Collective Growth: Cultivating Meaningful Change

Celebrate Learning Week 2025

May 5 – 9, 2025


Meaningful change doesn’t happen in isolation; it’s shaped by the people, ideas and actions that come together with intention. At the 16th annual Celebrate Learning Week, we will highlight the ways we plant the seeds of change for lasting impacts in teaching and learning. Whether it’s taking the first step, nurturing ongoing efforts, or reflecting on lessons learned, this year’s theme centers on showcasing collective growth, meaningful change and the relationships that make it possible.  


Call for Session Proposals

This year, we encourage proposals that explore meaningful change in teaching and learning. Celebrate Learning Week provides a space to examine how individuals and institutions navigate transformation—whether through small, everyday shifts or large-scale initiatives.

Join us in shaping conversations that inspire and cultivate a culture of continuous learning.


From May 5 to May 9, 2025, the Provosts and Vice-President Academic from UBCO and UBCV will collaboratively present this cross-campus week-long initiative showcasing teaching and learning at UBC through open lectures, poster sessions, panel discussions, workshops and more. UBC faculty, staff and students as well as community members are encouraged to participate in Celebrate Learning Week by attending and/or coordinating events. Learn more about CLW.

We acknowledge that Celebrate Learning Week is being hosted on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Syilx Okanagan Nation and the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) People. The organizing committee would like to express its gratitude to those communities for all of their contributions to the teaching and learning community at UBC. We encourage everyone to learn more about the relationships between UBC and the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) People + the Syilx Okanagan Nation.
