Sarajevo Hosts First Scientology Volunteer Ministers Exhibition with Free Seminars

Blog Article

Traditional Bosnian music eu news today and practical workshops marked the opening of the first Scientology Volunteer Ministers exhibition in Sarajevo. The programme took place over three days in central Sarajevo 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.

During the exhibition, residents discovered 19 subjects from The Scientology Handbook, including communication, family relationships, study and workplace difficulties. Rather than relying only on written information, volunteers provided practical demonstrations. Sessions on Scientology assists, techniques presented as a form of spiritual support, attracted particular attention. Organisers said 13 participants had begun using techniques introduced during the sessions at home.

The Sarajevo visit followed five weeks of activities in Mostar after the tour entered Bosnia and Herzegovina on 6 June 2026. For the Volunteer Ministers, this was not their first experience assisting communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Following the severe floods of 2014, Scientology volunteers helped residents clear damaged properties and recover agricultural facilities, including work at a flooded farm in Kopanica.

Established in the mid-1970s by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the Volunteer Ministers programme supports educational activities and assistance during disasters. It forms part of the Church of Scientology's ongoing social and volunteer programmes.

Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology representative to the European Union and other international organisations, 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. The organisers reported additional interest in holding a similar session for more residents. The tour concluded its visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina on 8 October 2026.
