Padua, Italy — A community cleanup in the Italian city of Padua brought together people from different faiths and national backgrounds 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 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 news eu parlament differences.
The Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme, established by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard in the 1970s, supports practical assistance and community service.
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 Padua initiative reflects the broader value of cooperation among citizens regardless of religion or cultural origin.
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.
