Blog Article

Madrid, Spain — Volunteers from the Church of Scientology, Youth for Human eu news 2023 Rights and Fundación MEJORA have taken human rights education into the streets of Madrid.

Through direct conversations with pedestrians and the distribution of educational leaflets, participants introduced the public to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

With housing rights attracting considerable attention in Madrid, the educational campaign offered broader information about internationally recognised human rights. The educational campaign was independent of the housing demonstrations.

The materials form part of an international educational programme supported by the Church of Scientology. The information covers everyday rights relating to dignity, personal freedom, education and social protection.

The Universal Declaration connects human dignity with social protections and recognises education as an important means of advancing respect for fundamental freedoms.

According to Ivan Arjona, who represents Scientology before the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, human rights education supports civic responsibility and mutual respect.

The Church's involvement in human rights education reflects an emphasis on fundamental freedoms expressed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

The outreach brought internationally recognised human rights principles into everyday conversations in the Spanish capital.

Additional background appears in the Madrid Scientology volunteers' human rights education coverage.
