Have you ever wondered where you can meet people you can connect with? May be you are a single parent juggling your job and the demands of your children. Whatever be the case, we all feel the need to meet people and develop relationships beyond the professional or the familial. This is a forum that will bring together people from various walks of life. A place for women to meet other women who are looking to cultivate new experience and bring new ideas and showcase their talents.

Our project aims at setting up weekly fair with the logic of self- transcendence by bringing together all the women who are willing to brainstorm ideas to reality. We also give guidance and training and techniques to cope up with the ups and down in different phases.

Our women fair : Social comprises of different programmes which is held weekly. Your talent will be on display throughout the venue, in various ways. We invite both beginners and professionals to see, connect or maybe translate the modes of work to other like-minded people. There are no limits to creativity but a sheer enhancement of growth in pursuit of happiness.

With our unique layout, attendees will feel as if they’re attending a special event versus a crowded traditional fairs you see every day. You will be more relaxed, inspired, and able to correlate their vision for their event with your work. Attendees can witness you and your craft in person versus on social media too. We highlight new exhibitors, sponsors, and provide tips on how to execute it. For Exhibitors: we provide collaboration opportunities and tips on how to get the most of their organizing experience. Participants are selected prior to a week through a registration process.

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.
