Project activities
TABLE OF CONTENTS
HappyLab
The HappyLab includes two weeks (in Spring and Autumn 2024) of a 2-hour laboratory. It will be repeated twice per day, with one high school class (~ 20 students) invited per time, for a total of about 20 classes (~ 400 students in total).
It will include three parts:
- An introduction to communication concepts by a research expert;
- A practical activity inspired by creative literature examples on the role of “masks” as symbols of the difference between an online fictitious identity and a real identity. A debriefing with a mental health expert will follow;
- A reflection on what it means to be happy for them. Classical literature examples from Aristotle’s “The Nicomachean Ethics” will be read to define happiness (e.g., hedonic versus eudaimonic happiness). They will create a shared “Happiness2.0 Pyramid” (i.e., to define their happiness in the current state of the Internet, i.e. 2.0, including user-generated content via social media)
HappyApero
The HappyApero aims to foster communication between adolescents, scientists, and the adult public (including parents and teachers).
- A group of adolescents who participated in the HappyLab will be invited to share their experiences with other adolescents in a peer-to-peer interview format.
Adolescents will share their experiences with the adult public and ask questions to invited research experts.
HappyTable:
The HappyTable aims to summarize the Happiness2.0 project’s activities.In collaboration with the Culture Division, City of Lugano, we will invite all high school principals of Ticino, interested teachers, representatives from parental associations, and stakeholders working with adolescents in Ticino.
- We will deliver printed brochures with the project summary and we will promote the continuation of the HappyLab project for the following year, which will be based on the visual arts-in line with the IBSA Foundation's Culture and Health program.
Aim of the initiative
Happiness2.0 Lab includes a series of communication activities (HappyLab, HappyApero, and HappyTable) designed for adolescents, aiming at translating scientific results into practice, through the combination of science and arts.
