Learn more about us
Repair Together is an environmental, social and solidarity association, helping and supporting local initiatives that are mobilized for the sustainable use of resources. Its objective is to pool the resources necessary for the creation, development and maintenance of "Repair Cafés" in Belgium, Brussels and Wallonia.
Expanding the network: Repair Together supports the creation of new Repair Cafés. It also ensures the maintenance of the network and the feeling of belonging to a "Repair" community.
The non-profit organisation is mandated by the official organisation Repair Café Foundation and operates according to a horizontal and non-hierarchical principle: each Repair Café remains autonomous.
Training and awareness-raising: Repair Together organises repair trainings aimed at expanding knowledge across the network and increasing the expertise of volunteer repairers.
The non-profit organisation also offers activities around repair and the circular economy. These activities are aimed at both schools and the general public. They can take place as part of events or on demand.
Militate: Repair Together is part of a broader movement to transition to a more circular economy and to fight against planned obsolescence.
They are mobilizing their strengths and resources, in collaboration with other actors in the sector, in a movement advocating for a globally recognized "right to repair".
In 2016, they surpassed the symbolic mark of 100 Repair Cafés supported in the Walloon and Brussels-Capital regions. There are more than 250 of them spread over the whole of Belgium today and more than 1200 worldwide (a figure that is constantly evolving) ♻️ 🚀
