We invite children to explore the science of happiness
Through art and connection to nature.
We are children from around the world, united in creating a global Happiness Manifestation.
Inspired by the Flow of Happiness we discover that true happiness is found in gratitude and kindness.
Our Happiness Practices connect us through art festivals, online experiences, and school programs—turning gratitude into action and rippling kindness across the world.
Our Art Festivals are where play becomes purpose.
Children connect across cultures, co-create art in nature, and contribute to other children’s happiness—living the Flow of Happiness together.
Through our Happiness Practices, children’s art and stories travel far beyond the festivals, becoming learning shared online and in schools worldwide—kids empowering kids.

The Human Alphabet
At our Art Festivals, the peak moment is when hundreds of children gather to form a human letter representing their country. Each artwork is captured from above at a meaningful location—transforming a shared experience into a lasting symbol of connection, co-creation, and contribution.
The artworks are shared with the world and sold to fund more free Art Festivals—an act of paying it forward, where gratitude for those before becomes kindness for those after, and one joyful moment creates a flow of happiness.
View all letters
Children form letters.
Letters form words.
Words form stories.
Storytelling transforms the world.
The story we share is a story of gratitude, and kindness—where happiness is found within, through care for ourselves, the Earth, and each other. As gratitude grows, kindness ripples, and happiness begins to flow.
Free education, powered by art
We believe education should be freely available to everyone. At Happy Hearts children learn by creating art. That art is offered to the world. The proceeds sustain the movement: more festivals, more children, more education.
