Community Repair Café: Repair, Reuse, and Reduce Environmental Impact

2024-01-07 17:00:00

The Fil Vert association has proposed, in collaboration with the MJC de Dieuze, a new Repair café relocated for the occasion to the community hall in Liocourt. Born in Amsterdam in 2009, Repair Cafés are collaborative repair workshops where volunteers, all DIY enthusiasts, share knowledge and know-how with people bringing their broken objects (small household appliances, computers, Hifi, clothing, etc.). …) in order to repair them together.

Various objects that were brought during this evening have been repaired. The Repair café serves to change behavior by replacing the reflex of repairing with that of throwing away, preserving the environment and the climate, learning to repair, (re)discovering the virtues of doing things together, creating social bonds, strengthening intergenerational relationships locally.

Common values

Today, there are countless Repair Cafés around the world. A true international network, it brings together men and women who, beyond their cultural and social differences, come together around common values, those of repair and doing things together around a cake and a coffee! Because it is above all a friendly moment to share. For this new edition, Jean-Luc, one of the volunteers, offered a Bee Wrap demonstration to the participants. This technique makes it possible to replace the cellophane used to preserve food by using fabric coated with beeswax and which is then heated using an iron. It is an ecological mode of action which is on the rise because it allows the use of fabric scraps and limits the use and impact of plastic. Beeswax can easily be found from a local beekeeper or others.
