Ultimate Peace is a multicultural program that aims to build bridges of friendship, trust and understanding among Arab Israelis, Israeli Jews and Palestinians, using the character building, self-refereeing sport of Ultimate Frisbee as context. UP's 2014 Friendship Tour includes a stop in Atlanta for competition, telling the stories of UP's young leaders, fundraising, and meeting the local community.
This Friendship Round-Robin 2014 features some of Atlanta's best ultimate teams competing and creating friendships. The tournament is a partnership between Ultimate Peace, Atlanta Flying Disc Club, and Georgia Soccer Park. The day will feature a short clinic with Atlanta club ultimate teams Chain Lightning and Ozone, along with a presentation by professional training group Edge Ultimate.
