AEJeST is a non-governmental organization recognized by UNESCO. In 2001, nearly a hundred delegates from different organisations decided to create the European Association for Traditional Sports and Games (AEJeST), at the service of Traditional Sports and Games (TSG). This initiative followed several international scientific meetings and festivals held between the 1980s and 1990s. The founding members wanted to activate a network of networks between different European institutions around traditional games and sports. These organisations represent educational institutions (universities, training schools), federations, sports associations, cultural associations, museums and people who are sensitive to the TSG.
