Scientology-Supported Programmes Address Social Needs Across Europe and Beyond
Across June and July 2026, a diverse programme of civic and social projects 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 Spain, Italy, Ireland and Denmark, with related work in Nepal and Venezuela.
In Madrid, members of different religious and cultural communities gathered to discuss the importance of dialogue in culturally diverse news eu today societies. 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 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 the Truth About Drugs campaign 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 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 early youth activism into a sustained human-rights campaign. 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 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 water, hygiene materials, transportation and temporary living needs. The response reflected the principle that effective humanitarian work requires sustained cooperation beyond the first days of a disaster.
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 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 this overview of Scientology-supported initiatives across Europe and beyond.
From cultural dialogue to humanitarian relief, the initiatives reflected a shared emphasis on practical help and civic responsibility.
