Ima from Anstiftung on their ‘fanzine’ for repair cafes, in its first year. Anstiftung support approximatelly 800 repair communities. The magazine document the diversity of community repair groups across the countries. The name ‘SPLITTER’ refer to small partciles that appear when something is broken. The magawine is published on the website and it can be easily printed. Each page of the magawine act on its own and so the group can choose to print one page and not other and produce posters. The document is in black and white so it can easily be printed in coloured paper. The magawine feature quizzes, reflective exercises and comics. The magazine also include stories reflecting upon global issues; the history of repair etc.

Perhaps @Dave you can include a short version of your talk on Hackney Fixers and Barcelona @Andreu you can share your Barcelona talk here too?
Hackney Fixers
- Formed by a few people in Hackney to run Restart Parties
- Has the advantage of a parent organisation (Sustainable Hackney)
so no need of formal organisation, bank account etc.:
just a name so we can concentrate on Fixing, not bureaucracy - Hackney has a varied population: artists, minorities, rich, poor, …
which is useful. - Took a couple of years to build up momentum.
- Council interested but difficult since initially only interested in tonnes of waste saved!
- Once council interested, became easier:
small grants,
access to venues (libraries) - No formal agreement with council; too complicated!
- Problems:
hard to hand over to other people
need to automate event running (now done with Google Sheet)
