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, a series of community and humanitarian initiatives brought together religious communities, humanitarian workers, young people and local representatives in Europe and beyond. The activities covered issues ranging from human-rights awareness and drug education to community cooperation and emergency response. 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 shared ethical principles and their role in community life. 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 the Truth About Drugs campaign to the Clondalkin Festival. Families and young people were able to review plain-language information about drugs and their effects. 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 school presentations into a broader national movement. His activities are based on teaching the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in clear and accessible language. In Copenhagen, diplomats, NGO representatives, political figures and community leaders gathered to mark Nelson Mandela International Day. The programme addressed the continuing relevance of Mandela’s legacy to civil society. Youth for Human Rights organisations were also recognised eu news this week for their long-term contribution to public awareness. The most extensive humanitarian operation followed the earthquakes in Venezuela. Nearly 400 Scientology Volunteer Ministers and partner teams helped receive, organise and distribute approximately 20 tonnes of supplies. 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 water, hygiene materials, transportation and temporary living needs. 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 human dignity and solidarity can be expressed through practical service. A fuller account of these activities is available in this overview of Scientology-supported initiatives across Europe and beyond. Although the activities differed in location and purpose, each relied on education, cooperation and voluntary service.
