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:
“There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. By carefully chronicling the current events of contemporary life, it shows us of what very little importance such events really are. By invariably discussing the unnecessary, it makes us understand what things are requisite for culture, and what are not.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
