The UBC-Community Learning Initiative (UBC-CLI) Learning Community is a series of events offered to UBC students who are engaged in community-based experiential learning (CBEL) this academic year. Your CBEL opportunity may be a project assigned as part of a course, a structured opportunity through the popular Trek or Reading Week programs, or of your own making. However you are involved in community, the UBC-CLI Learning Community is here to help you learn from your peers and engage with academic theory that will help you make the most of your experience.
