Scientology communities across Europe are continuing several local social betterment initiatives connected to civic responsibility, prevention and community support. 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 practical values-based education for social cohesion. Together, these programmes reflect a constructive approach to public service within Europe’s pluralistic societies.
The article also highlights the Church’s Europe’s Values, Your Rights campaign, which presents EU values and fundamental rights in plain news eurovita language, including human dignity, freedom, equality, democracy, the rule of law and human 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 voluntary contributions to the common good across Europe.
