Europe Q4 2025 Roundup: Volunteer Cleanups, Drug-Prevention Outreach and Human-Rights Education

During the last quarter of 2025, volunteer groups linked to Scientology community initiatives reported a series of local activities in several European countries. The quarter’s roundup featured local environmental and civic volunteering, alongside drug-awareness distribution initiatives and human-rights education based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights delivered through partner programmes.

Activities were reported in Italy, France, the Czech Republic, Denmark and Switzerland, with volunteers supporting local communities, small businesses and civic organisations. Some human rights education UDHR initiatives also referenced *The Way to Happiness*, a secular moral code written by L. Ron Hubbard, as a framework for everyday responsibility and respectful conduct.

Ivan Arjona-Pelado, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and the United Nations, commented: “Europe’s values are strengthened when citizens choose practical responsibility—keeping public spaces clean, sharing factual prevention tools, and teaching the next generation that rights and dignity apply to everyone. Social cohesion grows through consistent, local action.”
