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

Scientology Initiatives Connect Human Rights, Prevention and Community Support Throughout the early summer of 2026, a series of community and humanitarian initiatives brought together volunteers, educators, public officials and civil-society organisations 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, religious representatives, artists, human-rights advocates and public officials gathered to discuss religious freedom, prejudice prevention and mutual understanding. The event also included cultural presentations that placed cultural identity within a wider discussion of respect and civic participation. 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 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 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 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 years of educational activity. 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 the movement of essential goods and support for displaced families. 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 news eu parliament 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 the original article covering the June and July 2026 initiatives. From cultural dialogue to humanitarian relief, the initiatives reflected a shared emphasis on practical help and civic responsibility.
