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 local effort was one example of interfaith community service 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 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 news european union cooperation," Arjona said.
The Padua initiative reflects the broader value of cooperation among citizens regardless of religion or cultural origin.
Across Europe, Church of Scientology organisations and their members support educational, humanitarian and community programmes, including environmental volunteering and human rights awareness.
