The Faculty of Engineering and Design Sustainability Committee, CIRCUIT Centre, Ngā Ara Whetū, and Sustainability Hub and other faculties are collaborating with Repair Network Aotearoa to host our own Repair Café at the University for our staff and students!
Repair Cafés are pop up events where expert repairers help visitors fix their broken household items for free. It’s all about bringing communities together, sharing skills between generations, keeping repair skills alive, and saving stuff from going to landfill, instead expanding the lifespan of your belongings, and learning how to maintain them.
We are looking for volunteers for the following areas: sewing, electrical (must be qualified electrician), electronics assessment, general (such as bike repairs, chairs, woodwork etc), jewellery and any other skills!
The event will likely be hosted one afternoon either the 14th or 15th October at the City Campus. Final details TBC.
If you are interested in finding out more information and to volunteer, please send an email to foed-sustainability@auckland.ac.nz and the team will send through details.
