Repair Café Velden celebrates 5 years of sustainability and community!

The Repair Café Velden has been the first point of contact for all those who want to fix defective household appliances or small repairs itself five years ago. Dedicated helpers are available on several Saturdays a year to repair things together with the visitors instead of simply disposing of them. This is done under the direction of Klaus Zerche municipal council and has made an important contribution to sustainability for many citizens. At the celebrations for the anniversary in the Velden Kunstbahnhof, numerous well -wishers came, including Mayor Ferdinand Vouk and the head of the community Margit Heissenberger, who praised the initiative in the highest tones.

Repair instead of throwing away

Repair cafés are now known worldwide and offer open meeting points where people can have their broken objects repaired. Voluntary helpers with a lot of expertise are at the side of everyone who needs help and offer the necessary tools and materials. This movement was inspired by the Right to Repair initiative, which creates more awareness of repairability and encourages more and more people to repair broken things themselves instead of throwing them away. Well -known platforms like iFixit Inform about the locations of these cafes and offer a comprehensive map on which Repair Cafés are recorded in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The rapidly growing interest in repair cafes shows that more and more people want to deal with resources more and more consciously. This is not only a sign of a more sustainable future, but also for a more and more committed community that supports each other. The Repair Café Velden is a shining example of this endeavor and attracts more and more people who want to actively participate in the improvement and maintenance of their owners.
