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 the Church of Scientology & Community Centre in Dublin, the gathering featured 24 contestants from seven different nations and an audience of about 450 people. Broccoli Care Ltd. sponsored the programme, which was organised by Miss & Mrs Cross Continent Events Ltd. together with The Truth About Scientology Drugs Ireland. The programme began with an educational exhibition where visitors could review factual information about drugs, addiction and prevention. Contestants were encouraged to prepare by studying drug-prevention materials, and a number of them completed every available online course. The Mayor of South Dublin praised the contestants for using their public platform to promote informed choices and stronger communities. Guests enjoyed performances representing Irish, Indian and Indonesian traditions throughout the afternoon. Niveditha Vudayagiri, a software engineer with a master’s degree in artificial intelligence, was crowned Miss Cross Continent 2026. The first runner-up title went to Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina, followed by Yuki Yuliatin as second runner-up. The event demonstrated how multicultural celebrations can also provide a platform for education, responsibility and positive community engagement.
