Get ready to celebrate the beauty of multilingualism! Join us at various on-campus locations for our annual Arts Multilingual Week! This year, programming will extend from October 16 to 31. 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.
