    Moishe House Rome & Moishe House London – Belsize Park Aperitivo Making Program
      Planning a virtual gathering? Consider going global! Take advantage of the unique opportunity gathering virtually brings you to expand your networks, learn from folks all over the world, and create a sense of worldwide belonging.    

    Where do I begin?

    • Start by picking an activity or topic you’re already familiar with, identify and explore shared traditions, or create a mutual learning opportunity
    • Start small: connect with just one Moishe House or MHWOW Host using Facebook groups or other shared connections
    • Be inclusive in your planning: consider time zone differences and potential differences in languages

    How do I run a global program?

    • Create a welcoming space by explaining everything fully and encouraging questions
    • As always, start with a fun or thought-provoking icebreaker!
    • Maintain interest and engagement by keeping your program short and sweet
    • Send messages to your new friends afterwards! Thank them for being a part of your program and invite any feedback
