Repair Café and Flea Market: Life saves in the Voitsberg House of Life

Repair Café and Flea Market: Life saves in the Voitsberg House of Life

In the heart of Voitsberg, a particularly creative event will take place on October 19 in the "House of Life": a Repair Café that is organized in combination with a flea market. This initiative is not only a contribution to sustainability, but also a great opportunity for people of all ages to get their defective things up and running.

from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. - whereby the closure deadline is reservable at 11.15 a.m. - visitors have the opportunity to bring objects to repair. The types of repairs are versatile: in addition to electronic devices, textiles can also be processed and even knives can be sanded. It is expected that users actively participate in the repair, so you should bring enough time to accompany the process.

In order to bridge the waiting time, the organizers invite the guests to relax in the adjacent café and enjoy delicious pastries. At the same time, a flea market takes place in the clothing store of the parish of Voitsberg, where the participants can browse and shop. A visit to the Repair Café becomes a sociable everyday experience.

A special feature of the Voitsberger Repair Café is the international visibility that it has received from the initiative of Werner Valeskini. By registering on the global platform Repanet and the pennant specially made by Elisabeth Pfeifer, the idea "repair instead of throwing away" is spread internationally. This commitment contributes to the connection of the people who work for the common goal of repairing.

The event is not only designed to repair things, but also to set a sign against the throw -away company. A sustainable approach that should address both current and future generations. It is a wonderful opportunity to experience community and to promote a piece of environmental awareness through practical action.
