Members of Milan’s Sri Lankan community recently took part in an intercultural event at the Church of Scientology, centred on peaceful coexistence, youth participation and common values. The meeting highlighted The Way to Happiness and intercultural dialogue, using the common-sense moral code written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard as a basis for discussion.

Participants discussed how simple principles such as trustworthiness, care for others and respect for different beliefs can support harmony in a multicultural city. The presence of young participants gave the event a forward-looking character, connecting cultural identity with civic responsibility and respect for others.

Ivan Arjona noted that Europe’s strength is also found in families, communities and volunteers who help build trust across cultures. Across Europe, Scientology churches, missions and news eu commission volunteers carry out community initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support.
