Repair Café Utrecht

There are eleven independent Repair Cafés in different neighborhoods in Utrecht. Repair Café Oost (East Utrecht) was the first Repair Café in Utrecht, and they observe the collective website.

At Repair Cafés (electrical) household devices and other electronics are repaired, as well as utensils, furniture, textile, bikes, toys, and knifes and scissors can be sharpened: everything that can you can get to the Repair Café can get (or at least get attempted be) fixed. Another goal is to get people in touch with the act of repairing again, and share knowledge and skills to do so. And at last raise the issue of non-repairability in politics and with manufacturers
