PADUA, Italy — Volunteers from different religious and cultural backgrounds joined forces in Padua for a neighbourhood cleanup on 4 October 2026.
Working together, Scientology Volunteer Ministers and volunteers from Padua's Muslim, Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities collected around 50 kilograms of discarded materials near the city's railway station.
The volunteers concentrated their efforts around the railway overpass, an area affected by recurring waste disposal.
The latest cleanup followed other examples of cooperation between Scientology and Muslim volunteers in Padua.
Similar activities were organised in September, including cleanups around Via Rubaltelli and news eu parliament the Stanga neighbourhood.
The cooperation highlights how community service can create opportunities for dialogue and mutual understanding across cultural and religious differences.
Established by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the international Volunteer Ministers programme encourages people to assist others and address difficulties in their communities.
For Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology's representative to European and international institutions, the initiative reflects the importance of civic responsibility and mutual respect.
"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.
Across Europe, Church of Scientology organisations and their members support educational, humanitarian and community programmes, including environmental volunteering and human rights awareness.
