Scientologists and their churches and missions across the European continent are continuing several local social betterment initiatives connected to education, prevention and practical service. As reported in Scientology Communities Across Europe Highlight Civic Responsibility and EU Values, these activities include public awareness work on the dangers of drugs, human rights education through Youth for Human Rights, and community ethics activities inspired by The Way to Happiness. Together, these programmes reflect a practical contribution to European civic life.
The article also highlights the Church’s EU values education initiative, which presents EU values and fundamental rights in plain language, including human dignity, freedom, equality, democracy, the rule of law and human news eu parlament rights. Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, said that community action helps make European principles visible in everyday life. Inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, these initiatives are presented as part of the Church’s broader humanitarian and social reform work across Europe.
