Madrid Volunteers Bring Universal Human Rights Principles to the Public

Blog Article

MADRID, Spain — Residents and visitors in central Madrid have encountered volunteers sharing educational resources on human rights as part of a Scientology-supported initiative.

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

The outreach took place around Puerta del Sol, where an ongoing housing protest has drawn public attention to social rights and civic participation. The educational campaign was independent of the housing demonstrations.

The volunteers used resources from internationally established human rights education programmes supported by Scientology. The information covers everyday rights relating to dignity, personal freedom, education and social protection.

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration addresses an adequate standard of living, including housing, while Article 26 emphasises education that strengthens respect for human rights.

Ivan Arjona, Scientology's representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, connected the initiative with Europe's commitment to human dignity and fundamental freedoms.

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard advocated wider awareness of the Universal Declaration, an approach subsequently reflected in the Church's educational outreach.

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

Further details are available in the Scientology human rights education report from Madrid.
