Workshop - Hosting swaps and fix-it clinics

Are you interested in implementing reuse programming in your community or organization? Ever been curious about how to host a swap event or fix-it clinic? Swap events can be community-wide, within an organization or group, or even among friends. They can be for clothing, books, tools, and more. Fix-it clinics are events that engage individuals with repair skills to help keep items in working order and reduce waste. 

In this free one-hour workshop, Emily Barker from Reuse Minnesota will share tips on how to host successful swaps and fix-it clinics, including ideas on how the two concepts can be combined. 

Open to anyone who is interested including government staff, community leaders, nonprofits, educators, students, and more. This workshop will only be available in-person (no virtual option).
