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

Human Rights and Community Service Unite Scientology-Supported Activities During June and July 2026, a diverse programme of civic and social projects brought together volunteers, educators, public officials and civil-society organisations 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 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 fashion, artistic performances and social education. 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 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 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 news euro 24 education, responsibility and cooperation can address social needs in very different settings. A fuller account of these activities is available in the complete report on human-rights, prevention and community-support activities. Taken together, the projects show how local action can contribute to wider social goals.
