‘Dara’ Presidential Initiatives Foundation: A Step Towards Global Cultural Partnership
On August 20 of this year, the Dara Presidential Initiatives Foundation participated in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, one of the most significant cultural events on a global scale, held in Edinburgh, Scotland. This year, as part of the festival, the Foundation initiated an event titled ‘Fringe Fusion: Kazakhstan & Global Art Partnerships,’ aimed at presenting Kazakhstan’s rich cultural heritage and performing arts to the international audience gathered in Edinburgh. This important step became a key part of the Foundation’s strategy to develop Kazakhstan’s creative industries on the international stage.
Kazakhstan’s creative industries demonstrate significant potential to enrich the global cultural landscape. Kazakhstan is ready to present a wide range of ideas and projects to the global art stage, from innovative design and unique music to historical cinema and contemporary art. At “Fringe Fusion,” Kazakhstan was represented by invited speakers and leading theater groups such as OzgeEpic, A.I. Theatre, and the independent theater ARTiSHOK. The Foundation’s event program consisted of two parts:
- A presentation of Kazakhstan’s cultural heritage and opportunities for creative collaborations among producers and artists from different countries;
- A panel discussion, during which producers from India, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Singapore showed significant interest in Kazakhstan’s creative initiatives. The discussion on cultural exchange and collaboration prospects was moderated by Karen Toftegaard, Director of International Performing Arts Programs from Denmark.
“The Foundation plans to actively develop support tools for the growth of Kazakhstan’s creative economy. Our goal is to create international partnerships that will help draw attention to Kazakh talents and create conditions for their sustainable development,” noted Bibigul Makazhanova, Director of the Communications and Marketing Department of the Foundation.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe also featured programs from Taiwan, Korea, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, and other countries. Previously, Kazakhstan and Central Asia have rarely participated in such events, making the Foundation’s contribution particularly important. According to the Foundation’s President Assel Shildebayeva: “Strengthening international partnerships with leading cultural platforms will significantly increase interest in Kazakhstan’s creative industries. This will contribute to the further development of creative projects and their integration into the global creative space. The results of cooperation with foreign platforms will take time, but this is a necessary and systematic process.”
In the context of globalization, promoting the unique cultural identity of Kazakhstan and Central Asia as a whole becomes a key task. Despite the region’s significant contribution to world culture, it often does not receive the attention it deserves in the global dialogue. The Foundation strives to change this situation by actively working on creating an independent ecosystem that supports the development of Kazakhstan’s creative entrepreneurs. Collaboration with international creators will have a significant impact on strengthening international relations, promoting cultural exchange, and fostering mutual understanding at the international level.

$LEIA token soars 2400% on its first day, showing the market is bullish on casual skill-based gaming in Web3
After raising a record $3M+ in its debut on Gems Launchpad, Leia hits the market today with a remarkable opening. Leia offers a diverse platform for casual gamers entering the crypto space via familiar and accessible mobile games
Limassol, Cyprus — Gems, a community-driven launchpad built around an exclusive investor network, celebrates the success of one of its leading launches: Leia, a Web3 gaming company offering a platform of skill-based mini-games. After securing $3M on Gems Launchpad, Leia meets the market today, itching $0.0195 in its peak on its first day. The initial token price on Gems Launchpad was $0.0001.
Leia Games offers an interactive way to play multiple small but casual games on one platform. Often called the “TikTok of gaming,” Leia features numerous skill-based games that use the same in-game currency. This creates an interoperable ecosystem that draws people in. Leia leverages Gems’s launchpad to expand its “Pikmi” gaming platform, boost its marketing efforts, and conduct alpha testing for its core titles.
Understanding and playing—let alone enjoying—Web3 games, which typically focus on the speculative NFT market and complex play-to-earn mechanics, can be challenging and time-consuming. While a miniscule niche market still exists for these Web3 games, the blockchain-based gaming sector has largely ignored the popularity of the casual mobile gaming sector, which makes up 61 percent of the overall gaming market, reaching a value of more than $130 billion in 2022.
Leia Gems is led by a team of industry veterans from Playtika.com with extensive experience designing successful and engaging mobile titles catered to casual gaming audiences. The team has designed an “Intelligent Matching System” to ensure fair and transparent contests featuring a skill-tracking algorithm that continuously monitors player performances to enforce balanced matches.
Gems Launchpad’s mission is to support projects with the most disruptive potential. Its latest project is NFA Club, a gamified, AI-powered trading app featuring curated insights from key opinion leaders (KOLs). NFA Club’s first private sale funding round on Gems Launchpad began on December 4, and will be raising funds over a series of 12 rounds.
$LEIA will be listed on Gems Trade, the new crypto exchange set to be released soon.

Human Trafficking Under the Spotlight: Scientology’s International Campaign
In its efforts to uphold rights worldwide the Church of Scientology plays a significant role in the fight, against human trafficking by raising awareness through campaigns and educational programs and collaborating internationally. Scientologists are actively involved in preventing exploitation and aiding survivors by advocating for the values outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as well as partnering with organizations that address trafficking from its core. The commitment to this cause was showcased during a town hall event at the Church of Scientology in Seattle where both local and global professionals discussed the importance of education and laws in combating human trafficking while supporting those at risk.
A Multi-Faceted Approach to Combat Trafficking
The recent community event held by the Church of Scientology in Seattle brought attention to the concerning problem of trafficking with a specific emphasis on child sex trafficking, in Washington state. The gathering coincided with UN International Human Rights Day and centred around the theme “Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now.” Notable speakers shared insights. Rallied for immediate action to combat this widespread issue.
Butch Yarnell captivated the audience with a speech during his keynote address as the Eastern Washington & Idaho Regional Coordinator, for Shared Hope International. He shed light on the mission of Shared Hope International to combat sex trafficking through prevention efforts and interventions and highlighted the truth of trafficking in Washington. Yarnell stressed the importance of taking steps and garnering legislative support to disrupt trafficking operations and provide aid to those who have survived such ordeals.
In 2024 in Washington state there have been new laws passed with Senate Bill 6006 making a strong impact on empowering survivors by providing civil protection orders and victim compensation without time limits while also getting rid of the statute of limitations for prosecuting sex trafficking cases. The mention of Seattle as a point in a trafficking network that reaches as wide as Honolulu and Canada highlights the ongoing need for vigilance and support, for this issue as noted by Yarnell.
Youth Education as a Preventative Tool
Dave Scattergood from Youth for Human Rights presented materials designed to educate young individuals about their essential human rights inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). These resources consist of brochures, videos and a complimentary online program accessible on the website of this international organization.
Scattergood emphasized the importance of education in stopping exploitation by saying; “It is vital that our youth are educated on their basic human rights to help prevent them becoming victims of human trafficking crimes”.
European Perspectives
On 24 January 2024, EUROSTAT published the 2022 statistics for trafficking in human beings. The newly released data showed that 10,093 victims of trafficking in human beings were registered in the EU in 2022, representing a 41% increase compared to 2021.
Despite the rising number of registered victims, the number of convicted traffickers remains significantly lower. In 2022, there were 2,097 convicted traffickers in the EU, reflecting a 16.7% decrease compared to 2021. This disparity underscores the challenges in effectively prosecuting and convicting individuals involved in human trafficking.
In Europe’s sphere of influence Ivan Arjona, Scientology representative to the European Union and the UN, has spoken numerous times urging authorities and civil society for a unified strategy to tackle human trafficking throughout the continent. Through different conversations and meetings, Arjona has highlighted the importance of international partnerships and extensive educational initiatives. “Human trafficking represents an unforgivable infringement on fundamental human rights. In Europe it is imperative that we enhance collaboration across borders, safeguard victims of trafficking, prosecute offenders and hold perpetrators accountable with the full force of the law” he emphasizes.
Arjona suggests boosting funding for community outreach efforts in areas at risk and advises governments to take a tough stance on those involved in trafficking activities, while calling for empowering civil society organizations to engage youth in educational programs to fight against human trafficking.
A Global Crisis with Local Impact
The International Labor Organization estimates that 27.6 million individuals are trapped in forced labor worldwide, generating $236 billion annually in illegal profits. In Washington state alone, the National Human Trafficking Hotline identified 202 cases last year, involving 367 victims. These stark figures highlight the urgency of addressing this crisis on both local and global scales.
Scientology founder L. Ronald Hubbard‘s aims for human rights to become a reality and not just an idealistic dream, has been a driving force for the Church of Scientology’s dedication to promoting education and activism around human rights issues. Every church worldwide plays a role in engaging with the community and providing support for initiatives like United for Human Rights and Youth for Human Rights, establishing chapters wherever possible. The original series Voices for Humanity on the Scientology Network documents the remarkable results achieved by the program.
The Seattle forum, like many initiatives by the Church of Scientology worldwide, reinforces the importance of collective action in eradicating human trafficking. From legislative advocacy to education and community engagement, the path forward requires collaboration among governments, NGOs, and civil society. As Ivan Arjona well summarizes, “Only through awareness, action, and accountability can we hope to turn the tide against this modern-day slavery.”
