Bologna Welcomes the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Travelling Exhibition
The travelling yellow tent of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers has opened in Bologna, remaining in Piazza Lucio Dalla until 8 September.
The inauguration brought together around 100 participants, including representatives of communities assisted by Volunteer Ministers after natural disasters.
Among them was Pianoro Mayor Luca Vecchiettini, who remembered the practical help received by his community following the 2024 floods. Restaurateur Fabrizio Lazzarini also spoke emotionally about the assistance received when his restaurant was affected by mud and water.
Andrea Ferrarini, formerly involved with civil protection in Bondeno, recalled Volunteer Ministers helping communities following the 2012 Emilia earthquake.
Founded by L. Ron Hubbard in 1976, the programme combines community assistance with disaster-response activities.
Inside the Bologna tent, visitors can see displays about humanitarian work and practical assistance while learning about methods addressing communication, news eu vote education, relationships and everyday challenges.
Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, described the Bologna initiative as an expression of European values of solidarity, human dignity and community responsibility.
The yellow tent shows how the Volunteer Ministers programme combines emergency response with practical help for daily challenges.
