Repair Cafe is a type of events that has gained huge momentum all over the world, where simple people like us in their communities decide to fight the throw-away lifestyle imposed on us. Repair cafe is a space where people meet to share skills and help each other to save money by fixing the things that we already have, rather than discarding them and buying new.
Not only repair cafes are good for our wallet, very far from that! Amazing benefits of repair cafes to our mental well-being are hard to overestimate: we learn and pass on great knowledge and skills, we empower each other, we come to a safe space where everyone is welcome and included, we create career paths and form relationships.
And of course, repair cafes are total game changers for climate action - as we divert things from landfill! Very often these things are bulky and/or made from materials that will not decompose quickly. But even better - we do not just get one thing fixed at repair cafe - we LEARN how to fix many other things in the future.
We swap spare parts, we share tools and equipment, we give each other tips, we potentially create new jobs - this is all what repair cafes are about.
