Niceties token

Niceties token
3 different Niceties Tokens

A Niceties Token is a small fimo clay object. These are given to someone who is seen being nice, this person can then pass this token on to other people who they see being nice.

Each token has an individual name and a set of markings. The recipient can log on to a website to record how, where, and why they got it, and read about who has had it before them.

History

Run by ‘Team Nice’, Niceties Tokens were invented to encourage politeness. The thinking being that “When you are polite to somebody, politeness gets passed around, as does nastiness,”[1]

The scheme originally started with 130 tokens being given out.[2]

The Team Nice website builds a database of the journeys the tokens make using the data that each recipient puts in.
