The education program,jointly organized by the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders and the Nanjing Education Bureau,represents an innovative initiative of edu-cation in patriotism and international peace.In the context of"museum-school cooperation,"museums,as specific learning spaces,often enhance the effectiveness of educational activities through audience emotion-al engagement.The aim is to emphasize the synergistic role of affective practice in the field of museum edu-cation,fostering the sustainable memory of museums and the formation of public discourse.In this typical museum pedagogical activity,the key to intimate engagement between memory and the audience lies in the people and artifacts in historical events.Whether through the authentic aura of objects or the multiple inter-pretations of survivors'testimonies,these elements are crucial for shaping and responding to the emotional relationship with the audience,enhancing their ability to derive meaning and emotional experiences from participation.As places establishing connections with the past,museums need to reconsider the learning of museum visitors from the perspective of emotional engagement,thus carry outing specific museum-school cooperation projects.
