Event promotes reuse and repair

A reuse and repair event is taking place at the Cultural Space of Quingey over two days, November 21 and 22. The event includes continuous reuse workshops, a "repair café" for small household appliances (by appointment), and a free market where attendees can bring or take items such as clothing, books, furniture, and games. The event is organized by multiple local organizations and features a variety of activities aimed at promoting reuse, repair, and sustainable practices.

Workshops and market details

The Tri association will offer three different workshops: a continuous sewing workshop throughout the day, a sewing workshop to make a bag from a t-shirt in the morning, and a repair café for small household appliances in the afternoon. The Rural Family House (MFR) of Morre will manage the free market and will host a furoshiki workshop for wrapping Christmas gifts.

Additional services and activities

The Besançon Object Library (BOB) will allow attendees to borrow objects instead of purchasing them. Saint-Vit Informatique will provide laptop diagnostics and computer advice, though no on-site repairs will be conducted. Thomas Cycles will offer bicycle maintenance advice and demonstrate small repairs. The EMNE association will provide eco-action tips and host a workshop on making natural household products.

Local projects and educational displays

The Cooperative Grocery Store, a local project in development, will present its anti-waste workshop focused on reusing stale bread. The Quingey area library and the Petite Enfance Relay will display results of workshops for young children. SYBERT's Prevention Service and Organic Valorization Service will present reuse and circular economy initiatives, composting advice, and information. The Loue-Lison Intercommunality (CCLL) will provide information on waste management and user rights, along with games to test sorting knowledge.
