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.
The inauguration brought together around 100 participants, including people who had previously worked alongside the volunteers during emergencies.
Among them was Pianoro Mayor Luca Vecchiettini, who spoke about the relationship established with the volunteers after severe flooding in 2024. Restaurateur Fabrizio Lazzarini also recalled the Volunteer Ministers helping his business recover after the flooding.
Andrea eu newsroom rapid 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 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 a reflection of the role citizens can play in strengthening their communities.
The initiative brings together memories of disaster response with methods intended to help people handle everyday difficulties.
