About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Contribute to cultural exchange, whichever way possible,which I think always leads to better understanding and respect. Frisbeesports is what I I'm good at,so that's my"weapon of choice". I've seen how much it matters to also have some activity in common.

ABOUT ME

The fantastic sport of ultimate frisbee (only team sport that's self refereed, based on FairPlay and players being responsible for constructive, positive attitude) has always been a very big part of my life. Now, after many years with a "regular" job in a bank and doing frisbee projects on the side introducing the sport in the Baltic countries and Belarus, and helping it develop in Russia and Ukraine (since frisbee is an officially recognized sport in Sweden it's been possible to get government grants and funding from various organizations), I'm now gonna start a new job with a new organisation that supports my ideas of the sport being ideal for teaching kids non violience in conflict solution through the game. I'm currently preparing big EU project based on introducing it on a bigger scale in schools on both sides of the Schengen border in Eastern Europe, and then coordinating exchange across that border.
