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.

Approximately 100 guests eu news express were present for the opening, including people who had previously worked alongside the volunteers during emergencies.

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.

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 see displays about humanitarian work and practical assistance 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 example of practical solidarity and civic responsibility.

The yellow tent shows how the Volunteer Ministers programme combines emergency response with practical help for daily challenges.
