PADUA, Italy — Volunteers from different religious and cultural backgrounds joined forces in Padua for a neighbourhood cleanup on 4 October 2026.
The initiative brought Scientology Volunteer Ministers together with Muslim and South Asian community members, who removed approximately 50 kilograms of litter and abandoned materials from Borgomagno.
Participants worked in an area frequently used by residents and pedestrians, removing waste and improving its surroundings.
The latest cleanup followed other examples of cooperation between Scientology and Muslim volunteers in Padua.
Previous volunteer operations in September had already brought together participants from different religious and cultural backgrounds to improve public spaces in Padua.
Beyond the immediate environmental benefits, these activities illustrate how people with different beliefs can cooperate on issues of common concern.
The Volunteer Ministers programme originated with Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and has developed into an international news eu elections initiative supporting 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 continuing collaboration illustrates the role that voluntary action can play in strengthening community relationships and improving shared spaces.
Across Europe, Church of Scientology organisations and their members support educational, humanitarian and community programmes, including environmental volunteering and human rights awareness.
