About the event
The past few years has thrown many challenges to us as individuals, as communities and society in general. More than ever, we have had to rely upon a range of electric and electronic devices to work from home, connect with our loved ones, to stay informed and entertained. If they break, we need reliable repairers to help us, so we can stay connected.
The international repair cafe movement has taken off in Australia, with now over 70 repair cafes offering repair services by teams of committed volunteers. While these repair cafes and repair activities highlight the important role that repair can play in our ensuring our society's recovery is environmentally sustainable, a number of challenges are faced by those who convene and volunteer at these repair cafes. Recognising the extra-ordinary efforts currently being undertaken by a wide range of stakeholders in the repair community, this workshop builds on the earlier Building Back Better: Reuse Repair Recycle workshop that was hosted by the Law Futures Centre in October 2020. The aim of this workshop is to bring together repair stakeholders who are working in the repair cafe movement. It will provide the opportunity for stakeholders to network, exchange their ideas and experiences of setting up repair cafes or volunteering at repair cafes or repair events.
This hybrid event will allow participants to join either in person at the Ship Inn, Brisbane or online.
