Repair Cafe Riga

“Garbage” – is that what you call your broken things? Wouldn’t you rather call them “your bicycle”, “your speakers” or “your favorite dress” once again?

If the phrase “to throw something out” or a continuous state of “being broken” isn’t really your thing – welcome! Repair Cafe is a place where concepts like that do not exist.

TOSS IT? NO WAY!

When and where?
Repair Cafe takes place (approximately) every two months in Rīga.

The next Repair Cafe takes place on Saturday 20 February 2016, from 16:00-18:00 at Kaņepes Kultūras Centrs (Skola iela 15, Rīga).

A little bit of history
Repair Cafe is an initiative that first started in The Netherlands in 2009. Over the years, it became a global success – there are now almost 1000 Repair Cafe communities worldwide.

homo ecos: organized the first Latvian Repair Cafe in 2013. After a brief silent period, Repair Cafe was revitalized in 2015, and will hopefully continue to exist for a very, very long time.
