بيت الفكر الحديث

A house where people think, make and grow together.

Beit Il Feker Alhadith is a community for adults who want to keep learning after school ends, through gatherings, workshops and projects our members lead themselves.

Discover yourself. Develop your abilities. Contribute to your community.

Members who stood up and led

Nothing here is handed down. Someone from the community has an idea, builds a team and brings it to life. Here some of them tell you how, in their own words.

Manager of Sawa Men 3icha Sa7

How an idea became their first event, a World Cup final screening outdoors, and why the next two took people back to their childhood and back to 2005.

Co-founder of Beit Il Feker Alhadith, manager of the NCAS football team

How the idea of a football team grew inside the house, the games they have organised, and what makes NCAS different from joining a regular team.

Three house rules

No bullying. No politics. No hatred.

Just people learning, creating and celebrating together, on a foundation of respect and love.

Now showing: what those rules look like on a night out

There is a place for you here

You don't need a plan, a skill or a friend who already comes. Come as you are, and we will make room.

  • Come to a gathering and just listen
  • Bring an idea you can't stop thinking about
  • Or simply say hello
