Repair instead of frustration: What visitors can expect
Defective electronic devices and broken clothing get a second chance here. It's not just about watching but about participating, learning, and trying things out together. This fits the concept of the Sustainability Center, which is described as an open space for co-design, workshops, and repair formats.

Why this date is worth it
Repair cafés have long been a visible format of a growing repair and sharing culture in Bochum. The project around Repair & Share Ruhr connects initiatives that promote sharing and repairing over new purchases. This adds to the appeal of this afternoon: practical, approachable, and with real added value for the environment and everyday life.
