“Despite the fact that today’s world has become a global village; our society remains fragmented and permeated with suspicion and misunderstanding.  The role of protocol, in such a context, is critical – helping us build bridges of respect and connection between different peoples and cultures.  Set in the heart of Europe, the International School of Protocol offers students a unique opportunity for hands-on learning in this important field.”

(Dr David Willows, Director of External Relations, International School of Brussels, Belgium)

“1. I can now boost of a tremendous growth in my ability to share knowledge, experiences and emotions by leading the minds of others.
2. I have developed a much more higher sense of belonging to a global society and also how wonderful a world full of different cultures in harmony would be, if our senses of co-operation and co-existence are well controlled.
3. It is well confirmed that my character of seeking the best for others can attract appreciations and reward by reputable institutions like the international school of protocol in Brussels.
4. I HAVE REALISED THAT DREAMS OF THE PAST WILL NOT DIE IF ONE IS CONNECTED TO THE WORLD THROUGH THE RIGHT CHANNELS.
5. I believe the above statements speak with a unique voice, that ISPD has got what it takes, to take me and you to the road towards our dreamlands, where common people can achieve uncommon results.”

(RICHARD NANA AMOAKO – Lecturer (African protocol-ISPD, Brussels-Belgium))

“Not everyone realizes that protocol has been part of life for thousands of years, and still is.
While good manners are the rules one follows in everyday contacts with other people, protocol is the set of rules prescribing good manners in official life and in ceremonies involving governments and nations and their representatives.
It is the recognized system of international courtesy. Even on national level, protocol is conductive to smooth relations because it provides simple answers to what might otherwise be difficult questions of rank and formality.”

(Eddy Van den Bussche, Chief of protocol of the federal public service Interior)

“In my contacts with the Brussels School of Protocol and indeed in my job as lecturer there what did strike me was not only their youth, but also their efficiency and professional capacity. It is a school and a course of studies extremely well organised, that has all my support.”

(Luis Ritto, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the European Community to the United Nations Organisations, to the Holy See and to the Order of Malta)

“My experience in the International School of Protocol in Brussels has been very useful for me because I learnt how to deal with other cultures in a professional ambience following some official rules that are common knowledge for important people. Additionally, since I shared my viewpoints with other international students and since we all had different feedbacks from the ways of approaching the study cases we followed in the School, the experience was particularly rich for me. I really consider that in our current society, where we have lost our compass not only economically but also morally, protocol plays a key role for shortening our human being distances”.

(Rubén López Rivas, student of ISPD Brussels)

“Comprehensive protocol and etiquette training are essential nowadays to create expert and qualified professionals, the most valuable resources in a highly competitive business world. International School of Protocol in Brussels has the duty of maintaining a commitment to quality by providing contemporary and worldwide accepted communication and protocol training! It has been a pleasure to attend recently the “Fall Scholl” – four days exchanging important knowledge in a really multicultural environment!”

(Cristina Marques Fernandes, student of ISP Brussels)

“I appreciated the Cross Cultural Communication and Protocol Fall School (2009) Training provided by International School of Protocol in Brussels. The visits to the European Commission and European Parliament were astonishing. It was educational and, simultaneously, enjoyable. It was also a wonderful opportunity to meet great professionals from other countries and to share diverse experiences. Inês Blu Rodrigues’ presentation was fun and very interactive. The International School of Protocol in Brussels has a modern approach in teaching Protocol”.

(Susana de Salazar Casanova, student of ISP Brussels)
