Zoë Më is a 2026 mentor for the “Lion Kids by Generali” music promotion programme for children

• Zoë Më is well known from her appearance at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest 2025 and will write a song specially for the programme.
• At six one-day workshops in various Swiss cities, 180 children will have the opportunity to try out music and record the song together with Zoë Më. The proceeds from the song go to families in difficult situations.

Adliswil – For the sixth time, Generali is bringing the world of music closer to children with its “Lion Kids by Generali” music promotion programme. The programme is aimed at girls and boys between the ages of six and twelve. Together with professionals, they will discover their musical skills at one-day workshops in various Swiss cities.

“Lion Kids by Generali” gives young people the opportunity to discover their talents and develop their creativity. The focus is on joy and a casual approach to the world of music, bridging a gap in the cultural promotion of young talent in Switzerland.

Zoë Më joins Lion Kids 2026 as a new mentor

Zoë Më follows Swiss musicians such as Noah Veraguth, Dodo, Stefanie Heinzmann, Luca Hänni and Bligg as the sixth mentor for “Lion Kids by Generali”. She rose to prominence among a wide audience after her appearance at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest. With her modern pop music, her strong stage presence and her authentic style, she has broad appeal.

As a creative artist who combines emotions, courage and empowerment, she inspires children to find their voices and to experiment with music. She has all the tools to create unforgettable workshops as well as a song that really resonates.

Zoë Më is a wonderful example of how a success story can be created and developed: she has been associated with “Lion Kids by Generali” from the very beginning. In earlier years, she shared her devotion to music with the children at the workshops. Now she’s coming back as a mentor.

Zoë Më is looking forward to working with Generali:

«It’s a huge pleasure to be a mentor for Lion Kids this year and to be able to record a song with the kids. It’s particularly special because I was actually involved in the very first implementation of the project as a workshop leader, and taught the children the different instruments of the band together with La Gustav. Now things have come full circle and we can make more music together. J’ai hâte! It’s going to be great!»

The Human Safety Net Switzerland: ‘By children, for children’.

The proceeds from the song will go to The Human Safety Net Switzerland foundation. The foundation works to help parents and children aged six and under in difficult situations. It supports programmes across Switzerland that promote early childhood development and equal opportunities. True to the motto: ‘By children for children’.
