Meeting Point for Jewish Thought and Culture

Paideia Mifgash is a series of Sunday events taking place in different locations across Europe. Each event is connected by one shared theme.

The project aims to strengthen and celebrate Jewish thought and culture in all its forms. It creates opportunities for people to meet, share ideas, build connections, and exchange experiences at both local and European levels.

Paideia Mifgash also highlights the diversity of Jewish life and supports Paideia Alumni in becoming more active and engaged in their local communities.

Paideia Mifgash events are organised by Paideia graduates (Alumni). However, participation in the events and activities is open to everyone.
