A short report is available via this Scientology Europe report.

Organisers say, the Vienna activities focus on early prevention, eu news 24/7 with visibility at major public events, including the Donauinselfest, while also supporting teachers seeking prevention tools for schools. Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the European institutions and the United Nations, noted: “Reliable, early information helps young people make free and responsible choices—strengthening public health and civic responsibility.”
