Scientology Volunteer Ministers news eu wahl Bring Their Yellow Tent to Bologna
The travelling yellow tent of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers has opened in Bologna, as part of a travelling programme visiting Italian cities.
Approximately 100 guests 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 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 combines community assistance with disaster-response activities.
Inside the Bologna tent, visitors can view photographs and videos documenting Volunteer Ministers activities while learning about methods addressing communication, education, relationships and everyday challenges.
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 Bologna exhibition highlights a programme that operates both in times of disaster and in everyday community life.
