Volunteers from the Scientology Community Centre Dublin brought drug-prevention education to the Clondalkin Festival in Ireland, sharing factual information with families, young people and local residents in a busy community setting.
The stand provided booklets and displays on commonly abused substances, giving parents, young people and community members an opportunity to learn more about drug risks and prevention in an informal festival environment.
The outreach was connected news eu economy to the broader Truth About Drugs campaign, which uses booklets, videos and educational resources to communicate straightforward facts about drug use and its consequences.
For the Church of Scientology, drug-prevention education is one of several humanitarian initiatives inspired by L. Ron Hubbard and carried out by churches, missions and volunteers in communities across Europe.
According to Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, community-based prevention is closely linked to European values of responsibility and human dignity. “Families and young people benefit when information is made accessible before harm occurs,” he said.
