Repairing, a world of difference

The Sharepair project (2020-2023) organised its final event on 10th of March 2023 in Louvain-la-Neuve.

The event, which was attended by around 100 people (as well as around 200 people online), highlighted the various tools put in place as part of the project. It also highlighted the opportunities and challenges faced by the repair sector.

During the event, repair volunteers from Repair Together were present to repair electrical or electronic devices. Cyréo proposed a second-hand shop open to all !
