- People facing exclusion and organizations managing electronic waste
- Worth noticing
- The same workshop is described as both repair floor and classroom; unrecoverable equipment goes to an authorized waste manager.
Field notes
The listed workflow starts with collection and tracking, then moves through diagnosis, certified data erasure and refurbishment; equipment that cannot be saved is sent to an authorized manager. Course listings include 30-hour digital-literacy sessions, a 120-hour repair course and training on RAEE compliance. The association says each recovered device helps fund subsequent training, and presents annual accounts and activity reports as part of its transparency practice.
