Blog Article
Traditional Bosnian music 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. After worsening weather moved the ceremony indoors, musicians in traditional Bosnian clothing entertained guests. The music included sevdalinka, a form of traditional urban singing added to UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list in 2024.
Inside the tent, visitors explored 19 eu newsletter subjects from The Scientology Handbook, covering communication, parenting, learning and challenges in everyday life. Visitors could complement the exhibition panels with guided exercises and short instructional films. 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 participated in cleanup and recovery activities in affected communities, including work at a flooded farm in Kopanica.
Created by Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard in the 1970s, the Volunteer Ministers programme combines practical education with humanitarian assistance. It forms part of the Church of Scientology's international community service activities.
Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology's representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, linked the initiative to human dignity, mutual respect and civic responsibility. "Sarajevo's history and cultural traditions remind us that helping others begins with respect for the people and communities around us," he said.
After the public exhibition, a local cultural group hosted an additional Volunteer Ministers workshop. The organisers reported additional interest in holding a similar session for more residents. The tour completed its Bosnian activities on 8 October 2026.
