Restart Project is a charitable incorporated organisation based in London with the main aim  ''to tackle the climate emergency by making electronics work for people, for the planet, and for longer.'' I first engaged with the Restart Project in 2015. My collaborator and I were looking for some inspiration on how to run a repair event, so we could start Leicester Fixers. We went all the way to Hackney to attend an event and meet some of the people from the Restart Project. Over the years supporting the idea of repair in Leicester and Leicestershire, Leicester Fixers came down to London at Westminster to support and participate in a Parlimentary Restart Party in 2016. More in the podcast episode  here . We also attended FixFest 2017 in London , FixFest UK 2018 in Manchester and Fixfest 2019 in Berlin .

It is absolutely OK.  Many people do not pursue a career in academia after their Ph.D and even do a job unrelated to their field of study. I am amongst those people I completed my doctorate in the field of Design for Sustainable Behaviour and I looked at the factors influencing people to repair small electrical items. I took the opportunity during my doctorate to organise repair events, and a festival to engage people with this concept of repair. Then, in my discussion, there were some elements about the impacts of poor design decisions on women's wellbeing and sense of worth. I thought that if I had to focused on violence towards women, I would like to focus on the worst. When I submitted my thesis, I looked for a position in gender-based violence field. I wanted it to be part-time so I could pursue my other passions such as writing, arts, travelling, gardening, appreciating the idle time while looking after my family. I also wanted to work closed from home. Quetzal, a charity bas...

P: I do not understand why you've decided to do a doctorate about repairing some bloody electricals, you could have been a solicitor, a politician, in finance, making mounds of money, instead you convinced yourself that you could save the world with a spanner and foolishly forgot to save herself''?  M: I always intended to do it all, do a doctorate, be a solicitor, politician, in finance, making mounds of money, save the world with all tools available to me as well as save myself. P: Truly, I always dreamt for you to be a writer M: You already know I am. I just needed to take the long road to have enough materials to share P:  Happiness and joy M: as well as pain and sorrow More importantly to be honest, true so the reader and I can become true friends, venture in and out on the rive of life together

IT IS TIME FOR EVERYONE TO JOIN  Market Harborough Fixers  specifically if you live in and around Market Harborough, have an item to fix, have the skill to fix, have the dream that one day every single town and villages have a repair café every month! Share this post with your contacts in Leicestershire Yesterday, Divya and I travelled from Leicester to  Canvas Cafe  in Great Oxendon, approximately 2 Miles Away from Market Harborough. We were welcomed by Lara and Jen who run the Canvas Café and the  Country Bumpkin Yurts  and Steven who is running a food growing project on site to support people with mental health issues. He is also involved in a number of projects in the area. I brought a projector from the  Leicester Hackspace , yet it was easily figured that a lovely conversation around a cup of tea was more appropriate. We received pertinent questions when it comes to trying to organise a repair café, the possible footfalls, how to mana...

I truly believe that if we want to support people in creating resilient and sustainable communities, there is a need to be more visible. Theatrical and storytelling performances , public speaking in all are significant outputs that can inspire people to think about a different way of being. So let's get out there and get acting. The sky is the limit.

Most of you know Gumtree the local ads website where there is approximately 1,772 573 as we speak in the UK. For me, it is one of the best local ads website one can find and I love it because I believe it is actually good for the Local Economy. 10 Reasons why: Because it gets good, money, ideas, knowledge, contacts circulating at a fast rate at a local level. There is nothing better than increasing the velocity of exchange to improve a city economy. There is no fee attached to posting an item on gumtree. It makes Ebay look so bad. Items that may be discarded and put in a bin because broken can be purchased by someone who is looking for a spare part. There are plenty more reason to actually be on Gumtree. If Gumtree was to giving me a job, I'll be there ambassadorhttps://www.shopkeep.com/blog/10-ways-small-businesses-benefit-the-local-community#step-1
