<![CDATA[Abstract. Education curriculum is one of the most important aspects in the learning process. In Indonesia’s 2013 Curriculum (K13), spiritual and social traits become one of the three graduation competencies for students. However, character development and planting a sense of joy in learning for students have not become the main focus in Indonesian education. The government of Delhi, India, developed an innovation called Happiness Curriculum, where it includes three Happiness Competencies, which are: mindfulness, critical thinking and reflection, and social-emotional skills. This study is important because developing the character of critical, mindfulness and able to self-reflection will assist the Indonesian young generation to be more prepared to address challenges and issues of the future. This research aims to identify the urgency and how can the Happiness Competencies be integrated into the curriculum in Indonesia to increase the spiritual and social traits competency for students at school. The method used is literature review. The result shows that the Happiness Competencies based on the Happiness Curriculum from Delhi, India, can be integrated starting from the teacher and the surrounding environment that supports the said transformation, considering that mental health at school is one of the issues that should become the concern of actors in the education sector.
