Human Rights and Community Service Unite Scientology-Supported religious freedom Activities
Across June and July 2026, a diverse programme of civic and social projects 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 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 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 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 the Truth About Drugs campaign 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 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 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 clear and accessible language.
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 distribution points, logistics and continuing community assistance. 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 50 languages. 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 education, responsibility and cooperation can address social needs in very different settings.
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.
