October 16 is the International Repair Day celebrated all over the world. It was first organized by the Open Repair Alliance in 2017 to promote the value and importance of repair and to support people and craftsmen who repair things.

Also, this day is a good opportunity to demonstrate to the society his extravagance. We can all do a little more to take care of what we own. It is not necessary to buy a new thing every time, if it is possible to repair it. This event highlights the efforts and rights of repair shops, private craftsmen and businesses that make repairs possible and defend the consumer’s right to repair for all types of goods.

Anyone can take part in this event. On this day, you can include things that need “reanimation”, share your thoughts on social networks and urge people not to break or throw away, but to fix.
