Get ready to celebrate the beauty of multilingualism! Join us at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre from October 27 to 31 for our annual Arts Multilingual Week! This event is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in cultures and languages from around the world.

In collaboration with multiple units from the Faculty of Arts and beyond, our program will showcase a wide array of student-focused activities aimed at engaging with the rich tapestry of languages spoken at UBC.

As Arts Multilingual Week gets closer, we will continue to update event details and announce any new events.
