Get Set for Milan

The Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 are fast approaching - and Get Set for Milan is helping young people get moving in the lead-up to the Games. We’re proud that Protect Our Winters UK has contributed an activity to this exciting national initiative, which invites children and their families to track their activity as they move, play and work together throughout the countdown to Milano Cortina 2026.

Developed in partnership with leading National Governing Bodies, the programme brings together sport, play and inspiration - all powered by Team GB and Paralympics GB athletes.

Get Set for Milan is a free, interactive digital platform for UK primary schools, families and community groups. It provides ready-to-use resources that make physical activity fun, inclusive and accessible, both in and out of the classroom.

Regular physical activity is vital for children’s wellbeing and development. It supports academic success, builds confidence and resilience, and helps develop key life skills such as teamwork, problem-solving and perseverance.

At Protect Our Winters UK, we know that an active connection to sport and the outdoors plays a powerful role in helping young people value (and want to protect) the environments where winter sports take place. By inspiring movement and excitement around winter sport, Get Set for Milan helps nurture a generation that not only loves being active, but understands why our winters matter.

Protect Our Winters UK has contributed one of the programme’s activities, helping bring our perspective into a nationwide initiative that reaches classrooms, homes and communities across the country. We’re excited to be part of a project that celebrates winter sport while encouraging healthy, active lifestyles for all.

Bring the excitement of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games into your classroom. Get Set for Milan helps pupils track movement, play together and work as a team in the countdown to Milano Cortina 2026.

Join families across the UK in getting active together. Track your household’s activity, celebrate progress and stay motivated throughout the winter — all for free.

Get your club or community moving. Young people can work together, track activity and enjoy fun challenges as part of a national countdown to the Games.
