Explorations in Life space, Life Roles & Identity (ELRI) is an experience based learning lab. The lab is for three days. It is designed on the assumptions that a student requires time, space and a person with whom the student can reflect on the journey of his life; the critical and impactful events of his life which have shaped his life so far; the social, cultural and family codings of role taking and the pulls of the student's own identity to give shape to his life. The lab facilitates to explore students' life experiences from childhood to adolescence, from adolescence to the present and discover that there are multiple meanings to each of the experiences. The aim is to discover freedom from these meanings which are anchored in residues of past experiences and to find relevant and wished for ways of relating to the world. As such, the ELRI focuses on the acculturation processes, societal values of role taking, family socialization process of desirable roles and the individual's own experiences and meanings of growing up.

The ELRI creates a space, a setting and a time for the student to ask some basic philosophical questions as to – Who am I? What is the purpose and meaning of life? How do I relate to the world and people? How do I give shape to my own life and what do I offer to the world? The focus is on relating to the self and relating to the world. There are role plays, social and cultural psycho-dramas, story creation and story telling. The learning takes place under the trees. The participants and faculty go out of the FLAME campus to a resort called Naval Veerayatan which provides an ideal location for self exploration and reflections.
