Fix things at a culture repair workshop

SESC units and public libraries across Brazil host repair cafes, upcycling workshops, and hands-on days where volunteers help mend clothes, bikes, and small appliances.

What you can do in Brasil

  • Browse SESC São Paulo atividades for repair and workshop listings near you
  • Search your city SESC or biblioteca publica for oficina de reparo or repair cafe
  • Bring one broken item and stay to learn the fix with a volunteer coach

How to join

Sessions are often free or low cost. Dates change by unit: open the organiser calendar for the branch closest to you. The national listing does not show every city at once.

Why it matters in Brasil

Keeping good objects in use saves money, cuts waste, and passes repair skills from one neighbour to the next at a shared table.

Good to know

  • What can I bring? Most cafes take small electronics, clothes, and bikes. The page for your unit lists limits.
  • Do I need to register? Some branches ask for a free sign-up. Check the event page for your city.
