Project Champion: Physical Education Experiences.

https://youtu.be/ylhAE9RfmZo

Hyderabad Runners’ Project Champion is a Physical Literacy initiative that brings structured physical education to students in government schools. This video captures the experiences and perspectives of students, Physical Education Teachers, and Head Mistresses from Hussaini Alam, Chowrazinsi, and Siddiquenagar schools. Through their voices, the video highlights how regular physical activity is being integrated into the school environment and the positive experiences of students participating in the programme.

This video documentation was created by Manya Doosa, an intern from Woxsen University, capturing the experiences and impact of Project Champion across the participating schools.
