Scientologists Bring the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to Life Across Europe
Scientologists across Europe promote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through Youth for Human Rights programs, combining education, cultural events, and international summits from Copenhagen to the UN in Geneva and New York. Rooted in L. Ron Hubbard’s teachings, they see human rights advocacy not only as civic service but as a spiritual duty, essential to social survival and personal progress toward the divine.
Members of the Church of Scientology are active across Europe in promoting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), inspired by the vision of their religious community’s Founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Through the non-profit Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) and United for Human Rights, Scientologists volunteer their time and resources to bring knowledge of the 30 rights enshrined in the UDHR to schools, communities and youth events. With booklets, audiovisuals and lesson plans translated into many languages, the program makes these fundamental rights accessible to young people of every background.

This work traces back to Mr. Hubbard’s insistence that human rights education is essential for the survival of societies. In 1969, he reprinted the UDHR in a Church magazine, highlighting that governments’ very survival depends utterly upon adopting such reforms. For Scientologists, those words remain a guiding principle. They see education on rights not merely as a public service but as an essential part of building understanding between people and ensuring dignity for every human being. In this sense, their commitment is a direct continuation of the Founder’s ideal of turning rights from a lofty declaration into a living fact.
A place in Europe whose activation on this field can’t be overlooked is Denmark. Since 2006, the religious community and diverse activists, through Youth for Human Rights Denmark, have organized innovative projects that combine education with cultural expression. Students learn through screenings of The Story of Human Rights film, creative workshops and discussions in classrooms, and the now-traditional Walk for Human Rights every December 10, where hundreds gather in Copenhagen to celebrate and demand respect for the UDHR. The program has earned recognition from both the City of Copenhagen and the national Ministry of Culture, which provided support for its activities. This official acknowledgment illustrates how initiatives born from Scientologists’ religious inspiration also contribute to civic life in concrete, measurable ways.
And Denmark is just one example. Across Europe, Scientologists and their churches have helped bring Youth for Human Rights programs to a wide variety of settings. In Brussels, the Church of Scientology for Europe co-hosted the International Youth Summit, gathering young delegates from dozens of nations to exchange strategies for spreading awareness of the UDHR. In Geneva, volunteers support annual UDHR Anniversary celebration at UN premises, giving voice to dozens of NGOs from accross Europe that contribute to make human rights closer to a fact, and often with the use of Youth for Human Rights International materials. Then there is the annual Summits at the United Nations, where youth delegates present projects to diplomats, NGOs and human rights experts. at the UN Headquarters in New York, providing a global platform for the voices of young people committed to making rights a reality. In Madrid and other capitals, Scientologists join with schools, civic leaders and interfaith groups to mark milestones such as Human Rights Day and anniversaries of the UDHR. Together, these initiatives form a network of education and advocacy that stretches from local classrooms to the world stage.
What unites these efforts is more than civic engagement. For Scientologists, championing human rights is also a spiritual expression, deeply rooted in their faith. The Creed of the Church of Scientology explicitly affirms human rights, underscoring their central place in religious practice. Scientology teaches that life is best understood as a progression through eight dynamics—spheres or urges of survival that extend from the self and the family, through groups, humankind and the natural universe, and ultimately toward spirituality and the infinite, which is how Scientologists commonly describe the concept of God.
Caring for others and safeguarding their rights lies at the heart of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Dynamics, where the individual recognizes survival as part of humanity, nature and spiritual awareness. Scientologists believe that only by strengthening and improving survival across these dynamics—by upholding the dignity of others—can one gradually advance toward the Eighth Dynamic, identified with the Supreme Being, God or infinity.
In this light, their human rights work is not an isolated project but an integral step in a broader spiritual journey.
As a Church spokesperson Ivan Arjona summarized: “Youth for Human Rights’ mission is to make human rights a fact, not just an idealistic dream. For Scientologists, every effort to teach and protect human rights builds understanding of our place within the broader fabric of life—and step by step, this is what brings us closer to the highest truths of existence.”
From Copenhagen sidewalks to Brussels conference halls, from annual youth summits at the United Nations in Geneva and New York to classroom and civil society projects in Madrid, Amsterdam and beyond, Scientologists continue to honor Mr Hubbard’s vision: that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights should be known, lived and safeguarded. Their efforts show that when people are educated on their rights, societies grow stronger, individuals find common ground, and the path toward greater spiritual awareness remains open to all.

Beyond the Goodbye: Final Moment Unveils Enhanced “Legacy Milestones” to Bridge the Gap Between Generations
Carrolton, GA, 23rd April 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Following a landmark launch that redefined digital remembrance, Final Moment is doubling down on its mission to humanize technology. The company today announced the rollout of “Legacy Milestones,” a series of enhanced features designed to turn digital archives into living, breathing connections for families navigating life’s most important chapters. While the initial launch proved that the world was ready for a digital memorial platform, this next phase focuses on the “active” side of memory. Final Moment is no longer just a place to store the past; it is becoming a vehicle for future presence.

The Power of Being There, Even When You’re Not
The heart of the update lies in the expanded Milestone Messaging system. Users can now curate “Life Packages”—batches of videos, letters, and advice specifically triggered by their loved ones’ future life events, such as a child’s graduation, a wedding day, or even the birth of a grandchild.
We realized very quickly that our users weren’t just looking for a digital filing cabinet; they were looking for a way to still provide comfort and wisdom from the sidelines,” said Michael Avery, Founder and CEO of Final Moment. “With Legacy Milestones, we’re making it possible for a father to walk his daughter down the aisle through a video message recorded years prior, or for a grandmother to share a secret recipe on a specific holiday. It’s about being present for the moments that matter most.”
New Innovations in the Second Chapter
To support this deepened emotional connection, Final Moment has introduced several key updates:
-
- The “Wisdom Well”: A dedicated space for users to record “Life Lessons” or ethical wills, categorized by topic (finances, love, resilience), ensuring their values are inherited alongside their assets.
- Enhanced Interactive Timelines: A more intuitive interface that allows families to collaborate on a loved one’s memorial, adding their own stories and photos to create a multi-perspective history.
- Verified Legacy Handover: A streamlined security protocol that ensures designated “Legacy Guardians” can access content seamlessly when the time comes, providing peace of mind without the technical headache.
A Human Approach to a Growing Industry
Co-founder Damien Hinman emphasizes that while the tech is sophisticated, the goal is simplicity. “We’ve seen a massive shift in how people view their digital footprint,” Hinman noted. “People don’t want to be remembered by a cold social media profile. They want a curated, warm, and intentional legacy. We are providing the tools to make that transition from ‘data’ to ‘heritage’.”
Scaling for the Future
The success of the initial launch has paved the way for Final Moment to integrate more deeply with the funeral and estate planning sectors. By offering a bridge between traditional end-of-life services and the digital age, Final Moment is quickly becoming the gold standard for how modern families manage the emotional weight of loss. “Our goal is to ensure no story is ever lost to time,” Avery added. “This update is another step toward making sure that when we say ‘goodbye,’ it doesn’t mean our story has to end.”
About Final Moment
Final Moment is a technology-driven company dedicated to transforming remembrance and legacy preservation. Founded by Michael Avery with Damien Hinman as cofounder, the company combines secure digital storage with emotional storytelling tools that empower individuals to build online memorials, share lasting messages, and connect with loved ones beyond life.

-
A legacy of artistic achievement continues as Long Lake Camp remains a leading destination for immersive performing arts education for youth.
Dobbs Ferry, NY, 23rd April 2026, ZEXPRWIRE — For more than five decades, Long Lake Camp for the Arts has stood as a cornerstone of creative education in New York, shaping generations of young performers, artists, and storytellers. As one of the nation’s most respected overnight performing arts programs, the camp proudly celebrates its enduring legacy of fostering artistic growth, confidence, and lifelong passion for the arts.
Founded in 1969, Long Lake Camp for the Arts was built on the belief that young people thrive when given the freedom to express themselves creatively while receiving professional guidance. Set against the scenic backdrop of the Adirondack Mountains, the camp provides an immersive environment where campers ages 8 to 16 engage in theater, music, dance, and fine arts in a supportive, community-driven setting.
Over the years, Long Lake has earned national recognition for its role in nurturing talent that has gone on to achieve success across major creative industries.

“Long Lake Camp has always been about more than performance—it’s about helping young people discover who they are through creative expression,” said a representative of the camp. “Our goal is to provide a space where every camper feels supported, encouraged, and inspired to grow both artistically and personally.”
Unlike traditional programs that follow rigid schedules, Long Lake Camp offers a flexible, camper-driven structure. Participants design their own daily experiences, choosing from a wide range of disciplines and activities that align with their interests. This personalized approach allows campers to build skills at their own pace while gaining exposure to multiple art forms.
Campers receive daily instruction and mentorship from experienced artists and educators while gaining access to professional-grade theaters, studios, and creative workspaces. They participate in fully staged productions, concerts, and showcases, all while enjoying a balance of artistic training and traditional camp experiences such as swimming, kayaking, and community events.
This combination of structure and creative freedom has positioned Long Lake as a leader among overnight performing arts programs in New York.

Long Lake Camp for the Arts Redefines the Performing Arts Summer Camp Experience for 2026
-
A new era of creative immersion begins in the Adirondacks, where young artists ages 8–16 design their own path in theater, music, dance, and fine arts.
Dobbs Ferry, NY, 23rd April 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Long Lake Camp for the Arts announces an exciting and expanded vision for its 2026 summer season, continuing its decades-long tradition of artistic excellence while introducing enhanced programming designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s young performers and creators.
Nestled on a private 200-acre lakefront campus in the heart of New York’s Adirondack Mountains, Long Lake Camp has long stood apart from traditional summer programs. Rather than prescribing a rigid curriculum, the camp empowers each child to customize their experience across theater, musical performance, dance, visual arts, and music composition. For 2026, that core philosophy remains—now supported by expanded masterclasses, interdisciplinary workshops, and new performance opportunities.
Campers ages 8 to 16 choose how they want to spend their summer: starring in musicals, developing dramatic monologues, building portfolios in painting and sculpture, composing original music, or blending multiple disciplines into a uniquely personalized schedule. Professional directors, teaching artists, and working performers provide daily instruction through one-on-one coaching, ensemble rehearsals, studio intensives, and detailed performance critiques.
“Every child who comes to Long Lake deserves the opportunity to discover their creative voice in a setting that is both professionally rigorous and emotionally supportive. Our goal is to give young artists the tools, mentorship, and confidence they need to thrive—not just on stage, but in life,” said a spokesperson for Long Lake Camp for the Arts.
The result is a pre-professional training environment that remains developmentally supportive and age-appropriate. At Long Lake, artistic rigor coexists with encouragement. There are no mandatory auditions to participate in productions, ensuring that every camper performs at a level aligned with their confidence and goals.
Long Lake’s legacy of excellence is reflected in the accomplishments of its alumni. Academy Award winner Adrien Brody, known for his performance in The Pianist, began honing his craft at Long Lake. Grammy Award-winning performer Cristin Milioti, recognized for her work in Palm Springs and on Broadway, is also among its former campers. Internationally acclaimed actress Chiara Mastroianni, recipient of France’s César Award, once stood on the same Adirondack stage current campers call their own.
Yet Long Lake measures success not solely by accolades, but by personal transformation. Families consistently report that campers return home with heightened confidence, stronger communication skills, and a deeper sense of self-expression. The camp’s structure intentionally balances disciplined artistic training with classic summer recreation. Outside rehearsal hours, campers swim, kayak, participate in talent nights, gather around campfires, and build lifelong friendships in a technology-light, community-centered environment.
The 2026 season will also introduce expanded wellness and performance psychology workshops, helping young artists develop resilience, stage presence, and collaborative skills—tools that serve them well beyond the performing arts.
With professional theaters, rehearsal studios, costume and set design facilities, music rooms, and fine arts spaces all located on its scenic lakefront property, Long Lake provides an infrastructure rarely found in youth programs. Every production is camper-driven, guided by expert mentorship yet fueled by individual creativity.
Due to consistently high enrollment and strong return rates, spaces for the 2026 season are expected to fill quickly. Families are encouraged to inquire early to secure preferred session dates and housing options.
