Open Assisted Repair Workshop

After a long hiatus, we’d like to once again offer an open repair workshop at the Prenzlauer Berg Community Center. Time and again, people who are interested in this come to us. We look forward to welcoming people who would like to share their knowledge in various fields—such as bicycle repair, electronics, tailoring, sewing, construction, crafts, and much more—in our workshops and help neighbors with their own repair projects. The goal is to support people with expertise and ideas, not to do the entire repair for them. 

To rebuild the program, we’re initially looking for people who want to volunteer regularly (once a month on the weekend). If enough people sign up, we could arrange for volunteers to take turns or participate sporadically. 

-Guidance on repairing a wide variety of items
-Communicating about repair options and limitations
-Lock and unlock the room where the activity takes place independently and use it responsibly

Patience is a key skill; many people come in with repair issues that aren't easy to resolve—or perhaps can't be resolved at all. Tact and sensitivity toward others are also essential.

This involves one meeting per month, lasting 2–4 hours. The exact dates and duration will be discussed and agreed upon with all interested volunteers,

No dogs (except official therapy dogs or service dogs) are allowed
