Fittr joins hands with Vedantu to provide wellness sessions for children to promote an active lifestyle

Jan 21, 2022 by Praveen 0 Comments #Children, #Fittr, #Vedantu, #wellness sessions

We all have heard of the famous idiom ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’. It is essential to schedule some physical activity in the day along with academic learning to accelerate overall growth and wellbeing of a child. To bring this philosophy to life, Fittr, one of the world’s largest community-first online health and fitness brands, today announced a collaboration with Vedantu, a pioneer in LIVE online learning, to promote healthy and active living in children through monthly sessions.

Physical activities that engage students are associated with higher levels of concentration and well-composed behaviour, which directly influence students’ mental health. Thus, including physical activity in one’s lifestyle from an early age not only keeps cardiovascular problems at bay but also helps children attain better academic outcomes. Fittr and Vedantu’s wellness sessions will be conducted by certified Fittr coaches using Vedantu’s platform, under the V-Nurture and Super School programs. Despite the ongoing discussion regarding when sports may resume normalcy without restrictions, this is an opportunity for students to become well-rounded as well as experience the benefits of scientifically backed courses separately from academic courses.

According to a report by the ‘Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2019’, it was observed that only 50 per cent boys, and less than 34 per cent girls aged 12 to 15 were as fit as they should be. Additionally, it was monitored that regular and ample physical activity and a nutritious diet in early childhood helps produce superior cognitive outcomes. It leads to a balanced growth and development and has numerous mental and psychosocial benefits which enhances the overall learning experience. After examining such statistics and facts, Fittr planned this initiative to create awareness and educate children around the need of nutrition and fitness.

With this one-of-a-kind collaboration, Fittr and Vedantu aims to connect with around two million kids in the next 12 months. Vedantu, true to its vision of providing a comprehensive curriculum, recognizes the importance of nutrition and well-being in enhancing student learning and improving their lifestyle.

Speaking on the association, Jitendra Chouksey, Founder and CEO, Fittr, said, “At Fittr, we have a dedicated vertical for children, Fittr Kids, wherein certified coaches and experts offer scientifically backed solution towards exercise and nutrition. We also offer activity and training-based plans for holistic wellness solutions. This is for the first time a fitness and an ed-tech platform are coming together to achieve an exceptional goal of making over two million lives healthier. With Fittr’s expertise in urging people to lead healthy lifestyle and Vedantu’s remarkable knowledge and network, we aim to educate children about the importance and fundamentals of nutrition and physical activity.”

 

“At Vedantu, we have always aimed to help students reach their full potential by providing them with all-around development. In addition to the variety of post-class activities offered at V-Nuture and Super School to boost a child’s well-being, the school also stresses the importance of an active lifestyle and health as critical factors during the shaping of a student’s life. As part of our one-of-a-kind collaboration with Fittr, we aim to promote the importance of nutrition and wellness through live nutrition sessions and wellness sessions led by Fittr coaches. This program will be offered on Vedantu’s innovative LIVE platform, W.A.V.E, which is designed to keep students engaged. Even moderate physical activity enhances cognitive alertness, helps cope with anxiety and aids a healthy lifestyle. Our students are encouraged to make the most of this opportunity and emerge stronger for a better tomorrow. “, says Pulkit Jain, Co-Founder and Head of New Initiatives & Culture, Vedantu.

Starting from January 26th, the first session on ‘Masterclass on fundamentals of Science backed Exercise & Nutrition’ will be hosted on Vedantu’s platform, led by Fittr coach Nachiketh Shetty.

This New Year’s let’s take a resolution of keeping our mind and body healthy with Fittr and Vedantu’s wellness classes.

India: With schools being shut, students have explored different ways to keep their creative juices flowing and used the available resources to stay engaged, inspired, and motivated. As part of its Children Day initiative, Vedantu- a pioneer in LIVE online learning, and visual communications platform, Canva, have launched a first-of-its-kind Design Challenge in India, with a design bootcamp to educate school students on the essentials of creativity and design thinking. The design bootcamp sessions will be conducted by experts from Canva and Vedantu Master Teachers. With this collaboration, Vedantu aspires to celebrate the creativity, curiosity and exploration of children and teachers across the country.

Since the pandemic, online learning has seen a massive adoption. Teachers have also gone above and beyond their duty to conduct classes through different mediums available. They have emerged as digital content creators and EdTech professionals who are experts in mentoring students in an online teaching space.

“We’re excited to partner with Vedantu to inspire creativity, design, and visual thinking in students across a range of ages. Our mission is to democratize design and empower everyone to create and we look forward to seeing the Design Challenge unlock all types of creativity,” says Zach Kitschke, CMO, Canva.

“We strive to provide the best-in-class education and opportunities to our students that are beyond academics. Through this partnership with Canva, we will further our vision of unleashing the potential in every child. This will enable us to provide our students access to a platform to fuel their creative minds and we are thrilled to explore this. We will continue to innovate to reach as many students as possible and create better experiences and outcomes for every child across the country”, says Vamsi Krishna, CEO & Co-founder, Vedantu.

The theme for the first edition of the Design Challenge is #GoingBacktoSchool and is open to all students across the age group of 6-18 years. The challenge will ask students to create an artwork on Canva that truly resonates with the theme. Students are required to submit a design which focuses on what is so special about #GoingBackToSchool for them, with the templates available on Canva for Education. The artwork created by students will be judged under three categories –

· Group 1: Junior School (Grades 2nd- 5th) – students to create a poster or invite

· Group 2: Middle School (Grades 6th-8th) – students to create an infographic or a newsletter

· Group 3: High School (Grades 9th-12th) – students to create a video or presentation

How can students participate in the Design Challenge?

· Students can visit Canva.com and create an account using their own or their parent’s email address

· Choose from the multiple templates available for Posters, Infographics, Presentations, Cards, and other suggested formats

· Create their artwork on the theme #GoingBacktoSchool

· If a student is under 13 years, we encourage them to share their Canva design link with a teacher or parent and ask them to submit the design. Students 13 years and above can directly submit their design link in the Application Form.

· Students are reminded to write a few lines about their artwork, what it means to them and how it links back to the theme.
