Scientologists and their churches and missions across the European continent are continuing various neighbourhood-level social betterment initiatives connected to human rights education, drug prevention and volunteer action. As reported in Scientology Communities Across Europe Highlight Civic Responsibility and EU Values, these activities include drug-prevention outreach through Foundation for a Drug-Free World, initiatives that make human rights principles more accessible, and moral education based on The Way to Happiness. Together, these programmes reflect a constructive approach to public service within Europe’s pluralistic societies.
The article also highlights the Church’s campaign on European values and fundamental rights, which presents EU values and news euros fundamental rights in plain language, including respect for dignity, freedom of conscience and fundamental rights. Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, said that freedom of religion or belief should be expressed through respect, education and service. 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.
