Co-creating Cultures for the Future Week
Connecting the World through music and dance - From Past to Future -
Sachiko Nakajima, Thematic Project Producer "Invigorating Lives" Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan
Through initiatives such as the Cabinet Secretariat's Expo International Exchange Program, the thematic project "Invigorating Lives" fosters cultural exchange with various countries and regions, serving as a bridge between Japan and the world. The future of our planet will emerge through collaboration, and we believe that the harmonious blending of traditional cultural expressions—such as music and dance—transcending language barriers will play a significant role in this endeavor.
As part of the Cultural Co-Creation Week for the Future, this workshop will feature a live performance connecting the world in collaboration with the Jellyfish Band, taking place shortly after the Expo period concludes in April.

Programme details
Through initiatives such as the Cabinet Secretariat's Expo International Exchange Program, the thematic project "Invigorating Lives" promotes cultural exchange with various countries and regions, aiming to connect Japan with the world. Partnerships include Katano City with Ethiopia, Izumi City with Senegal, Nanto City with Trinidad and Tobago, Matsushige Town with Ghana, Ginoza Village with Cameroon, Kamita Town with Jordan, and many more.
We believe the future of our planet will be shaped through collaboration. In this process, the harmonious blending of traditional cultural expressions such as music and dance, which transcend language, will play a significant role.
This workshop, held as part of the Cultural Co-Creation Week for the Future, will feature a live performance connecting the world in collaboration with the Jellyfish Band, shortly after the Expo period concludes in April. Led by thematic project producer Ms. Sachiko Nakajima, the Jellyfish Band serves as a cultural hub that offers live performances engaging all the senses—not just hearing. Acting as a bridge, the Jellyfish Band connects various countries around the world, using music and dance to energize the Expo, foster new encounters, and explore innovative forms of global cultural co-creation for the future.
