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.

Uluwatu, Bali, 17th Jan 2026, — High above the white sands of Nyang Nyang Beach, a new collection of villas is quietly taking shape. Nyala Villas has unveiled ten wellness-focused residences in one of Bali’s most unspoilt coastal settings, offering a slower, more considered approach to both living and investment. Set within protected green surroundings, the villas sit on the cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, where the sound of the waves and open skies shape daily life. While Nyang Nyang feels remote, it remains closely connected to Uluwatu and Bali’s wider lifestyle and short stay rental market, which continues to attract wellness travellers, surfers, and long-stay international visitors. Each villa has been designed around wellbeing rather than excess. Sunrise yoga decks, hot and cold plunge pools, saunas, outdoor rain showers, and private rooftop terraces are integrated into every home. Developed in collaboration with Swatch Architects, the design blends modern lines with natural materials and subtle Moroccan influences, creating spaces that feel calm, grounded, and in tune with their surroundings.
While lifestyle is central, Nyala Villas has also been carefully structured from an investment perspective. Early buyers will receive a 12% guaranteed net income for the first three years, subject to the project’s terms and conditions, with projected rental returns estimated between 12% and 18% thereafter. As Bali’s tourism market continues to evolve, demand for high-quality, wellness- oriented accommodation remains strong, particularly in quieter coastal locations

Launch pricing for the initial release starts from USD $199,000 for selected units, tied specifically to the private Launch Day allocation. Owners benefit from a fully managed experience, with an all-in management fee of 18% covering bookings, marketing, housekeeping, and ongoing maintenance. A dedicated online portal allows owners to track performance transparently, while one-, two-, and three bedroom layouts are delivered fully furnished and ready for personal use or rental.

Press Release
KBY Exchange Supports the Global Shift Toward Web3 Compliance Amid Rising Regulatory Standards
Singapore, January 16, 2026 — As global regulators intensify oversight of digital finance and Web3-based financial infrastructures, compliance has rapidly shifted from an optional safeguard to a fundamental requirement for long-term viability. Recent industry data indicates that a significant majority of centralized digital finance platforms worldwide have now implemented comprehensive identity verification and customer due diligence frameworks, marking a critical milestone in the maturation of the Web3 ecosystem.
Against this backdrop, KBY Exchange is positioning itself as an active advocate for compliant, transparent, and sustainable digital finance development, supporting a future where Web3 innovation and regulatory frameworks evolve together—rather than in opposition.
From Ideals to Infrastructure: A Defining Moment for Web3
For more than a decade, early Web3 development emphasized openness, decentralization, and permissionless access. However, as digital finance systems expanded into large-scale, cross-border financial infrastructure, regulators worldwide were compelled to respond to increasing risks related to financial crime, sanctions exposure, and misuse of digital payment networks.
The implementation of FATF-aligned guidelines, the global rollout of cross-border transaction traceability requirements in nearly 100 jurisdictions, and a wave of high-profile enforcement actions have reshaped industry expectations.
Today, compliance is no longer a limitation—it is the gateway to participating in global digital finance markets.
KBY Exchange views this transition not as a constraint, but as a necessary evolution toward a mature, resilient Web3 financial infrastructure.
Compliance as a Competitive Advantage
KBY Exchange aligns its operational framework with internationally recognized standards for AML controls, customer identification, and sanctions screening, reflecting a broader shift across the digital finance industry toward accountability and risk discipline. Key pillars include:
- Robust identity verification and customer due diligence
- Continuous transaction monitoring with risk-based controls
- Alignment with global regulatory principles governing Web3 financial service providers
By embedding compliance at the infrastructure level, KBY Exchange supports long-term platform stability while enhancing user confidence and institutional readiness.
Restoring Trust After Market Turbulence
Recent years have demonstrated the cost of weak governance across the broader digital finance landscape. Enforcement actions and platform failures have exposed the systemic risks created by inadequate compliance frameworks and poor internal controls.
In response, institutional participants and professional users are increasingly prioritizing platforms that demonstrate transparent operations, clear accountability structures, and strong risk management practices.
KBY Exchange recognizes that trust has become the scarcest asset in Web3. Compliance is not only a regulatory obligation—it is a core requirement for users seeking security, predictability, and sustainable participation in digital finance ecosystems.
Bridging Web3 Innovation and Global Standards
Rather than viewing regulation as an obstacle, KBY Exchange supports a cooperative model in which technology enhances compliance efficiency. Advances in automated identity verification, AI-driven risk monitoring, and secure data governance enable platforms to meet regulatory expectations without compromising user experience.
This approach reflects a growing industry consensus:
sustainable Web3 growth depends on harmonizing innovation with global standards, not avoiding them.
A Shared Responsibility for the Industry’s Future
As jurisdictions worldwide move toward unified licensing frameworks and stricter enforcement for Web3 financial activities, platforms that fail to adapt face increasing operational and reputational risk.
KBY Exchange calls on industry participants to treat compliance not as a burden, but as a shared responsibility—one that strengthens market integrity, supports institutional participation, and accelerates mainstream adoption.
In a Web3 era defined by accountability, KBY Exchange stands for a future where trust, transparency, and compliance form the foundation of global digital finance.

Merto Software Solutions Announces Strategic Expansion into API Integrations, Amazon SP-API Automation, and Technology Consulting
United States, 17th Jan 2026 – Merto Software Solutions Ltd, also known as Merto Solutions, today announced a major strategic expansion of its services, strengthening its position as a leading UK software company specialising in custom software development, API integrations, Amazon SP-API integration, technology consulting, and intelligent business process automation for organisations pursuing scalable growth and SME digital transformation.
The expansion reflects rising demand from businesses across retail logistics, eCommerce, finance, healthcare, and professional services seeking to reduce operational costs, eliminate manual data entry, and achieve long-term scalable growth through better system integration and smarter automation.
“Modern businesses are no longer limited by market opportunity, they are limited by disconnected systems and inefficient processes,” said a spokesperson for Merto Software Solutions. “Our mission is to connect those systems, automate the work between them, and provide the strategic guidance that allows companies to grow with confidence.”
Solving the Core Problem of Disconnected Systems
Across nearly every industry Merto supports, leadership teams face the same challenge: fragmented software stacks. CRMs, ERPs, accounting platforms, eCommerce systems, warehouse tools, and legacy platforms operate in isolation, forcing teams into repetitive manual work.
Merto’s expanded API integration services transform these fragmented environments into a single, automated operating system for the business.
Using secure REST API integration, GraphQL integration, SOAP API integration, and bespoke API development, Merto connects platforms including Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, Xero, SAP, QuickBooks, WooCommerce, and custom legacy systems.
Typical client outcomes include:
- 75 per cent reduction in manual work
- 10x faster real-time data synchronisation
- 99.9 per cent uptime reliability
- Significant decreases in processing errors and administrative cost
These system integration services enable companies to move faster, operate more efficiently, and support long-term SME digital transformation.
Leadership in Amazon SP-API Integration and Amazon Automation
As part of its expansion, Merto Solutions is strengthening its position as a specialist provider of Amazon API integration and Amazon SP-API automation, serving Amazon sellers, vendors, freight partners, certifiers, and service providers.
Merto is a member of the Amazon Ads Partner Network and delivers advanced Amazon marketplace integration solutions including:
- Amazon inventory sync
- Amazon order automation
- Amazon reports automation
- Amazon FBA automation
- Shopify Amazon integration and WooCommerce Amazon sync
Clients consistently achieve:
- 90 per cent reduction in time spent on reporting
- 99 per cent fewer order synchronisation errors
- 40x faster fulfilment operations
Through secure permissions, resilient automation pipelines, and enterprise-grade infrastructure, Merto enables Amazon businesses to scale without adding headcount or increasing risk.
Technology Consulting That Prevents Costly Mistakes
Merto’s expanded technology consulting UK practice provides independent,
vendor-neutral technology advice to founders and leadership teams across the UK and internationally.
Services include:
- Architecture review and software architecture planning
- Systems integration roadmap design
- Automation consulting and workflow automation strategy
- Cost and ROI modelling
- Risk assessment and mitigation
- Scalable infrastructure planning
- IT strategy for SMEs
- 90-day delivery planning
Each engagement delivers clear, actionable reports that support confident decision-making and sustainable digital transformation.
Custom Software Development Built Around the Business
Alongside integration and consulting, custom software development UK remains central to Merto’s offering.
Merto builds bespoke software solutions, from MVP development to full enterprise software development, including custom web applications, mobile app development UK, SaaS platforms, and complex internal systems.
Rather than forcing companies to adapt to generic software, Merto creates solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing tools, automate workflows, and scale with the organisation’s growth.
This approach has delivered measurable success for clients including Scan Global Logistics, Hague Global, My Personalised Events, Pulp, Fitly, Stortmill Recycling, Langley Motors, and many others.
Practical AI Automation for Measurable Results
While not positioned as an AI product vendor, Merto integrates AI automation and AI agents for business where they produce clear operational benefits. These include intelligent support routing, automated data entry, reporting assistants, and AI-powered solutions governed by client business rules.
All AI deployments include strict guardrails, audit logs, and secure fallback mechanisms to ensure reliability and compliance.
Positioned for the Next Generation of Digital Operations
With this strategic expansion, Merto Software Solutions positions itself as a long-term integration partner and software consultancy in Windsor, UK, delivering bespoke integrations, eCommerce automation, and end-to-end digital transformation for growth-driven organisations.
“Merto exists to build the invisible infrastructure behind modern businesses,” the spokesperson added. “When systems connect properly and technology decisions are made with clarity, companies reduce costs, eliminate inefficiency, and unlock sustainable growth.”
