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 latest cleanup followed other examples of cooperation between Scientology and Muslim volunteers in Padua.

The October initiative followed earlier environmental projects in September involving volunteers from different communities.

The cooperation highlights how community service can create opportunities for dialogue and mutual understanding across cultural and religious differences.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme, established by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard in the 1970s, supports practical assistance and community service.

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 news eu law especially meaningful when it is accompanied by cooperation," Arjona said.

The continuing collaboration illustrates the role that voluntary action can play in strengthening community relationships and improving shared spaces.

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.
