A great chat with Charles Ikem from PolicyLab Africa on the state of the right to repair in Nigeria.

In this session from #Fixfest 2022, Charles speaks about his work to promote #repair and advocate for the #RightToRepair in #Nigeria.

Charles covers how he runs practical repair training for women and girls and how this has become the pillar for their advocacy to reduce inequalities, dismantle stereotypes and create impact.

Back in October, along with @RepairTogether and other comrades we organised #Fixfest 2022 - an international gathering of repairers, tinkerers, activists, policy-makers, thinkers and educators, that took place in Brussels and online.

We had lots of great talks on #repair, #RepairCulture and #RightToRepair - you can watch those that we recorded here:

RT @R2REurope: MEP @msaraswati: the circular economy, repair, remanufacturing can have massive opportunities, to also collaborate with trade unions for a new social contract, giving multiple benefits: efficiency gains, cost savings, strategic autonomy and local employment

Reparatur und die Lebensdauer der Dinge - ein historischer Blick Erste These

Selber-Reparieren ist in Teilen zu einem kommerzialisierten und durch Baumärkte bespielten DIY-Hobby geworden.

#fixfest #fixfest2019

Back from an awesome #FixFest in Berlin last weekend.

3 days of repair activists sharing knowledge, experience and advice.
As well as the launch of the European #RightToRepair campaign!

The overarching theme this year was Repair For Climate. Keeping devices lasting longer can have a huge effect on emissions, so we need to keep pressuring manufacturers and policy makers to let us do it.
