Colombia is a wonderful country with kind, hard working and passionate people. There are many peace and community building focuses in all the regions of the country. Joining these focuses, a sport with 40 years of history called Ultimate has been used for almost 10 years as means for social integration within the cities and in the nation between different regions (For info on Ultimate: http://wfdf.org/). Our work group started in 2003 and has been able to be part of the educational history led by professional teachers since 1997.
Ultimate arrived to Colombia in 1994 and has been used as a unique tool for the transformation of communities with a low capability of positive dispute resolution. This objectives have been achieved by teaching Ultimate from its fundamentals and essence: respect of yourself, the others and the rules of the game. Project Play Colombia will help the positive establishment of new Ultimate communities working in 6 Colombian cities where the sport is developing during september, october and novemeber 2009.
