Interfaith Cooperation Brings Environmental Action to Padua

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 news european commission waste from the Borgomagno neighbourhood.
Participants worked in an area frequently used by residents and pedestrians, removing waste and improving its surroundings.
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 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 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.
