This June Bank Holiday weekend, Tog Hackerspace will be heading to Bord Bia Bloom in the Phoenix Park.
Bloom is always a lovely mix of gardens, food, flowers, sustainability, and community ideas. This year, we are delighted to be taking part in the conversation around circular communities in Ireland.
Our own Jeffrey Roe will be joining Eibhlin Fitzpatrick of Circular.ie and other familiar faces from Ireland’s circular economy and community space for a panel discussion on the Sustainable Living Stage.
The panel takes place at:
12:45pm
Monday 1st June
Sustainable Living Stage
Bord Bia Bloom, Phoenix Park, Dublin
At Tog, we spend a lot of time thinking about how people can learn practical skills, share tools, repair broken things, and keep useful items in circulation for longer. From our regular Repair Cafés to electronics nights, workshops, and community projects, we see first-hand how much can happen when people have access to a friendly space, a bit of knowledge, and someone willing to say, “Let’s have a look inside.”
Circular communities are not just about recycling at the end of an item’s life. They are about building local confidence, sharing skills, reducing waste, and helping people feel that they can understand, maintain, and repair the things around them.
We are looking forward to bringing a little bit of the hackerspace spirit to Bloom, among the gardens, flowers, and sustainability conversations.
If you are visiting Bloom on the June Bank Holiday Monday, do drop by the Sustainable Living Stage and say hello. We will probably be talking about fixing things, hackerspaces, and why we all seem to own far too many mystery cables.
