Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of education policy in promoting intercultural communication, to compare the similarities and differences between Central and Eastern Europe and East Asia in terms of the integration mechanism of ‘culture+education’, and to reveal the trend of synergistic development of education and culture in the higher education system. Using a comparative research method, Poland and Hungary (representing Central and Eastern Europe) and China and Japan (representing East Asia) are selected as the objects of analysis, combining analysis of policy documents, literature review and case studies, and comparing and analysing the educational objectives, curricula, and the construction of platforms for international cooperation and cultural exchanges. The study finds that Central and Eastern European countries emphasise the strengthening of European identity and the protection of cultural diversity through education, while East Asian countries pay more attention to cultural export and the construction of international image; the two countries show differences in policy orientation, talent cultivation mode and international cooperation mechanism in the path of education and cultural integration. Cross-cultural communication needs to rely on the systematic guidance and resource support of education policy. Central and Eastern Europe and East Asia have their own advantages in the path of integration, and cross-regional educational and cultural cooperation should be strengthened in the future to achieve complementarity and common development.
