Welcome!
Thank you for joining our community space.
Note on times: Event is 20:00 CET/ 19:00 UK/ 11:00 PDT
In this special event, we will have a short introduction to critical raw materials - what they are, what kinds of products and components you find them in, and why repair is essential. We use materials developed by the Restart Project (within the REFER project) - these materials can also be used as part of other repair cafe and educational events. After the introduction, we will have a repair cafe session during which participants give a short introduction to the item they have brought to repair and we then divide into breakout rooms to try to repair the items. In the main room we will continue a discussion about materials, education, and repair for anyone interested.
