The Restart Project
At the core of our work is the implementation of Restart Parties, the free community events we created for collaboratively repairing broken electrical and electronic devices with the help of volunteers. These events prevent waste, spread new skills and change participants' relationship with electronics. We also promote the concept online and run events in workplaces and educational institutions.
