Scientology and Muslim Volunteers Join Forces for Cleaner Streets in Padua

Padua, Italy — Environmental responsibility and intercultural cooperation came together during a volunteer initiative in Padua on 4 October 2026.
Scientology Volunteer Ministers worked alongside members of local Muslim, Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities to remove approximately 50 kilograms of waste from the Borgomagno neighbourhood.
The volunteers concentrated their efforts around the railway overpass, an area affected by recurring waste disposal.
The project reflected a continuing pattern of joint neighbourhood cleanups involving different communities 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.
The Church of Scientology maintains churches, missions and groups Scientology throughout Europe, with members participating in initiatives involving education, drug prevention, human rights and community betterment.
