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, where the exhibition will remain through 8 September.

The inauguration brought together around 100 participants, including local officials and community representatives.

Among them was Pianoro Mayor Luca Vecchiettini, who remembered the practical help received by his community following the 2024 floods. Restaurateur Fabrizio Lazzarini also recalled the Volunteer Ministers helping his business recover after the flooding.

Andrea Ferrarini, formerly involved with civil protection in Bondeno, spoke about volunteer support given to communities affected by the 2012 earthquake.

Created in 1976 by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, 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 practical approaches to interpersonal difficulties and daily problems.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, described the Bologna initiative Bologna 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.
