Moral Action in a Museum: Learning through a Project-Based Experience

This paper explores the rationale and characteristics of project-based learning as an experiential approach to promoting children’s moral action in China’s museums. By studying the specific program titled A project of protection strategies for the Mogao Caves, I will argue that a program focusing on providing a challenging and meaningful project for children to experience within an authentic, democratic, cooperative, and shared environment united by a common moral goal offers an effective approach to fostering children’s moral action.
