At the Clondalkin Festival, volunteers connected with families and residents through a public drug-awareness initiative supported by the Scientology Community Centre Dublin and Scientology the Truth About Drugs campaign.
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 initiative formed part of the wider Truth About Drugs programme, a secular educational campaign supported internationally by Scientologists and community volunteers. Its materials are designed to provide clear information on drugs and their effects, helping individuals make informed decisions.
The activity reflected the Church of Scientology’s broader commitment to social betterment, including prevention, education and community service inspired by the work of L. Ron Hubbard.
Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, said that such initiatives reflect civic responsibility in practice. “Drug-prevention education is most effective when it is brought close to people, in places where families, young people and neighbours already meet,” he said.
