As promised following the first repair-cafe event organised in Helsinki last December, thanks to the initiative of Päivi Raivio, there will be 'Trashlab' branded repair-cafe events each month at a series of different venues this year, as part of the Pixelversity 2013 Waste/d theme.

The first of the year takes place on Saturday 23.2. from 14-17 at Made in Kallio space (Vaasankatu 14).

These events are social occasions to gather and try to fix the things you have that are broken, and meet others who care about tinkering, fixing, hacking, and the problem of waste and obsolescence in society. Each time we try to identify someone in advance who has some experience/skills, although everyone is encourage to help each other.
