Volunteers of Repair Cafés worldwide are welcome to attend the fifth international Repair Café webinar on Friday, 25 April. During this webinar, they will get information on issues important to all Repair Cafés. They can also exchange experiences.
The two hour webinar is in English, from 4 to 6 PM CEST (3 to 5 PM BST). It is organised by Repair Café International in Amsterdam and the Centre for Sustainable Design in Farnham, UK.
Clothing repair central topic in first hour, research in second hour
The first hour will focus on clothing repair. Why is that necessary and what is already happening in this field in Repair Cafés?
The second hour is about research. The Centre for Sustainable Design has been researching Repair Cafés for years: how are they doing, how are they organised and how can they increase their impact? Students from Leiden University will talk about their research to involve expats in Repair Cafés. Students from Hanze University Groningen will present their graduation project: they are developing a Repair Café game for their studies Creative Media and Game Technologies.
Martine Postma of Repair Café International and Martin Charter of the Centre for Sustainable Design will give opening speeches.
