About event
🧵 Repair Day Workshop
Join us for a hands-on workshop that blends creative devices and reflection exercises to question what repair really means — and then get into action! We’re celebrating International Repair Day together with a space for learning, making, and sharing.
🌍 Why now?
This year, the Open Repair Alliance is raising awareness about software obsolescence, calling out Microsoft for ending support for Windows 10 — a decision that will send millions of computers to waste. Want to take part? You can sign the open letter
🙂Who are we?
At SPARE, we love creating activities that spark inspiration and make a positive difference. Whether you’re curious about sustainability, eager to bring more social responsibility into your work, or simply looking for fresh ways to innovate, we’ve got you covered. This time, we’re calling on you to join the repair revolution—come to our event and be part of the Open Repair Alliance!
🧰 What to bring:
- An open mind to reflect about repair.
- A garment from your wardrobe ready to be repaired — something simple like sewing on a button, mending a hole, or covering a stain.
- We’ll provide thread, needles, and tools, but feel free to bring your own kit.
- Extra clothes you’re not wearing anymore:
- donate them to the LOLA Lieven wardrobe, or
- swap them with other participants.
💜 Practical details:
- This is a Free event. Donations are welcome directly to our host LOLA Lieven and will be used to promote other events with social spirit at their location.
- We’ll have snacks available, and drinks can be purchased at LOLA Lieven.
- Stay after the workshop and enjoy a concert with us! 🎶
Come repair, reflect, and connect — every stitch creates a ripple 🌊.
