Paranduskelder is an NGO based in Tartu, Estonia. Our mission is to create a global network of individuals and organisations that have already adapted behaviours, and implemented systems of a circularity based world. We serve this goal on three levels:

HANDS-ON
Paranduskelder (meaning Repair Basement) is a community maker/repair space located in The Widget Factory. We are focused on repair, upcycling and do-it-yourself activities. We aim to encourage change within people’s habits and mindset towards repairing.

LOCAL LEVEL
Paranduskohvik event series (Repair cafe events) provides an opportunity for the local community to gain and develop their DIY and repairing skills. In this manner we demonstrate very practically, that most of the everyday objects, regardless of their design, are in fact repairable.

GLOBAL LEVEL
The international community is grown via YouTube channel Paranda. Paranda’s videos are in English and they cover broader ideas on transition to sustainably functioning global systems.
