About

With the continued development of globalisation, the 'Belt and Road' Initiative offers a key platform for educational and cultural exchanges among participating countries. Multilingual education plays an essential role in bridging cultures and fostering mutual understanding. Furthermore, cultural heritage, particularly the global dissemination of Chinese culture, has become a pivotal bridge connecting overseas Chinese communities with the wider world.

In this context, integrating language learning with cultural heritage, as well as talent cultivation in a multicultural environment has emerged as a significant focus of educational research. The conference aims to explore, from the perspective of the 'Belt and Road' Initiative, how multilingual education can promote cultural integration, maintain the cultural continuity of overseas Chinese communities, and strengthen education collaboration and talent cultivation among various countries and regions.
