Right 2 Walk Foundation meets The Modern Story to discuss improving Hyderabad’s public space

Today Ms. Kanthi from the Right2Walk Foundation spoke to our students today about how young people in programs like The Modern Story can make a difference in their cities. Ms. Kanthi is a TEDx Hitec speaker and president of Right2Walk. Her presentation touched upon issues that our students are discussing in their final project. The Modern Story students at Railway Girls High School in Lallaguda, Hyderabad chose to highlight public space, specifically the health and safety of life on footpaths in modern cities, for their last video topic. Ms. Kanthi stepped right in to deliver much needed information and perspectives as an authoritative figure on the subject. Afterwards, Ms. Kanthi and the Head Mistress at Railway had a discussion on longer term projects, such as student-faculty surveys of public space, data collection, and petitions to improve public space to make it easier for students to walk to school.
