Budapest Association for International Sports

Budapest Association for International Sports (BAIS) is a volunteer based, youth-led non-profit organization with the mission of promoting physical activity, active lifestyle, intercultural understanding, tolerance and participation through non-formal education. From 2015 to 2017, due to the lengthy legal registration procedure, we developed our activities as an informal group of young people under the name of International Sport Association of Budapest (ISAB). On 18 December 2017 we were registered as a non-for-profit association by the court of Budapest. The primary goal of our organization is to promote physical activity, healthy lifestyle and participation in grassroots sport activities among young people regardless of their origin and social status. Our target group includes international and Hungarian students, young professionals and young people in general. Through the organization of recreational activities, youth exchanges and training courses we aim to create sport-based educational opportunities for young people and to strengthen mutual understanding and friendship among them. The secondary goal of the organization is to connect local sport clubs and grassroots initiatives with internationals living in Budapest and to provide them information about sport related events taking place in the city.
