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

Scientology-Supported Programmes Address Social Needs Across Europe and Beyond Across June and July 2026, a series of community and humanitarian initiatives brought together community leaders, families, educators and volunteers in Europe and beyond. The activities addressed human rights, drug prevention, cultural dialogue and disaster relief. They took place in cities including Madrid, Milan, Dublin and Copenhagen, as well as communities 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 showed how music, dance and personal experience can overcome stereotypes. 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 educational materials about commonly abused substances to the Clondalkin Festival. Families and young people were able to review educational booklets intended to support informed choices. Drug education also formed part of a multicultural pageant held at the Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin. The event welcomed 24 contestants from seven nations and approximately 450 guests. It combined cultural celebration with messages of personal responsibility. 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 the continuing relevance of Mandela’s legacy to civil society. Youth for Human Rights organisations were also recognised 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 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 careful coordination so that aid reaches the people who need it. In Denmark, New Era Publications International received an HP Indigo award recognising its printing volume. The publishing house produces news eu commission works by L. Ron Hubbard in multiple languages serving Europe and neighbouring regions. 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. Taken together, the projects show how local action can contribute to wider social goals.
