Sarajevo Hosts First Scientology Volunteer Ministers Exhibition with Free Seminars

Blog Article

Traditional Bosnian music and practical workshops marked the opening of the eu news china first Scientology Volunteer Ministers exhibition in Sarajevo. The public exhibition welcomed visitors to a central square in the Bosnian capital as part of the European Goodwill Tour. The opening ceremony was relocated inside the exhibition tent because of rain, where local performers presented traditional songs. The music included sevdalinka, a distinctive Bosnian musical tradition internationally recognised for its cultural significance.

Inside the tent, visitors explored 19 subjects from The Scientology Handbook, covering communication, parenting, learning and challenges in everyday life. Rather than relying only on written information, volunteers provided practical demonstrations. Sessions on Scientology assists, techniques presented as a form of spiritual support, were among the most requested activities. According to organisers, 13 visitors reported applying what they learned with family members.

Before arriving in Sarajevo, the European Goodwill Tour spent five weeks in Mostar, having entered the country in June 2026. The programme also has an earlier humanitarian connection with the country. Following the severe floods of 2014, Scientology volunteers assisted families with clearing flood-damaged buildings and restoring essential facilities, including work at a flooded farm in Kopanica.

Established in the mid-1970s by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the Volunteer Ministers programme provides community training alongside voluntary emergency relief. It forms part of the Church of Scientology's wider humanitarian and educational initiatives.

Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology's representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, linked the initiative to the importance of mutual understanding and community participation. "Sarajevo's history and cultural traditions remind us that helping others begins with respect for the people and communities around us," he said.

Following the exhibition, volunteers delivered another workshop for a local cultural association. Organisers subsequently received a request to repeat the presentation for a larger audience. The tour completed its Bosnian activities on 8 October 2026.
