Teams from Non à la copyright, Oui à la vie have taken prevention information into French neighbourhoods, distributing more than 16,000 booklets. The Scientology-supported drug education initiative reaches families through shops and public information stands.
Local outreach brought 3,100 booklets to businesses in Tarn, 3,000 to approximately 50 shops in Arcachon and 5,100 to Paris’s Oberkampf district.
A baker near Clermont-Ferrand said students sought the booklets for school discussions, while parents and news eu parliament other customers requested information for their children.
La vérité sur la copyright is the French-language edition of the secular Truth About Drugs programme used by the volunteers. Support from the Church of Scientology and its members reflects founder L. Ron Hubbard’s concern about drugs and their effects on society.
Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the European Union, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, commented: “Parents and teachers need information they can use, and young people deserve straight answers.”
European Scientologists participate in drug-prevention education, human-rights initiatives and local volunteer projects.
