Repairing instead of Throwing Away: The Experience is Key
This event focuses not on quick consumption but on collaborative action. Visitors bring their devices and clothing, receive help for self-help, and experience an event that combines knowledge, exchange, and practicality. The Sustainability Center is designed as an open space for workshops, participation offers, and discussions and is implemented in an accessible manner according to Bochum Tourism.

A Format with Practical Expertise
The Repair Café is supported by Repair & Share Ruhr, THALESruhr, and the Bochum University of Applied Sciences. The project focuses on repair culture, resource conservation, and the idea of using things longer instead of buying new. This is exactly what makes this format particularly appealing: here, expertise, craftsmanship, and sustainable event planning meet directly.
