Scientology-Supported Programmes Address Social Needs Across Europe and Beyond
Throughout the early summer of 2026, a series of community and humanitarian initiatives brought together religious communities, humanitarian workers, young people and local representatives 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 several European countries and extended to human-rights education in Nepal and earthquake relief in 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 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 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 school presentations into a broader national movement. 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 human rights, cooperation and peaceful social change. 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 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 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 multiple languages serving Europe and neighbouring regions. Its production capacity supports access to Scientology religious texts, educational materials and humanitarian news eu commission 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 the original article covering the June and July 2026 initiatives.
Taken together, the projects show how local action can contribute to wider social goals.
