Free repair training programme returns for second edition in Lisbon

Electrão, Circular Economy Portugal and Repair Café Lisboa are launching a second edition of Academia REPARA, a free training course teaching the public to repair electrical and electronic equipment. Starting in October, it runs over 12 Saturday morning sessions at Entrajuda's donated goods bank, with 10 to 20 participants taught by experienced Repair Café fixers. The course aims to build practical repair skills among consumers, supporting the EU's growing right-to-repair agenda and helping extend product lifespans to cut waste and raw material use.
