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.

Participants worked in an area frequently used by residents and pedestrians, removing waste and improving its surroundings.

The local effort was one example 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.

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

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