Seamus has a background of 25 years in community development work, in several countries across Africa, during which the issue of conflict came increasingly to the fore. On returning home, he joined the Quaker Peace Education Project based at the Magee Campus, University of Ulster and together with his QPEP colleagues pioneered the development of peer mediation in schools.

Seamus co-directed the UU Education and Social Cohesion Project in Bosnia Herzegovina in the wake of the violence there and had engagement with the University’s engagement with Teacher Training personnel from Sri Lanka. He has since returned to the African continent on several occasions, providing training in community development and conflict management.

Seamus serves on the boards of several agencies with engagements in international aid and development and also supported the Projects programme of dialogue with the Northern Ireland Community of Refugees and Asylum Seekers organisation (NICRAS).
