Here are some really useful websites to inspire you about the Olympic Movement or London 2012.
Some sites contain really useful suggestions about how your organisation can get involved at a very practical level in 2012-related activity, whilst other sites provide useful information about regional partners who are involved in integrating 2012 activity into their current and future activity in Yorkshire and the Humber.
- If you are an FE or HE institution we highly recommend engaging with PODIUM, the Further and Higher Education Unit for the 2012 Game
- If you are an educational institution working with young people from age 3 – 19 years we encourage you to take a look at Get Set and see how you can link up to the exciting activities coming through that programme.
