Google-translated from the website:
”More and more repair projects are emerging in schools, youth facilities and even kindergartens. Even if repairs are not (yet) anchored in the curricula, they make an important contribution as part of education for sustainable development and personal development. In order to inspire further projects and to encourage them to start repairing, this collection of experiences, assistance and handouts around repairing with children and adolescents serves. A lot is possible - from repair projects in the field of technology / work apprenticeship / AWT, through the school's own repair café, tinkerers' groups, visits to repair initiatives to the student repair workshop.”
