iLearn Student Community
Earth Day, Everyday
Centred on sustainable living, Earth Day, Everyday explores four everyday areas: clothing, food, housing and transport. Through interactive cards, students reflect on one sustainable action they already practise and one small change they would like to make. With an accessible and highly participatory format, the activity integrates sustainability into daily campus life and encourages students to build a sense of responsibility through practical actions.
iLearn × Douyin Campus WowLand: Dare to Talk
Dare to Talk is a campus communication initiative jointly launched by iLearn and the XJTLU team of Douyin Campus WowLand. Through simple conversation challenges, students are encouraged to step beyond their comfort zones and have genuine, meaningful exchanges with friends, teachers, family members or people they meet on campus. By practising expression, listening and mutual understanding, participants reflect on and share what they learn from each conversation. The initiative aims to strengthen communication skills and empathy, enhance students’ sense of belonging, and foster more open and positive connections across a warm and welcoming campus community.
EmotionMart
EmotionMart is an interactive campus activity launched around National College Student Mental Health Day. Inspired by the idea of a convenience store, it creates a relaxed and open space where students can express their feelings, share their emotions and develop greater self-awareness. Participants write down current concerns, pressures or uncertainties on an Emotion Question Card, then receive an Emotion Bandage offering a warm response and practical suggestions. The experience encourages students to pause and notice their emotional wellbeing, while finding resonance and inspiration in the experiences of others. EmotionMart supports students in approaching emotions with greater openness and positivity, learning to manage stress and engage in self-reflection, while building self-care and psychological resilience within a warmer, more inclusive and supportive campus environment.
iLearn is a student organisation affiliated with the Learning Institute for Future Excellence (LIFE). It provides a student-led platform for learning and practice. As a key channel through which LIFE shares its educational values and approaches with students, iLearn delivers a wide range of activities and projects that bring Research-led Learning (RLL) to life, helping students discover their interests and explore the many possibilities of university life.
Starting with students’ interests, iLearn encourages them to investigate real-world questions and learn through hands-on practice, while developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills and an innovative mindset. Core members act as catalysts within the community, turning LIFE’s educational principles into engaging campus experiences through activity design and content co-creation. In doing so, they help foster a future-oriented learning culture and a supportive ecosystem for student development.
A Platform for Learning and Practice
iLearn regularly delivers themed activities and practice-based projects across both online and on-campus settings, including Campus Colourwalk, Earth Day, Everyday, Dare to Talk, EmotionMart and the 21-Day Challenge.
The community enables students to learn and grow through authentic tasks that begin with their interests and are driven by real questions. Members experience the full journey from idea generation to project delivery, gaining hands-on experience in learning design, project management, content creation and event implementation. Through practice, they build practical capabilities while developing a deeper understanding of Research-led Learning.
An Open Community for All Students
Beyond its core members, iLearn is open to the wider student community. Through themed activities, workshop series, guest talks and online content, more students are invited to discover and experience Research-led Learning.
iLearn encourages students to begin with their own interests and real-life questions, nurturing curiosity and intrinsic motivation through participation. By moving from passive reception to active exploration, students can discover more diverse ways to learn and grow.
Our Activities
Campus Colourwalk
Campus Colourwalk is a light-touch interactive activity that combines observation, creative expression and self-exploration. Using colour as a guide, students rediscover the campus and capture the details and changes of spring through a nine-photo grid. The activity invites them to slow down amid busy academic life, strengthen their observation and communication skills, and reconnect with both the campus environment and their own feelings.
