Project information
Project title: REPair PERspective
Project acronym: REPper
Programme priority: Greener MED
Project Goal
To develop the culture of repair by offering concrete responses to multi-layer challenges:
- the creation of new sustainable business opportunities,
- the upskilling in green job sectors and
- the change of mindset by promoting the circular approach.
Project specific objectives
With this test project we would like to support SMEs in the repair economy, increase repair skills (specific trainings), change policy makers and consumers attitude and pursue the transition to more sustainable choices by overcoming the existing repair barriers. Activities will inspire joint solutions such as business model canvas, blueprint, nudge strategies and action plans (Roadmap, recommendations, and policy papers).
Key project activities
Three action areas strongly focused on cross-border cooperation:
- Setting-up a REPper HUBS NETWORK - a unique contact point, physical and/or digital - with the aim of designing and testing a transnational network of pilot services.
- Creating a REPper FACTORY for upskilling and reskilling, providing training at the highest EU level, to reduce imbalances between Mediterranean regions.
- Building a new repair culture through "gentle nudges" that can trigger positive changes and new habits.
