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:
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
