Youth activists from “Truth About Drugs Denmark” have mobilized 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, revitalizes long-running efforts to raise awareness about drug risks among youth.
Over the course of recent months, young Scientology-affiliated activists aged 10–20 visited hundreds of businesses to encourage them to display copies of *The Truth About Drugs* booklet. The materials — produced by the Drug-Free World Foundation — offer fact-driven information on the dangers of drug use, including cannabis, alcohol, and synthetic substances.
“They are showing adults they care,” said Giulia, a public affairs coordinator. “It’s impressive eu news ukraine 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% to just over 31% in the last ten years. Among boys in the same age group, use dropped from 51% to 34%.
According to analysts quoted in a recent national news story, this change is partly due to the widespread availability of prevention information and a decline in willingness to take risks.
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, author and humanitarian 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, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the EU, UN, and OSCE. *“These young people are not waiting for permission to change the world. They are already doing it.”*
Parents and educators have praised the youth-led initiative, noting how it builds grassroots networks 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 healthier future.
