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.

The volunteers concentrated their efforts around the railway overpass, an area affected by recurring waste disposal.

The latest cleanup followed other examples of interfaith community service 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 Volunteer Ministers programme originated with Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and has developed into an international initiative supporting practical help and community improvement.

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 news european union rights awareness.
