São Paulo is set to host the 2026 edition of the Happiness Turn, a movement initiated in 2019 by Chirles Oliveira. This annual event brings together business leaders, experts, and personalities to discuss vital themes surrounding mental health, well-being, and social responsibility. The event will adopt a hybrid format, with online debates taking place on March 1 and in-person meetings scheduled for March 19 and 20 at Casa Rofer in São Paulo's southern region.

Confirmations for participation include notable figures such as Zen Buddhist monk Monja Coen, journalist Izabella Camargo, and indigenous leader Ubiraci Pataxó. The event also aims to engage international participants like writer Gaspar Contreras and doctor Edith Shiro. Closing activities are planned for March 26, featuring a free social initiative at CEU Paraisópolis. The timing of the event is significant, as it coincides with International Day of Happiness on March 20, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being in today's corporate landscape.

The Happiness Turn seeks to address the increasing prevalence of emotional disorders and their effects on mental health, specifically in the workplace. With rising awareness regarding these issues, the discussions during this event may provide crucial insights and strategies for enhancing mental health awareness and practices within corporate settings while also promoting community-driven social responsibility initiatives.
