About MYP Community Project:

The Community Project is a major activity for students to complete in year three (8th grade) of the MYP program at Oakridge International School.

The community project focuses on community and service and gives students an opportunity to develop awareness of needs in various communities and address those needs through service learning.

As a consolidation of learning, the community project engages in a sustained, in-depth inquiry leading to service as action in the community.

The Inquiry Cycle:

MYP Year-3 Community Project Process JournalLaughter therapy:

This was the topic I chose because it benefits the community but the issue is that in India and many other communities, many people do not know about Laughter therapy but in U.S, people know about this.

PPT on Laughter therapy:

Laughter is a natural medicine. It lifts our spirits and makes us feel happy. Laughter is a contagious emotion. It can bring people together. It can help us feel more alive.

Laughter therapy, also known as (aka) humor therapy, aims to use the natural physiological

MYP Year-3 Community Project Process Journalprocess of laughter to help prevent physical or emotional stresses or discomfort.

Page 5: Laughter Therapy

MYP Year-3 Community Project Process JournalRelation with the Inquiry Cycle:

Investigation: Based on my research, I found out the main issue and decided to find a way to solve the problem.

The days of investigation:

1st, 2nd, 5th March 2016

Plan: I wanted to conduct laughter therapy sessions in my community and in K.B.R Park to show that laughter therapy benefitted us.

Action: I have conducted laughter therapy sessions in Villa Greens (my home) and also in K.B.R Park to spread awareness.

The days of action:

11th, 12th, 19th, 20th, 25th, 26th March 2016 and 2nd, 3rd April 2016

Reflection: In this topic, my goal was to spread awareness on laughter therapy and how it can benefit the community and the results were that the community in K.B.R Park had spread the idea across the whole of Telangana. There was also one reason why I had picked

Page 6: Laughter Therapy

MYP Year-3 Community Project Process Journalthe topic. It was because I had to change from being serious to joyous. At the same time I had changed, Laughter therapy had been spread across the Telangana state.

My action plan:

1st March 2016 Research about Laughter therapy around the world.

2nd March 2016 Research about Laughter therapy in India.

5th March 2016 Research on Laughter clubs in India.

11th, 12th, 19th, 20th, 25th, 26th March 2016

Laughter therapy sessions conducted in Villa Greens.

2nd and 3rd April 2016 Laughter therapy sessions conducted in Old Age homes.

My Plan:

Go to elder care homes and conduct a session on Laughter therapy and how it helps.

Conduct Laughter therapy sessions at my Community – Villa Greens – 2 sessions per weekend.

1st March 2016:

Page 7: Laughter Therapy

MYP Year-3 Community Project Process JournalToday was my first day to get started on the community project. The first thing I did today was my research. I thought of a few questions that I thought for myself to answer.

Where do I start with my community project? Why did I pick this topic? Do I need this topic to help me change my

emotions?

I had started the project by first researching about the areas of where laughter therapy is taken place and I realized that only the whole of U.S.A conducts laughter therapy sessions.

Firstly, I picked the topic because it would help me change my feelings. I am not much of a person who laughs a lot. I used to when I was a child, but now I am slowing down and do not even laugh at all. But now, ever since I have chosen this topic, it makes me feel better.

MYP Year-3 Community Project Process Journal2nd March:

The second day of work and I have come up with more questions:

Do I find out more about whether India conducts laughter therapy?

Are there any laughter clubs in India at all?

After doing my research, I found out that India has only three states that have laughter clubs - Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad.

5th March 2016:

What are these laughter clubs names?

On this day, I was doing further research on where in the states (Delhi, Telangana, and Mumbai) are the laughter clubs.

In Delhi, the only laughter club there is the Canvas Laughter Club; there are three laughter clubs in Mumbai – Aath laughter club, Marol Maroshi laughter club, and
