, money.

 

The Project Happiness team has worked passionately with the help of so many wonderful volunteers to expand the work of our organization throughout the United States and the world and we are well positioned to make an even bigger impact in 2012.

If you would like to be a volunteer with the Project Happiness offices in California or if you would like to volunteer to help bring Project Happiness programs to your area, please contact Emily Crubaugh - emily@projecthappiness.com.
