2026 Celebrate Learning Resource Page
UBC is hosting the 17th Annual Celebrate Learning Week from May 4-8, 2026, online and in-person. We invite the UBC community to pause, reflect, and celebrate learning in all its forms. Centered on people and shared experiences, it honours learning that happens across seasons and spaces—inside classrooms, out in the field, and throughout everyday life.
UBC faculty, staff and students are encouraged to participate in Celebrate Learning Week by coordinating and/or attending events.
