Padua, Italy — Volunteers from different religious and cultural backgrounds joined forces in Padua for a neighbourhood cleanup on 4 October 2026.
Scientology Volunteer Ministers worked alongside members of local Muslim, Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities to remove approximately 50 kilograms of waste from the Borgomagno neighbourhood.
The volunteers concentrated their efforts around the railway overpass, an area affected by recurring waste disposal.
The local effort was one example of interfaith community service in Padua.
Similar activities were organised in September, including cleanups around Via Rubaltelli and the Stanga neighbourhood.
The cooperation highlights how community service can create opportunities for dialogue and mutual understanding across cultural and religious differences.
The Volunteer Ministers programme originated with Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and has developed into an international initiative supporting eu newsletter practical help and community improvement.
Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, emphasised the connection between cooperation and respect for diversity.
"Respect for different beliefs becomes especially meaningful when it is accompanied by cooperation," Arjona said.
The Padua initiative reflects the broader value of cooperation among citizens regardless of religion or cultural origin.
The Church of Scientology and its affiliated groups are present across the European continent, where volunteers participate in social initiatives concerning education, prevention and community improvement.
