## About this plan

If you are looking for things to do in Bogotá this week and you like hands on skills, the Skills Lab at the Senior Club is worth your time. The Virgilio Barco Public Library, in the Teusaquillo district, opens its doors for a new session of this free workshop where the community shares what it knows.

In this session, a community member will guide attendees through basic home appliance repair. You will see how your devices work, pick up tips for spotting simple faults, and learn how to stretch the life of everyday objects without tossing them out.

It is a chance to learn from peers, value traditional knowledge, and gain confidence at home. The activity is free and part of Bogotá's cultural calendar for seniors.
