Repair instead of throwing away: Commitment to sustainability in Spandau

In Spandau it is really round! Werseeped volunteers fight against the disposable mentality of our modern society here. Everyone has already experienced it: the latest gadget is broken faster than you can say "repair"! But don't worry: the small but fine repair cafes in Spandau offer a creative solution!

When Peter Fox sings: "If you don't like it - make it new", then it is only right! Because dissatisfaction has taken a new turn in Spandau: with skill and passion, the volunteer old electrical appliances give a second spring again. Here is fiddled, tinkered and repaired - with an enthusiasm that is contagious!

volunteer rock stars of repair art

At the forefront is Norbert Überfeld, a virtuoso hero of sustainability. He is not only the volunteer of two repair cafes, but also the living example of how to raise awareness of environmental protection with dedication and know-how. His motto? "Anyone who appeals to me authentically gets an authentic answer." A real charm with a mission!

In these small, galic villages of repair art, not only is screwing and sanding - here it is also discussed, laughed and ideas exchanged. Benjamin Schneider, the host of the podcast "thousand and volunteering", will talk to Norbert about the challenges and experiences of the topics of the environment, sustainability and the repair bonus.

And how can we all benefit from it? These conversations are stirring and hopefully offer many exciting knowledge!
