LG and Discovery Education Teach Youth How to Practice Happiness

LG Electronics USA’s Life’s Good: Experience Happiness program, in collaboration with worldwide edtech leader Discovery Education, recently launched “Happiness in Action,” a no-cost Virtual Field Trip (VFT) dedicated to teaching students how to put the Six Sustainable Happiness Skills—mindfulness, human connection, gratitude, positive outlook, purpose, and generosity—into action.

About Life’s Good: Experience Happiness

Aiming to enrich the lives of 5.5 million youth in the United States by 2022, LG Electronics USA launched a unique initiative called “Life’s Good: Experience Happiness.” Happiness skills can be learned, according to the Greater Good Science Center at University of California Berkeley, which has identified six skills that sustain one’s ability to recognize that life’s good: mindfulness, human connection, positive outlook, purpose, generosity and gratitude. LG’s award-winning science-based platform is designed to engage leading non-profit and academic partners including Inner Explorer; Be Strong; the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning, and Discovery Education that help equip American youth with the skills for sustainable happiness. LGExperienceHappiness.com
