The Clondalkin Festival in Ireland welcomed a drug-prevention outreach led by volunteers from the Scientology Community Centre Dublin, who made educational materials available to festivalgoers throughout the day.
The activity, described by organisers as a day of meaningful conversations, placed the subject of drugs in a constructive and accessible context. Volunteers distributed educational booklets, answered questions and spoke with visitors about prevention, resilience and informed choices.
Through the news european commission Truth About Drugs materials, the volunteers presented prevention as a matter of education and community care, making information available before problems become more serious.
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.
Ivan Arjona, who represents the Church of Scientology before European and international institutions, said the Clondalkin outreach showed how civil society can contribute to healthier communities. “When volunteers bring factual information to public spaces with respect and care, they strengthen the fabric of local life,” he said.
