OUR MARKET PLACE
With the world becoming more individualistic every day, we need to make some fundamental shifts in our society. How we live, how we work but most of all, how we interact. Social sustainability is just as important as environmental sustainability. Let’s lower the barrier for making the world a sustainable place.
Local Happinez is a unique social market place for local communities and fellows sharing their time and knowledge. Communities share happenings and fellows visit those. Happenings are actions where local people work together with fellows on a local problem. For half a day, 1 day or may be a little longer. Imagine together we spend a little of our time and knowledge on sustainability? That would definitely make a huge impact.
Local host
You could be this local host. You need an extra pair of hands or knowledge and you get access to thousands of people willing to share their time and brains. Wouldn’t it be great if you could connect to each other? Together you come to a solution. The only thing you have to do is share your happening on the market place.
Fellow
You could also be this fellow. Imagine you’re having some time off and you like to do something else than the usual. Then use our platform to get access to thousands of happenings where your time and knowledge is needed. All you have to do is pick a happening, contact the local member, plan your visit and work on sustainability together.
No money, but hands and knowledge
It’s as simple as that! We believe we need to go back to an authentic way of helping each other out. We’re not talking about transferring money. It’s all about sharing hands and knowledge. Together we can make a sustainable impact. We form a team with tons of knowledge and skills. All we have to do is connect and help each other out.
