The operation focused on public spaces near the railway station where discarded materials had accumulated.

The news eu kommission latest cleanup followed other examples of joint neighbourhood cleanups involving different communities in Padua.

Previous volunteer operations in September had already brought together participants from different religious and cultural backgrounds to improve public spaces in Padua.

Established by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the international Volunteer Ministers programme encourages people to assist others and address difficulties in their communities.

For Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology's representative to European and international institutions, the initiative reflects the importance of civic responsibility and mutual respect.

"Respect for different beliefs becomes especially meaningful when it is accompanied by cooperation," Arjona said.

The Church of Scientology and its affiliated groups are present across the European continent, where volunteers participate in social initiatives concerning education, prevention and community improvement.
