International Repair Day

International Repair Day

In an increasingly wasteful society, it is important to be able to repair things instead of replacing them. Start small and see what broken pieces you can salvage.

The International Repair Day is a global initiative aimed at promoting the value of repairing things. It involves community repair events and social media campaigns to highlight the benefits of showing more love and care for our belongings. The day was first established in 2017 and has since grown to include Repair Cafes, Restart Parties, and movements like the Right to Repair. People celebrate the day by attending local repair events, sharing their repair stories on social media, and teaching others how to repair electronics and household items. In the Czech Republic, the project "Naučíme vás to opravit" (We Will Teach You to Repair) aims to increase the number of appliance repairers by involving schools and vocational training institutions. The project has seen an increase in student participation and aims to address the long-term shortage of repair technicians.
