Now that the repair movement has taken hold in Germany, it is possible to visit a repair café in many places. Most repair cafés have registered with the ertomis & anstiftung foundation, making it easy to research the location and time. A visit to a Repair Café offers the opportunity not only to get to know the organisational structure and the repair services, but also to be part of the repair movement for a few hours. Many repairers and helpers, as well as visitors, agree that it's not just about the repair, but also about the special atmosphere, the communal experience and the reassurance of being part of a movement that goes beyond market-economy structures to promote the extension of useful life as a contribution to the idea of a sustainable lifestyle in society. It is advisable to announce the visit to the organisation team of the Repair Café in advance and to sound out the form in which interviews by the students are desired. Of course, they can also bring their own items that they would like help to repair. It is important to find out in advance which repair services will be offered on the respective date.

It must be clarified in advance where and when a repair café is taking place in the vicinity. The pupils should have drawn up a catalogue of questions agreed in advance in terms of scope and form. If the group is larger, the visit should be announced in advance.
