One of the aims of the International School for Peace Studies is to facilitate professional bodies such as Lawyers, Doctors, Nurses, Medics, Engineers, Writers, Teachers, Police and Army and others, to trace members of their professions who died in the Great War.

Messines is an ideal starting point for their journey where they can use the facilities, participate in seminars and briefing sessions, and feel the unforgettable Messines experience.

Volunteer Guides

It is planned in the near future that The International School for Peace Studies will offer annually a number of places to students to personally experience the profound impression the story of the First World War makes on visitors to the battlefields.

They will be given the opportunity to act as guides on all the various peace projects in the Messines area as part of a summer project, an experience which will be immensely fulfilling and personal.

Military Associations

Former Irish Army Lieutenant General (Retired) Gerry McMahon has agreed with the help of Sir John Gorman C.V.O., C.B.E, M.C., D.L., and former Deputy Speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly, to take responsibility for organising Military Associations that will participate in a number of planned keynote events.
