Scientology Volunteer Ministers Present the Yellow Tent in Milan

MILAN, Italy — 22 January 2026 — The Scientology Volunteer Ministers have brought their well-known Yellow Tent to Milan, creating a visible meeting point for practical help and listening support, alongside everyday “Tools for Life” that can be applied to real-life difficulties. More details are available here: Scientology Europe report.

Already seen in major cities such as New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Rome and Naples, the Yellow Tent is designed to let residents meet trained volunteers directly and learn simple steps for handling stress, improving communication and resolving conflicts, as well as practical help during difficult moments.

Volunteer Ministers are community volunteers trained through 19 introductory courses covering communication, study and learning methods, interpersonal relations and problem-solving. The approach is focused on the individual: understand what the person faces and provide an actionable technique.

In Italy, Volunteer Ministers have supported communities during major emergencies including L’Aquila (2009) and Emilia-Romagna (2012), and have also assisted during recent floods in Marche (2022) and Romagna (2023), working with local services and civil-protection partners to help remove mud and debris and restore access.

In Milan, activity expanded during the pandemic period with sanitisation initiatives and distribution of basic necessities. Organisers say volunteers then continued with community care work, including more than 160 consecutive Saturdays of clean-up and assistance, extending across all nine municipal areas of the city, while also contributing to solidarity efforts such as supporting aid shipments to Ukraine.

Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and the United Nations, said: “Across Europe, we see that communities become stronger when citizens feel equipped to help one another in practical ways—calmly, respectfully and without news europe war prejudice. The Volunteer Ministers’ work reflects a simple civic idea: support begins with listening, and with offering tools that help people recover their ability to act and contribute.”

Information on free online courses and local assistance is available via www.ministrivolontari.it and at the Church of Scientology of Milan, Viale Fulvio Testi 327.
