The event is taking place at the college building where the original venue was bombed by Russian strikes. Organizers relocated the gathering to protect participants from ongoing missile attacks while continuing their mission to teach repair skills.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The festival will feature demonstrations on fixing bikes, electronics, and clothing, alongside an experimental zone called &#8216;Take Me Apart&#8217;. In this area, visitors can explore the inner workings of everyday objects. Nataliia Pasenko, an organizer, stated that holding the event underground ensures young people still have opportunities to learn, create, and imagine their future despite the war. She emphasized that adapting and restoring spaces around them is a constant lesson during conflict.<\/p>\n<p>International Repair Day celebrates community repair for its benefits in reducing waste, lowering living costs, and building skills. Thousands of events are planned globally, including in Egypt, India, and the UK. Fiona Dear, co-director of the Restart Project charity, described the situation as poignancy, noting it is thrilling to see dedicated teams organizing such events under attack. Pasenko added that seeing tangible results from fixing broken items helps people feel they can make a difference right now.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top:2em; padding:1em; border-left:4px solid #0073aa; background:#f5f7fa;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> Positive News &bull; Gavin Haines &bull; October 15, 2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0.5em 0 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.positive.news\/society\/in-ukraine-the-repair-movement-is-heading-underground\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the original article at Positive News &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI-rewritten: This is a summary of an article from Positive News, rewritten by AI (Qwen, running locally) to make it easier to read.
