The exchange let us see first hand how the Remakery engage with their community – we discussed social media presence and ways of raising our profile. Running workshops/repair cafés – we learned about how they respond to demand for specific skills workshops and the ways they interact not just with individuals but with local business too. We also learnt about the things that did/did not work out for them e.g. furniture upcycling and sales. Being able to tour their workshop where donated digital devices are refurbished and made ready for reuse means we’re able to speak more knowledgably about this with our community.
