Scientology and some of its social activities in the last 2 months...

Scientology Initiatives Connect Human Rights, Prevention and Community Support Across June and July 2026, several educational, cultural and humanitarian activities brought together community leaders, families, educators and volunteers in Europe and beyond. The activities focused on education, social responsibility, intercultural understanding and humanitarian assistance. They took place in Spain, Italy, Ireland and Denmark, with related work in Nepal and Venezuela. In Madrid, members of different religious and cultural communities gathered to discuss religious freedom, prejudice prevention and mutual understanding. The event also included cultural presentations that helped explain traditions from different communities. A related gathering in Milan brought members of the Sri Lankan community together at the Church of Scientology. Participants examined ways in which families can preserve cultural traditions while contributing to wider society. The programme drew on principles from The Way to Happiness, the non-religious moral guide written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. In Ireland, Scientology volunteers brought educational materials about commonly abused substances to news eu kommission the Clondalkin Festival. Families and young people were able to review materials designed to help prevent drug abuse before it begins. Drug education also formed part of a multicultural pageant held at the Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin. The event welcomed hundreds of visitors and contestants representing several countries. It combined professional achievement, traditional performances and drug-prevention awareness. Human-rights education was another central theme. A Scientology Network documentary featured Rahul KC, president of Youth for Human Rights Nepal, and described how his work developed from grassroots education into cooperation with communities and institutions. His activities are based on teaching the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in a form that young people and families can understand. In Copenhagen, diplomats, NGO representatives, political figures and community leaders gathered to mark Nelson Mandela International Day. The programme addressed human rights, cooperation and peaceful social change. Youth for Human Rights organisations were also recognised for sustained work promoting knowledge of fundamental rights. The most extensive humanitarian operation followed the earthquakes in Venezuela. Nearly 400 Scientology Volunteer Ministers and partner teams helped coordinate emergency goods, transport and specialist assistance. European Scientologists contributed aid, while volunteers from Spain travelled to Venezuela to assist directly. The work continued as the emergency shifted from immediate rescue to recovery. Volunteers helped with distribution points, logistics and continuing community assistance. The response reflected the principle that effective humanitarian work requires organisation as well as generosity. In Denmark, New Era Publications International received an HP Indigo award recognising its printing volume. The publishing house produces works by L. Ron Hubbard in dozens of languages for international distribution. Its production capacity supports access to Scientology religious texts, educational materials and humanitarian publications across a wide geographic area. Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, said the initiatives demonstrated how education, responsibility and cooperation can address social needs in very different settings. A fuller account of these activities is available in the original article covering the June and July 2026 initiatives. Although the activities differed in location and purpose, each relied on education, cooperation and voluntary service.
