The nationwide celebrations to mark the International Day of Happiness kicked off on Saturday with the inaugural Happiness Journey at the Dubai Water Canal.
The full-day event started with the Happiness Walk that went from Dubai Water Canal to the BOXPARK and back. This year’s inaugural Happiness Journey bears the theme of giving, reflecting the Year of Giving 2017 initiative launched by the UAE ruler, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The Happiness Journey aimed to achieve a set of objectives with both social and economic effects, namely: to propose happiness-centric strategic policies, foster happiness and positivity as a culture and lifestyle in the UAE, create KPIs to measure national happiness against global standards and indices, and create national literature for happiness and positivity. Moreover, the event aims to eventually become a catalyst for happiness and positivity in the UAE.
