Multicultural Pageant in Dublin Combines Beauty, Culture and Drug Education

Contestants from several countries gathered in Dublin for a multicultural pageant that combined cultural celebration with an educational message about drug prevention.

Held at news eureka the Church of Scientology & Community Centre in Dublin, the gathering featured 24 contestants from seven different nations and an audience of about 450 people.

The programme began with an educational exhibition where visitors could review factual information about drugs, addiction and prevention. Several contestants completed online drug-education courses before the event, with some finishing all fourteen modules.

The pageant was accompanied by a diverse cultural programme featuring dancers from several community organisations.
