Abstract

The article identifies major trends taking place in education and art of the Eurasian region in connection with the implementation of the "One Belt – One Road" initiative: cultural exchange and fusion of cultural, artistic and educational trends; art diplomacy to strengthen diplomatic ties and promote mutual understanding; interdependent development of infrastructure and art projects; market and economic impact on the art environment through investments in the art market of these regions, development of community art space; changes to cultural heritage sites and traditional landscapes, which can inspire art as a means of protest to reflect on the changes caused by the initiative; the development of state patronage of culture and education, which can both stimulate the development of the art space and, in some cases, lead to art censorship; internationalization of education, teachers exchange programs, changes in educational programs in connection with the needs of implementing the initiative.
It has been established that the geopolitical initiative exerts a greater influence on higher education than on general secondary education, but with the course of social transformations, changes are also felt at the school level. It has been determined that the influence of geopolitical initiatives on education may differ significantly in the middle of the PRC from region to region, depending on whether trade and economic routes pass through this territory, as well as on state policy in the field of culture (especially for small nationalities, since priority is given to the popularization of Classical China art) and the peculiarities of the education system in a certain area (within the concept of flexible education).
It has been substantiated that the impact on the art space of schoolchildren occurs due to the complex relationship between the education system, cultural expansion according to the concept of "soft power", geopolitics, regional economic integration and cross-border cooperation in infrastructure development; the identified factors are diverse and rapidly changing.
