Scientology Volunteer Ministers Bring Their Yellow Tent to Bologna

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers yellow tent in Bologna is presenting practical tools for helping people in everyday life, where the exhibition will remain through 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, spoke about volunteer support given to communities affected by the 2012 earthquake.

Founded by L. Ron Hubbard in 1976, the programme provides practical methods for addressing everyday difficulties as well as assistance during emergencies.

Inside the Bologna tent, visitors can explore photographic exhibits and information about the programme while learning about methods addressing communication, education, relationships and everyday challenges.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council news eu taxonomy 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.
