Moishe House London - House Dynamics

"Moishe House London normally has one big Monthly meeting towards the end of each month to plan and decide on the next month's programmes.

We definitely rely on the proactive attitude of each housemate. When a housemate comes up with an idea, it is generally them that drive that programme. They will then enlist the help of another housemate or someone within our Moishe community to make the idea a reality.

The suggestions generally come from a housemates interests and abilities. If someone was to suggest a programme that they themselves were not capable of running, it would most likely to be suggested with another housemate in mind and to be discussed.

We will often have community members offer up ideas for events and come in and run them along with a housemate.

At each event we have 2 housemates to be there. The 1st will be the person driving the idea, the 2nd there to assist in any necessary activity to ensure the smooth running of the programme.

We also try and have bi-weekly breakfast meetings or weekly if an event is coming up that needs to be discussed.

I have lived here for 5 months and think that the dynamic and systems employed by Moishe House London are great and ensure a harmonies house that get things done.

It is at this point that I must apologise to our American counterparts, as you may have noticed that we do spell 'Programme' rather differently!

Best wishes and Moishe Love,

Brett and the Moholo crew,
