The International Day of Happiness, also known as World Happiness Day or Happiness Day, is celebrated every year on March 20. The day aims to create a kinder and happier world by urging people to adopt simple, daily practices to be happy.
This year, the theme for International Day of Happiness is ‘Be Mindful. Be Grateful. Be Kind.’
History
The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed March 20 as the International Day of Happiness in its resolution 66/281 of 12 July 2012. The first celebration was held in 2013 and since then it has been used as a way to recognise the importance of happiness in the lives of people around the world.
