Events Programme
The JCC London’s programme of social, cultural and educational events are split into three seasons, each with around 30 events. The programme mixes audiences, age groups and content, encouraging experimentation with ideas and attempting to engage people in new issues.
The events are separated into a few broad categories. One category is 'Arts & Culture', with events ranging from modern interpretations of art and music gigs (e.g. an Idan Raichel Project concert) to events like Kvetch choir (the complaints choir) that encourages people to enjoy their own creativity and a sing along with the pensioner pop group 'The Zimmers'.
Another category of events is 'Books & Debate', including discussions on books related to the community, with guest author appearances, and debates on topics such as 'Has the Left Lost its Way'.
The 'Social Action' category of events is designed to make a difference, and includes Mitzvah Day and events like a 2007 initiative to bring together Jewish and Muslim communities.
Other event categories include Nightlife, Food & Drink, Family Fun, Health & Fitness and Around Town.

Famous quotes containing the words events and/or programme:
“One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant. They are two orders of fact which reflect each other, which are always linked and which sometimes provoke each other.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the “Secret Annexe.” The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
