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.

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 railway overpass, an area affected by recurring waste disposal.

The project reflected a continuing pattern of cooperation between Scientology and Muslim volunteers in Padua.

Similar activities were organised in September, including cleanups around Via Rubaltelli and the Stanga neighbourhood.

Such practical initiatives demonstrate that shared civic responsibilities can bring communities together without requiring them to share the same religious convictions.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme, established by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard in the 1970s, supports practical assistance and community service.

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.

The Church of Scientology and its affiliated groups are present across the European Volunteer Ministers continent, where volunteers participate in social initiatives concerning education, prevention and community improvement.
