On 17 February 2004 the first in a series of booklets aimed at making the Scientology religion and its solution to societal problems better known and understood, "Scientology Effective Solutions - Providing the Tools for Successful Living," was released and mailed in eight languages to 60,000 government, religious and educational leaders across Europe.
The European-wide information campaign was launched in Brussels with an event attended by prominent scholars, religious leaders, representatives of humanitarian organizations and officials of European institutions and diplomatic corps.
"The Scientology religion is a strong force in Europe today, and it is our duty to make known our solutions to threats of war and terrorism, job insecurity and unemployment, failing education and drug abuse," said Fabio Amicarelli, director of the European Human Rights Office of the Church of Scientology International, located at 91 rue de la Loi in the European quarter.
Members of the European Institutions in Brussels were presented with the booklet entitled "Providing the tools for successful living," which introduces the effective community work of the millions of Scientologists in Europe and worldwide and answers commonly asked questions about the Scientology religion and its activities.

The campaign is built around the release of a series of 12 publications, each providing information about the religious practices of Scientology and also the solutions that Scientologists offer to resolve society's most troubling situations.
"Providing the tools for successful living", introduces the community works of the millions of Scientologists in Europe and worldwide and answers commonly asked questions about the Scientology religion and its activities.
"We have solutions to our societal crises" said Amicarelli, and want to make the information available to others who can do something about it."

"Effective solutions do exist and part of our information campaign is to make them well-known," said Amicarelli.
The campaign will provide documented information about the effectiveness of Scientology's wide-reaching social betterment projects. The social ills they address range from escalating drug abuse to declining moral values, escalating raising crime rates to failing educational programs. Their solutions are based on the discoveries of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Scientology religion.
Five decades after the Church of Scientology was founded in 1954, Scientology has grown from one church to 3,700 churches, missions and groups in 154 countries, serving millions of parishioners in 54 languages worldwide.
