Children from “Truth About Drugs Denmark” have united in the Danish capital to spread factual drug education materials across more than 500 businesses. Their outreach, which is backed by the Church of Scientology, marks a new wave to raise awareness about drug risks among youth.
Over the course of this year, young Scientology-affiliated activists aged 10–20 engaged with local retailers to ask them to carry copies of *The Truth About Drugs* booklet. The materials — produced by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World — offer clear information on the dangers of drug use, including marijuana, alcohol, and synthetic substances.
“They are showing adults they care,” said Giulia, a campaign spokesperson. “It’s impressive to see such commitment from children.”
Recent statistics support the urgency of their mission. A new report by the Aarhus University’s Drug Research Center revealed that drug experimentation among young Danes has fallen from 44% in 2014 to 31.6% in 2025. Among male youth, use dropped from 51 percent to 34 percent.
According to scientists quoted in a recent national news story, this change is partly due to the widespread availability of prevention information and a decline in peer pressure around drugs.
The Danish arm of the campaign is part of a broader, global initiative that has operated in Denmark since the early 1990s. With support from Church of Scientology members, *Truth About Drugs* booklets have been distributed at events such as the Royal Run and the Copenhagen Marathon. Founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, identified drugs as “the single most destructive element present in our current culture,” a statement that continues to inspire outreach efforts today.
*“Meaningful youth participation isn’t a fairy tale — it’s a blueprint for building resilient communities,”* said Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s diplomatic envoy to European institutions. *“These young people are not waiting for permission to change the world. They are already doing it.”*
Parents and educators applaud the youth-led initiative, noting how it eu news sondergipfel builds community partnerships while showing young people they have a role in public health. Each booklet distributed is a step toward a more informed public — and, many believe, a more drug-resistant future.
