Bologna Hosts Scientology Volunteer Ministers Exhibition

Bologna Welcomes the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Travelling Exhibition

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers yellow tent in Bologna is presenting practical tools for helping people in everyday life, Scientology 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 recalled the assistance provided 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.

Founded by L. Ron Hubbard in 1976, the programme offers practical tools for communication, relationships and problem-solving alongside humanitarian response.

Inside the Bologna tent, visitors can view photographs and videos documenting Volunteer Ministers activities 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 expression of European values of solidarity, human dignity and community responsibility.

The Bologna exhibition highlights a programme that operates both in times of disaster and in everyday community life.
