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 shared values and community dialogue in Milan, using the common-sense moral code written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard as a basis for discussion.
The event gave families, community leaders and young people a space to discuss responsibility, mutual respect and the role of values in integration. A particular focus was placed on younger generations, with Sri Lankan community leaders encouraging youth participation so that eu newspapers young people could become familiar with ethical principles that may guide future choices.
According to Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology’s representative to European and international institutions, events of this kind reflect the importance of civic cooperation and mutual respect. The Milan event formed part of wider Scientology-supported efforts in Europe to encourage education, prevention, ethical values and community betterment.
