European Scientologists’ 2025 Civic Year: Drug Education, Human-Rights Literacy and Community Service Across the Continent
BRUSSELS, Belgium — 31 December 2025 — Across Europe, the Church of Scientology civic actions maintains a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions, and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives. Supported by a central European hub in Brussels serving European institutions and international organizations, this 2025 year-in-review brings together the initiatives reported throughout the year—reflecting an organized, values-driven commitment to strengthening communities, promoting human dignity, and supporting civic responsibility through practical, local action.
Throughout 2025, reports published by Scientology Europe documented a broad range of community-focused initiatives carried out by Scientologists and Scientology-linked volunteer groups. Spanning dozens of localities across Western, Central, Eastern and Northern Europe, the year’s reporting highlights sustained engagement in public-interest priorities, including drug-prevention education, human-rights awareness, ethical and civic action, and volunteer-led community support, as well as selected global humanitarian developments followed by European audiences.
Many of the initiatives described during the year draw on long-established educational and humanitarian programmes supported by Scientologists. These include Truth About Drugs materials distributed by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World; Youth for Human Rights educational resources based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme, which provides training and tools for addressing everyday and emergency challenges; and The Way to Happiness, a non-religious moral code authored by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, presented as a 21-precept guide used in community and civic settings. Together, these programmes form the practical framework through which local initiatives are organised and delivered.
A year anchored in European civic life
The year opened in Belgium with coverage marking institutional milestones in Brussels, where an anniversary event commemorated five decades of Scientology’s presence in the capital of Europe and fifteen years at Boulevard de Waterloo. The gathering brought together representatives of other faiths and civil-society actors, with Ivan Arjona-Pelado, Scientology’s representative to the European Union institutions and the United Nations, reflecting on the organisation’s history in Belgium and its public-facing social initiatives.
Early-year reporting also recognised volunteer work in Central Europe, highlighted international awareness campaigns addressing human trafficking, and provided a broader institutional overview of Scientology’s global activities entering 2025. Together, these initial reports set the tone for a year focused on continuity, public engagement and structured civic contribution.
Religious freedom, human-rights advocacy and public presence
As the year progressed, reporting reflected sustained engagement with questions of religious freedom, human rights and public participation. Coverage included Scientology’s involvement in international discussions on freedom of belief, the opening of new community facilities in Central Europe designed to serve as local hubs, and advocacy initiatives addressing human rights in the field of mental health through the work of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights.
Additional reports during this period underscored growing public interest and long-term presence in several European countries, alongside charitable and volunteer activities addressing social needs, including Sweden’s recognition milestone and community-facing engagement in Denmark. A commemorative feature marking the birthday of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard situated these activities within the historical context of the movement’s humanitarian emphasis.
Prevention and education as sustained priorities
Drug-prevention outreach and youth education formed one of the most consistent strands of activity throughout 2025. From spring onward, reports described grassroots initiatives engaging young people, parents and educators, including local prevention outreach in Denmark, as well as coordinated national efforts in several countries such as France. These activities ranged from neighbourhood-level distribution of educational materials to larger public campaigns and community events, reflecting a sustained focus on early prevention and informed decision-making.
Public-space outreach at cultural and sporting events complemented this work, including Brussels-based engagement at public festivals. The year concluded with further reports of street-level prevention initiatives in major European cities, including work in Vienna, illustrating how prevention education continued as an active priority through the final months of the year.
Civic action, ethics and volunteer service in public spaces
Alongside prevention and education, visible community service remained a central feature of the year’s activities. Reports documented coordinated volunteer actions across multiple cities, including multi-city civic initiatives in the Czech Republic, addressing practical needs such as neighbourhood improvement, environmental stewardship and community assistance.
Particular attention was given to initiatives led by Volunteer Ministers and groups distributing The Way to Happiness in public spaces, highlighting ethical guidance and civic responsibility as tools for strengthening public spaces and local cooperation. Activities in Southern and Central Europe, as well as cross-border efforts, illustrated how these initiatives were adapted to local contexts while remaining aligned with shared principles, including Swiss civic action and community events in Lugano.
Human-rights education and international dialogue
Human-rights education constituted a third pillar of the year’s reporting, with recurring references to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as an educational foundation.
Local events across Europe focused on bringing human-rights principles into schools, associations and community forums, including a continent-wide focus on UDHR education, while international coverage from Geneva connected grassroots education with broader institutional dialogue around Human Rights Day.
Related reporting also addressed freedom of belief and coexistence, including recognition of voices for religious freedom, as well as public reflections on the role of belief in contemporary European societies, including commentary on Pope Leo XIV’s October prayer.
Community life, interfaith moments and international perspectives
Beyond structured programmes, 2025 coverage reflected the everyday community life of Scientologists across Europe. Reports highlighted interfaith greetings and cultural celebrations, seasonal events, national anniversaries and local ceremonies, including a Spain-focused milestone marking 45 years of Scientology’s presence, illustrating how community engagement extended beyond formal initiatives.
Additional features introduced European audiences to international humanitarian stories and media profiles, including Isabelle Vladoiu’s human-rights profile, Voices for Humanity with Catalina Maldonado, a literacy campaign featured on Voices for Humanity, and a Netherlands-based foundation training youth on media and human rights, underscoring the global dimension of the movement’s social outreach.
In a statement prepared for this year-end overview, Ivan Arjona-Pelado, Scientology’s representative to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said:
“Across Europe, trust in our communities is built through practical responsibility—helping neighbours, maintaining dignified public spaces, sharing factual prevention education, and ensuring young people understand their rights. These are civic values Europeans recognise, and they are strengthened when citizens act consistently and locally.”
Taken together, the actions documented throughout 2025 demonstrate a clear and continuous contribution by European Scientologists and Scientology-linked volunteers to public-interest priorities, including prevention, education, human rights and community resilience. Rooted in the humanitarian principles articulated by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and aligned with European values of responsibility and solidarity, these initiatives reflect a sustained commitment to strengthening social cohesion, safeguarding human dignity and supporting constructive civic engagement across the continent.
The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present throughout the European continent. Scientology is a contemporary religion founded by L. Ron Hubbard, and its members support a range of community initiatives focused on education, prevention and community betterment. Scientology’s European public-affairs work includes engagement with civil society, international organisations and public institutions, and its recognition as a charitable and bona fide religion continues to grow in a number of jurisdictions.

On May 26, 2026 Streamex (NASDAQ: STEX) announced the appointment of Kori Handy as Vice President of Product and Design. Streamex is a technology company building a tokenization ecosystem for all real-world assets, beginning with commodities.
Canada, 30th May 2026 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Streamex Corp. On May 26, 2026 Streamex (NASDAQ: STEX) announced the appointment of Kori Handy as Vice President of Product and Design.
Streamex is a technology company building a tokenization ecosystem for all real-world assets, beginning with commodities.
“The majority of IT-focused employers worldwide are flat‑out struggling to find the skilled tech talent they need,” reports Alpha Apex.
“It is rare that a company at our stage is able to attract this many experienced, successful people,” Streamex CEO Henry McPhie confirmed to Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “I’ve received calls from other tech CEOs asking how we did it. Our elite team understand the technology, and see the growth opportunity. Kori Handy has scaled multiple companies by making products more intuitive. He will be a key player for Streamex as we expand our product line.”
The hiring of Mr. Handy follows the recruitment of CFO Christine Plummer, former Global Controller at Coinbase; Director Anthony Marciano, a Clinical Professor of Finance at the Leonard N. Stern School of Business; Director Shawn Matthews, the Founder and CIO of Hondius Capital and former CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald; CIO Mitchell Williams, who managed multi-billion dollar global and domestic equity portfolios and Director Kevin Gopaul, who helped architect and scale BMO’s $100 billion ETF franchise.
“Kori understands how to take highly complex financial infrastructure and turn it into experiences that feel simple, premium, and deeply intuitive,” stated McPhie in the May 26 press release. “As we scale GLDY and introduce the next generation of tokenized financial products, Kori will play a major role in shaping how the world experiences modern digital assets.”
Mr. Handy most recently served as Product Design Leader at Groundfloor, the award-winning real estate investing platform with more than $2.5B in Assets Under Management (AUM) and over 280,000 investors. He led a full redesign across web and mobile platforms.
“I’ve always believed the future belongs to companies that can take powerful technology and make it feel simple, emotional, and accessible to everyday people,” stated Handy. “We’re not just designing another fintech product, we’re designing the future experience of owning and interacting with real-world assets on-chain.”
On May 26, 2026 Streamex CEO Henry McPhie appeared on a YouTube episode of “When Shift Happens” (WSH) hosted by Swiss journalist Kevin Follonier, who has created “an unfiltered space for the deepest conversations with Web3 pioneers”.
Web3 empowers users to control their data, digital assets, and online identities.
“For those belonging to the Boomer or GenX generations, the Web3 learning curve can seem insurmountable,” states Medium.com. Follonier’s interviews help flatten that curve by challenging tech CEO’s to “Explain it to my mom.”
Follonier: You’re the co-founder and CEO of Streamex. What is Streamex? Explain it to my mom.
McPhie: We are a public company. We issue tokenized commodities. That is taking the physical asset, whether that’s gold or silver, and then creating a digital representation of it, the same way that a stock represents ownership in a company. You can trade it, you can sell it, you can do whatever you want with it, because you own it.”
Follonier: Explain to my mom why we need tokenized commodities.
McPhie: If you wanted to go buy gold, it would cost you money to store it. If you buy our product, which is GLDY, you can get the same exposure to gold, and you get a 3.5% annual yield for holding it. For any commodity, tokenization gives you the ability to own real-world assets, while getting a yield on top of it.
Follonier: Explain to my mom why it is not possible to earn yield on a non-tokenized asset?
McPhie: “If you own physical gold, it just sits there. Warren Buffett’s pet rock theory. We’ve partnered with a group called Monetary Metals, which is a gold leasing company. Our largest lease client is a $4.5 billion publicly traded jewelry company that has 6,000 stores worldwide. They need gold to be able to create the jewelry. Whether it’s a watch, a bracelet or a chain. They lease the gold from us, and they pay us to be able to use it.”
On May 21, 2026 Streamex hosted its Q1 2026 Earnings and Corporate Update, which included the following highlights:
Equity Trust – access to $72B+ and 359,000 U.S. tax-advantaged retirement accounts. An upcoming integration with Equity Trust Company opens GLDY to a distribution channel that previously had no pathway to tokenized commodity products, unlocking a significant addressable market of U.S. retirement capital.
Orca – 24/7 decentralized secondary market for tokenized securities. Streamex and Orca have entered into a development partnership agreement to build a compliant, permissioned secondary trading venue for tokenized securities, starting with GLDY. Holders will have the ability to trade their position at any time on decentralized infrastructure, with compliance enforced automatically at the wallet level.
Wintermute – instant T+0 liquidity. A collaboration with Wintermute, one of the world’s leading institutional liquidity providers, enables GLDY investors to mint and redeem their positions instantly, 24/7, reducing settlement from T+2 to T+0 and removing a key friction point for prospective investors.
GLDY is live, earning yield, and proven. GLDY closed Q1 with approximately $14 million in AUM (3,096 oz), paid its first dividends of 10.48 oz of gold to holders, and NAV continues to track the gold price exactly as designed. The infrastructure is auditable, operational, and now the foundation for every product that follows.
$45.85M cash position, zero debt, and a clean capital structure. Q1 capital actions, a $40.25M equity raise and full retirement of all convertible debentures, leave Streamex fully deleveraged with management expecting significantly more than 12 months of runway at current burn rates. The Company is executing its roadmap from a position of financial strength.
“This was the quarter Streamex went from preparation to proof,” stated Morgan Lekstrom, Co-Founder & Executive Chairman of Streamex in the May 21 update. “We launched our first product, paid our first dividends to GLDY holders, retired all of our convertible debt, and strategically built an institutional partnership ecosystem that we believe uniquely positions the Company for substantial, scalable growth.”
