TrashTalks: Repairing Communities brought together diverse local initiatives to explore repair as a driver of social change, inclusion, and intergenerational connection through practical experiences in different contexts.

 

The event featured Project ReBorn, led by Simon Smith, a creative community in El Born promoting eco-conscious design and upcycling within a collaborative space; Millor que Nou, represented by Norma Rey Garcia, an initiative of the AMB that encourages repair by providing tools, space, and knowledge to help reduce waste; Swap., led by Wara Fabiani, which organizes clothing exchange events that combine sustainability, community building, and new ways of connecting; and OpenArt that shared how Repair Café Barcelona operates.

​

The 7th edition of TrashTalks is part of RePower, a project that promotes Repair Cafés as drivers of inclusion, learning, and positive environmental impact, co-funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme.
