REPper
“REPair PERspective”
Euro-MED0200589
Why not? Re-thinking traditional business models, re-discovering the centrality of human value in the pursuit of innovation and competitiveness, re-viewing behaviors, all toward a circular economy model, is more urgent than ever.
Why not? To support SMEs in the repair economy, increase repair skills, and pursue the transition to more sustainable choices by overcoming the existing repair barriers.
The Interreg Euro-MED REPper project aims to address these challenges and propose concrete solutions to meet them. A global challenge such as sustainability, by reducing waste, increasing reuse, adopting regenerative practices and – heart of the project- implementing repair, can only be met by acting on a transnational scale.
How? Through 3 action areas strongly focused on cross-border cooperation: 1. Setting-up a REPper HUBS NETWORK – a unique contact point, physical and/or digital – with the aim of designing and testing a transnational network of pilot services. 2. Creating a REPper FACTORY for upskilling and reskilling, providing training at the highest EU level, to reduce imbalances between Mediterranean regions. 3. Building a new repair culture through “gentle nudges” – NUDGING – that can trigger positive changes and new habits.
These actions will inspire joint solutions such as business model canvas, blueprint, and Nudge; strategies and action plans (Roadmap, recommendations, and policy papers); and, finally, cooperative outputs with an eye to the future: an e-pledge and a letter of interest.
To do this, REPper brings together highly qualified and diversified partners, capable of capitalizing on the past results, implementing them with new actions for public and private targets: SMEs, public authorities, sectoral agencies, business support organizations, schools and, last but not least, citizens.
And if “Why not?” is a question that offers multiple solutions bringing us closer to a Greener Europe, REPper wants to take up the challenge by offering a different perspective.
