Scientology communities across Europe are continuing a wide range of 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 educational initiatives helping young people make informed choices, 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 campaign on European values and fundamental rights, which presents the civic eu newsletter foundations of European democracy in plain language, including the values set out in European treaties and human-rights instruments. 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 voluntary contributions to the common good across Europe.
