Unrepair-Café | SDG+ in Oberzwehren
Fancy screws, pliers, wheels and relays? At the Unrepair Café, we take apart broken or discarded everyday devices together. We learn about technology, materials and tools with curiosity and without pretension.
Anyone who is interested in taking apart technical devices is welcome to the new "Unrepair Café" in the Oberzwehren district store. "As an engineer and university lecturer, I've been thinking for a while about how to get young people interested in technology and sustainability in a very low-threshold way," says Christian Skaley. At the preparatory meeting for the "Future Lab", his ideas found fertile ground and spontaneous support. "Even Christian's working title 'Unrepair' was a hit," say Nour Erksousi and Marcus Angebauer, who are also involved. "In the workshop at our school, I see time and again how curious young people are about tools." Unfortunately, however, the opportunities in the classroom are severely limited and the intrinsic motivation of young people to try things out is often frustratingly regulated in schools of all places. Where the classroom ends, the café begins: "Here we take apart broken or discarded everyday appliances together. We learn about technology, materials and tools with nothing more than curiosity," adds Nour Erksousi.
Anyone who wants to is welcome to bring their own broken or discarded everyday devices, which we will then dispose of.
