Since 2024, 8PEACE has been running the 'Cultural Bridge Project,' collaborating with diplomatic missions, educational institutions, and local enterprises, primarily in Luxembourg and Germany, involving over 600 participants in cultural exchange and co-creation activities. This new project aims to connect culture and hopes for peace to the future through the shared bird whistle traditions of Japan's 'Hatobue' and Luxembourg's 'Péckvillerchen.'
In February 2026, 8PEACE conducted a Hatobue art workshop in Luxembourg with 45 members of the Luxembourg Boys Choir. Currently, in collaboration with Kyoto traditional artisans and Luxembourgish artists, the team is progressing with plans to create and exhibit commemorative works for 2027.
