ASEF‘s contribution is with the financial support of the European Union.

The ARC6 design combines 2 components: measuring tools as used across various academic disciplines and tangram puzzle pieces. The measuring tools portray methodical calculations while the tangrams portray creativity and disruption. The contrasting use of these elements depicts two divergent views of quality education: 1) that quality education can be measured through fixed parameters, and 2) that quality education is a process with outcomes that go beyond mere assessment tools. Historically, tangrams were invented in China and then taken to Europe by sea voyagers in the early 19th century. This resonates with the role of ARC in promoting intellectual, people-topeople exchanges between Asia and Europe.

A measuring jug, as used in chemistry to measure the volume of a liquids or solids, was selected for the ARC6 programme design. Mixing diverse and unusual elements, the programme invites participants to be creative as they consider the composition of quality education in the future.
