Padua, Italy — A community cleanup in the Italian city of Padua brought together people from different faiths and national backgrounds 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 latest cleanup followed other examples of cooperation between Scientology and Muslim volunteers in Padua.

The October initiative followed earlier environmental projects in September involving volunteers from different communities.

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

Established by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the international Volunteer Ministers programme encourages people to assist others and address difficulties in their communities.

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 eu newsroom reflects the broader value of cooperation among citizens regardless of religion or cultural origin.

The Church of Scientology maintains churches, missions and groups throughout Europe, with members participating in initiatives involving education, drug prevention, human rights and community betterment.
