Community Voice Background

 

The Happy City team have seen time and time again that every community, every city has the people, ideas, resources and solutions to solve all their problems, but most of those things remain unseen, un-celebrated and the learning lost.  The Community Voices pilot aims to prove the case for a sustainable hub of citizens journalism to help the voices of change to be heard, the examples of replicable solutions to be shared, and the stories of inspiration and opportunity to be aired as widely as possible.

A leaked memo suggests the little-known undercover arm of the Happy City Initiative is hosting some kind of party at a secret rendez vous on 4th July.  Word is there will food,drink, music and fun, and that outstanding party-goers will have a chance to become Agents of Happiness...

Here's what we know: Rendez Vous at Cabot Circus, 18:30 hrs. Stake out The House of Fraser, watching for 'Uncle Sam'. When he gets out a yellow book, follow him to the Agency Assessment Centre, where we understand people will be briefed, armed and licensed to disable unhappiness.
