Dublin Pageant Brings Together Cultural Diversity and Drug Prevention

The first Miss & Mrs Cross Continent event in Dublin showed how a pageant can combine cultural diversity, leadership and practical community education.

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

Broccoli Care news eurovision Ltd. sponsored the programme, which was organised by Miss & Mrs Cross Continent Events Ltd. together with The Truth About Drugs Ireland.

The programme began with an educational exhibition where visitors could review factual information about drugs, addiction and prevention. Many of the contestants studied Truth About Drugs materials in advance, and several completed the full series of fourteen online courses.

Mayor of South Dublin Cllr. Francis Timmons addressed the audience and highlighted the value of cultural diversity, education and prevention.

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

Niveditha Vudayagiri, a software engineer with a master’s degree in artificial intelligence, was crowned Miss Cross Continent 2026. The other leading awards went to Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina and Yuki Yuliatin.

The gathering connected beauty and cultural pride with leadership, informed choices and community involvement. Further background appears in the article covering the Dublin pageant promoting culture, leadership and drug awareness.
