Scientology-Supported Programmes Address Social Needs Across Europe and Beyond
During June and July 2026, several educational, cultural and humanitarian activities 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 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 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 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 hundreds of visitors and contestants representing several countries. 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 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 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 news europe 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 this overview of Scientology-supported initiatives across Europe and beyond.
Taken together, the projects show how local action can contribute to wider social goals.
