Beauty With Purpose Takes Centre Stage at Dublin Multicultural Event

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

Twenty-four women from seven countries participated in the programme, which was attended by approximately 450 guests at the Church of Scientology & Community Centre.

Organised by Miss & Mrs Cross Continent Events Ltd. and sponsored by Broccoli Care Ltd., the programme was developed in collaboration with The Truth About Drugs Ireland.

Drug education formed an important part of the event, news eu with guided exhibition tours introducing visitors to information about commonly used drugs. Some participants completed all fourteen educational modules, demonstrating that their preparation went beyond the traditional pageant format.

In his address, Mayor Francis Timmons noted that education and positive leadership can help create healthier and more united communities.

Cultural performances added to the programme, including Irish dance, Indian classical dance and traditional Indonesian presentations.

At the end of the competition, Niveditha Vudayagiri was named Miss Cross Continent 2026. The other leading awards went to Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina and Yuki Yuliatin.

The event demonstrated how multicultural celebrations can also provide a platform for education, responsibility and positive community engagement.
