Anna Bosshard

Anna Bosshard is PhD candidate in Social/Environmental Psychology at the University of Amsterdam, receives the Isaac Roet Prize to organise and evaluate repair workshops that enable and motivate young residents of Amsterdam to reduce their clothing consumption: How to care for clothing and fix what is broken? How to make new combinations with clothes we’ve had for a long time? ‘By giving practical advice in a communal setting, we hope to empower participants that they (and others) don’t need new clothes all the time.’ She will organise these workshops together with the United Repair Centre in Amsterdam of Makers Unite.
