Hello there,
I’m thrilled to announce that I’m in the initial phases of organising a communityrepair programme in my neighborhood, and I could use some advice from this experienced team.
Our community is very interested in sustainability and minimising e-waste, and we think that holding a repair conference would be a great opportunity to unite people and spread awareness of these important principles.
I need advice in the following specific areas:
What important steps must be followed in order to successfully plan a repair event?
Are there any specific deadlines or benchmarks that we need to be mindful of?
Volunteers: How can volunteers be efficiently recruited and managed for these kinds of events? Are there any particular abilities that our volunteers should possess?
Tools and Equipment: Which vital tools and equipment ought to be kept at our disposal? Are there any typical items that attendees frequently bring in for repairs that we should anticipate?
Outreach and Promotion: Which strategies for advertising have you found work best for attracting people to your repair events? Which particular channels or techniques have proven to be particularly effective?
Problems and Solutions: What are some typical obstacles you’ve faced when organising repair activities, and how had you resolved them? Any advice on how to solve issues the day ahead of the event?
Success Narratives: Tell me about any successful or very memorable repair events you’ve organised. What distinguished them from the rest, and what can we take away from them?
