Description
The Culture of Repair Project Grants are designed to support educators and community advocates who aim to foster a culture of repair among young people in primary and secondary schools or similar educational settings. The grants fund projects that teach repair as a mindset—emphasizing conceptual frameworks, thinking skills, and environmental impact—while empowering students to take ownership of their belongings through hands-on repair. Projects should produce resources, curricula, or guides that can be shared and adapted by others, ideally under a Creative Commons license. Priority is given to initiatives that repair physical objects, go beyond technical skills, and create multiplier effects for broader educational impact. Grantees are expected to make their work visible and contribute to the wider repair movement in education.
