Repair Cafés
Repair Cafés are community events where people can bring broken items to be fixed for free. Volunteers, often skilled in various trades, help participants learn how to repair their belongings, which can include electronics, clothing, furniture, and more. The goal is to promote sustainability by reducing waste and encouraging a culture of repair.
These gatherings also foster social connections, as people share skills and knowledge while working together. Repair Cafés often provide tools and materials, making it easier for individuals to tackle repairs. They are part of a larger movement towards sustainability and responsible consumption, similar to initiatives like upcycling and zero waste.
