The programme also included a presentation by Silvia Fani on the local and international work of Scientology Volunteer Ministers.
Created in the 1970s by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the Volunteer Ministers programme is centred on providing practical help in everyday difficulties and times of crisis. Its motto is “Something Can Be Done About It.”
Participants concluded part of the programme with a practical workshop demonstrating methods associated with Volunteer Minister training.
The gathering underlined the role that volunteers, civic organisations and religious communities can each play in supporting people facing difficult circumstances.
