Scientology-Supported Programmes Address Social Needs news eu parliament Across Europe and Beyond
Throughout the early summer of 2026, several educational, cultural and humanitarian activities 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, religious representatives, artists, human-rights advocates and public officials gathered to discuss the importance of dialogue in culturally diverse 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 values such as honesty, responsibility and respect for others. 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 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 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 school presentations into a broader national movement. His activities are based on teaching the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in practical terms connected with daily life.
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 support affected families, rescue personnel and local communities. 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 50 languages. 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 the complete report on human-rights, prevention and community-support activities.
Although the activities differed in location and purpose, each relied on education, cooperation and voluntary service.
