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:
