Take some time to explore the ways that humor and laughter have been formally designed into programs or projects to help employees, students, patients, elders etc. Research some of the programs that exist in a variety of settings and select ONE to write about.
You may use a local, national or international humor program/project. You may look at clown troops, miming/acting, comedy troupe, things like “Make a Wish Foundation” or hospital or corporate humor programs/facilities etc…
Have evidence of some research and/or articles to support your paper.
In your paper, use the following headings and be sure to address the following:
Name of the Program and Intended Audience: Who is the program for?
History: Why was it developed? What was the rationale and whose idea was it to start? Has it evolved?
Type/nature of program: Describe the basic structure of the program.
Is there any evaluation of the efforts? List any statistics or ways the program has worked for people or groups.
Costs: How much is the program? Who pays?
Your Perceptions: What are your thoughts about the program? In what ways could it be improved or expanded?
