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.

Community representatives, families and young people reflected on the importance of respect, honesty, responsibility and peaceful coexistence in daily life. 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 international institutions, events of this kind reflect the importance of civic cooperation and mutual respect. The Church of Scientology and its volunteers support Milan social betterment initiatives across Europe, including education, prevention and community programmes inspired by L. Ron Hubbard.
