| About us
Planetrise Academy officially registered in 2024, is the successor to an organisation with a history of more than 30 years. Originally founded in 1989 as the "Barátság GOV Horgász Association", its initial mission was to promote angling as a sport and to represent the interests of anglers.
Over the years its activities expanded to include nature conservation, environmental awareness, and sustainability-oriented projects. As the focus gradually shifted towards the practical education of sustainability knowledge, the organisation adopted the name Planetrise Academy to reflect its renewed direction—while continuing to honour angling as a form of sport and recreation.
| About our mission
Planetrise Academy aims to advance sustainable development, preserve cultural diversity, and promote healthy lifestyles across all levels of society – laying the foundation for a more liveable and united world.
Our mission is to safeguard shared values and shape both our natural and built environments, as well as our society, through concrete actions, awareness campaigns, educational initiatives, and mindset-shifting programmes aligned with the principles of sustainability.
To this end, we maintain ongoing cooperation at both national and international levels with local and regional governments, governmental and non-governmental organisations, civil society groups, educational, healthcare and social institutions, national parks, environmental authorities, businesses, churches, and the media.

| Our ideology
Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development
Preserving natural resources and promoting sustainable development are core missions of our organisation. We place special emphasis on ecosystem conservation, addressing waste management challenges, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Our programmes raise environmental awareness and offer concrete steps towards a sustainable lifestyle.
Social and Cultural Activities
The Planetrise Academy aims to strengthen social cohesion and protect cultural diversity. We organise initiatives that foster dialogue between communities, reduce prejudice, and contribute to social harmony. We believe the preservation of cultural values is vital for community development.
Education and Awareness-Raising
Education is one of the most effective tools to ensure long-term societal progress. Our lectures, educational programmes, and awareness-raising activities focus on sustainability, healthy living, and active civic engagement. We prioritise hands-on, practical educational methods.
Child and Youth Awareness Development
Planetrise Academy places particular emphasis on supporting younger generations. Our programmes help children and young people develop their skills, protect their interests, and shape a stable set of values. We create community spaces and initiatives that provide opportunities for them to express and nurture their talents.
Our educational programmes are designed to support personal development and prepare individuals for the challenges of modern society. Through skill development activities, we strive to help each participant recognise and utilise their own inner resources.
Local and Global Activities
We work continuously at both local and international levels with municipalities, governmental and non-governmental organisations, civil society actors, educational, healthcare and other social institutions, national parks, environmental authorities, businesses, and churches. The scope of Planetrise Academy's activities extends to international regions.
In our academic work, we strive to harmonise local and global engagement. Supporting distant regions should not come at the expense of our homeland, and vice versa – investing in our local communities must not make us forget that the world is our shared home.
Community Development and Food Security
Strengthening community cohesion and meeting basic human needs are essential for social stability. We support self-organised local initiatives and provide solutions to food security and food sovereignty challenges.
Scientific and Research Activities
To build the scientific foundations of sustainable development, we engage in research and support innovative solutions. Our organisation strives to incorporate the latest scientific findings into our work and translate them into actionable strategies.
Planetrise Academy includes members holding advanced academic degrees. We consider it essential to integrate both traditional and innovative high-tech approaches in the planning and implementation of international development programmes and holistically sustainable projects.
Social Activities
To promote social security and well-being, we actively support people in vulnerable situations. Our programmes provide not only financial but also emotional and intellectual support to those in need. Our goal is to foster social inclusion and equal opportunities for minority groups.
Through our initiatives, we highlight the enriching role of minority cultures and actively combat discrimination. We are convinced that social diversity is key to survival. Ensuring social security and well-being remains a central pillar of our work.
