The project initiators wish to draw attention to the fact that many everyday objects are not used very long. "Under the motto Repair – Rethink – Reuse, right at the beginning of the semester, we want to make people aware that many everyday items are used too briefly, and we want to inform students about the concept of the Berlin repair café," says Karola Braun-Wanke, who coordinates the SUSTAIN IT! initiative. By repairing things together, people gain awareness for the value of products and the burden on the environment from increasing production, growth, and consumption. "Through the clothing exchange, we are also focusing on the global exploitation structures in place for the production of clothing, and we are trying to sensitize individuals to change their habits in favor of a more just and sustainable consumption," says Karola Braun-Wanke.
