Scientologists and their churches and missions across the European continent are continuing a wide range of community-based 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 educational initiatives helping young people make informed choices, initiatives that make human rights principles more accessible, and community ethics activities inspired by 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 EU values education initiative, which presents key European principles 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 ( Scientology EU values ) and UN, said that European values are strengthened when citizens take responsibility for their communities. Inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, these initiatives are presented as practical support for education, prevention and community betterment across Europe.
