The "new reality" of Australia's involvement with Asia has brought an added urgency to the call for curriculum inclusions that ensure appropriate and positive levels of Australian engagement with countries of the Asian region. This paper discusses the "Delors" report and considers its "Learning To Know, Learning To Do, Learning To Live Together and Learning To Be" framework in the context of the Asian-Pacific's place in Australian arts education. Highlighted is the Asia Education Foundation (AEF), established in 1992 as a national organization to promote Asian studies in Australian schools. (BT)
