From June 11 to July 6, the project organized various activities in France, the Czech Republic, and Belgium, notably including the Bonjour Vietnam Festival in Paris, the Radiant Vietnam Festival in Prague, the Vietnam Festival in Lorient, and the Viet Culture in Motion International Documentary Film Festival with screenings in all three countries.

A notable highlight of this year's journey was in Lorient, where Vietnamese culture was not only present on stage but also brought to hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and centers for children with disabilities.
For Toucher Arts members, these activities aim not only to promote culture but also to create opportunities for connection, sharing, and bringing stories about Vietnam to less noticed communities.
Alongside cultural activities, Toucher Arts continues to maintain its commitment to allocate all project fundraising to charitable activities in Vietnam.

In August 2026, the project donated 30 million VND to the Thanh An Orphanage – Bui Chu (Nam Dinh) to support the care of orphans and disabled children; 30 million VND for an art education program for orphans at the Xuan Phu Children's Protection Center (Hue). This is a long-term program sponsored by Toucher Arts since 2023.
The project also donated 15 million VND to the Thanh Giong Disability Center to support care and rehabilitation activities for children with disabilities; additionally, 30 million VND was divided into three gifts worth 10 million VND each, supporting three struggling schools in Lai Chau, Dien Bien, and Ha Giang.
Sister Anna Pham Thi Tuoi, representative of the Thanh An Orphanage – Bui Chu, stated that every time Toucher Arts visits, members not only give material gifts but also prepare performances, bringing joy and positive energy to the children. She appreciates the young people's companionship with charitable activities and the challenging homes.
At the Xuan Phu Children's Protection Center, Ms. Thai Thi Kim Thanh noted that the program has helped 100% of the disadvantaged and homeless children at the center access art, music, and painting, thereby bringing spiritual values and positive changes to their lives.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Mi, an art class teacher at the Center, the classes not only nurture the soul but also help the children improve their observation skills, connect with others, and proactively engage with friends.
Student Cao Kha Tam, a second-grader at the Center, shared that participating in the classes has made her more confident, gained more friends, and developed her creativity.
Mr. Nghiem Pham Phuc Anh, a representative of the Toucher Arts project, expressed pride that alongside promoting Vietnamese culture abroad, the project can also fundraise to return to Vietnam, contributing and spreading love to those in difficult circumstances.
He hopes such activities will continue to spread, creating more opportunities for the younger generation to contribute positively to the community.
