A school that trains its students in traditional crafts so they can repair items instead of throwing them away

L’École de la Réparation is setting up shop in Roubaix

By questioning the origin and purpose of products, L’École de la Réparation trains its students in crafts and fashion and empowers them to collaboratively develop their projects.

Faced with overproduction and the resulting mountain of waste, there is a shortage of artisans. Passing on this expertise is becoming crucial to training the next generation of repairers

This program runs from September to July. It is open to anyone aged 18 and older, with no academic requirements.
It consists of 1,326 hours of classes and workshops taught in French, structured into 35-hour weeks from Monday to Friday and a one-month professional immersion period.

This training program pays the minimum wage. 

At the end of the program, each student presents a final project before a panel of professionals.

A professional certificate will be awarded upon successful completion of the program.
