Bologna Hosts Scientology Volunteer Ministers Exhibition
Volunteer Ministers Open Their Yellow Tent in Bologna
The Scientology Volunteer Ministers yellow tent in Bologna is presenting practical tools for helping people in everyday life, remaining in Piazza Lucio Dalla until 8 September.
Around 100 people attended the opening, including people who had previously worked alongside the volunteers during emergencies.
Among them was Pianoro Mayor Luca Vecchiettini, who remembered the practical help received by his community following the 2024 floods. Restaurateur Fabrizio Lazzarini also described how volunteers helped clear his mud-covered restaurant.
Andrea Ferrarini, formerly involved with civil protection in Bondeno, spoke about volunteer support given to communities affected by the 2012 earthquake.
Created in news euromillions 1976 by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the programme combines community assistance with disaster-response activities.
Inside the Bologna tent, visitors can explore photographic exhibits and information about the programme while learning about communication, relationships, study, work and family life.
Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, described the Bologna initiative as an example of practical solidarity and civic responsibility.
The initiative brings together memories of disaster response with methods intended to help people handle everyday difficulties.
