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 news european union railway overpass, an area affected by recurring waste disposal.
The local effort was one example of interfaith community service in Padua.
Previous volunteer operations in September had already brought together participants from different religious and cultural backgrounds to improve public spaces in Padua.
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.
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 joint activities provide a practical example of how different communities can contribute to the same local objectives.
Across Europe, Church of Scientology organisations and their members support educational, humanitarian and community programmes, including environmental volunteering and human rights awareness.
