The Happy Pod: My college designs on display at the Met

We meet a teacher whose college fashion designs have gone on display at the famous Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Nadia Pinkney says she was shocked when the curator said they wanted to display her collection, which was inspired by a family history of Alzheimer's disease. She describes seeing the exhibition as an out-of-body experience and hopes it will encourage more people to talk about difficult topics like dementia.

Also: the passengers catching a bus to nowhere in Switzerland. The project is designed to encourage people to slow down and talk to new people face to face.

The mother who's found comfort from being able to hold her late daughter's hand again, after it was donated for a rare transplant.

The Polish influencer who's raised millions of dollars for a cancer charity by hosting a livestream for nine days, non-stop.

The grandmother fighting to preserve Chile's wetlands for the next generation.

Plus the Canadian truck driver who rescued a moose called Rebel; and why musicians in southern England are holding improvised concerts with nightingales.

Our weekly collection of inspiring, uplifting and happy news from around the world.
