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.
Through our Happiness Practices and collective art projects, we create a ripple of kindness that flows into an ocean of happiness.
Our Art Festivals are places where play becomes purpose.
Through our Happiness Practices, children from around the world connect and co-create art while becoming part of the solution—strengthening emotional intelligence and contributing to other children’s happiness.
From one shared moment, kindness ripples outward, connecting young hearts across the world through the power of art.

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, creativity, and belonging.

Children form letters.
Letters form words.
Words form stories.
Storytelling transforms the world.
Across the globe, children come together to co-create a new story. A story of a future where happiness is found within, through gratitude for the now, ourselves, the Earth, and others. As gratitude grows, kindness ripples, and happiness begins to flow within.
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.
We trust that there are individuals, companies, and communities who align with this belief. People with the capacity and understanding to see that investing in children’s happiness, and wellbeing is not charity, but long-term stewardship for future generations.
