Vienna Hub connects people with passion. A highlight was that of meeting many new People with Passion, both locally and online, leading to the start of a new format listing and establishment of processes aimed to connect more people more smoothly. Many new artists appeared through Ronnie and the AvyApp. Another highlight was the energy shared around the planning of the 1st Vienna Hub Global Gathering. Also, more Creative Circles are forming, these are small "mastermind" groups of 12 people around a theme, aimed at both inspiring and motivating people, and building collective wisdom. More information here in the Welcome group.

Vienna Happiness Project spreads happiness - two highlights were the talks with Wanjira in Kenya and Yvan from Rwanda about happiness, and how they picked up on the theme. A focus for this year is getting more people to join online happy cafe events.

The Learning Street nurtures learning communities - one highlight was baseball5 activity in Kakuma Camp from Denis, Pascal and others, leading to plans for more activity there this year. Another highlight was finding and creating foldable books, and the excitement they have caused with many people, leading to participation this year in a ULab team on Children's Literacy. A third highlight, establishing a Box of Books in a local cafe, and circulating a Bag of Books among a group of families locally, extending an idea from long ago. Last but not least, a mention for Alie in Freetown and the sheer joy of our communication and the actions it has brought about.

Thank you all, for 2022, and for the years ahead.

in happiness with love for peace,

Nigel
