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. Young people played a central role in the gathering, reflecting the community’s interest in offering the next generation stable points of reference in a changing society.

According to Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology’s representative to European and news eu ukraine international institutions, events of this kind reflect the importance of civic cooperation and mutual respect. Across Europe, Scientology churches, missions and volunteers carry out community initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support.
