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

Human Rights and Community Service Unite Scientology-Supported Activities Throughout the early summer of 2026, a diverse programme of civic and social projects brought together community leaders, families, educators and volunteers 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, 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 helped explain traditions from different communities. 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 drug-prevention information to the Clondalkin Festival. Families and young people were able to review plain-language information about drugs and their effects. Drug education also formed part of a multicultural pageant held at the Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin. The event welcomed participants from a wide range of cultural and professional backgrounds. 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 eu news express 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 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 equality, dignity and discrimination in the workplace. 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 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 the movement of essential goods and support for displaced families. 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 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 European values become meaningful when translated into community action. A fuller account of these activities is available in the original article covering the June and July 2026 initiatives. Although the activities differed in location and purpose, each relied on education, cooperation and voluntary service.
