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, several educational, cultural and humanitarian activities brought together religious communities, humanitarian workers, young people and local representatives in Europe and beyond. The activities focused on education, social responsibility, intercultural understanding and humanitarian assistance. They took place in Spain, Italy, Ireland and Denmark, with related work in Nepal and Venezuela. In Madrid, civil-society figures, educators and cultural performers gathered to discuss diversity, freedom of religion and peaceful coexistence. 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 cultural celebration with messages of personal responsibility. 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 grassroots education into cooperation with communities and institutions. 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 scientology mark Nelson Mandela International Day. The programme addressed the continuing relevance of Mandela’s legacy to civil society. 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 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 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 human dignity and solidarity can be expressed through practical service. A fuller account of these activities is available in the original article covering the June and July 2026 initiatives. From cultural dialogue to humanitarian relief, the initiatives reflected a shared emphasis on practical help and civic responsibility.
