Zoé Clauzure, Junior Eurovision Winner, Becomes Youngest Ambassador for Peace at the Non-Violence Project
October 16, 2024 – Zoé Clauzure, the 2023 Junior Eurovision Song Contest winner, has just been named the youngest-ever Ambassador for Peace for the Non-Violence Project (NVP). At just 14, Zoé is already using her voice and music to champion peace and stand up against violence and bullying.
In her new role as Ambassador, Zoé has reimagined the iconic Knotted Gun sculpture, originally created by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd after John Lennon’s tragic death in 1980. Her version, Dreams and Nature for Peace, represents a world built on respect.
Zoé handed the sculpture over to the 2024 Eurovision winner, Nemo, during the finals in Malmö this May, delivering a powerful message: Peace can be achieved through music and the arts, crossing borders and generations.
“I’m so proud to be a Non-Violence Ambassador,” said Zoé Clauzure. “For me, peace means everyone respecting each other’s differences. It’s a world without violence, where music and lyrics can help build bridges to a more peaceful future.”
Zoé has already achieved remarkable things in her music career. She’s performed with artists like Amir, Yseult, and won praise from Camille Lellouche and Barbara Pravi. A semi-finalist on The Voice Kids in 2020, Zoé has released singles such as Ma place and built a loyal online following with her original music and piano covers. Very soon she will also release an EP of five songs.
Her 2023 Junior Eurovision song Coeur—which focuses on school bullying—has struck a chord with audiences, becoming an anthem of resilience and hope. Zoé’s passion for addressing bullying through her music perfectly aligns with NVP’s mission of empowering young people to resolve conflicts peacefully.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Zoé as our youngest Ambassador for Peace,” said Maria Norberg from the Non-Violence Project. “Her dedication to standing up against bullying and promoting peace through music is an inspiration. With her voice, Zoé embodies our mission to motivate and educate youth on solving conflicts peacefully, and she follows in the footsteps of Ambassadors like Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Ringo Starr, Patrizia Gucci, and Muhammad Ali.”
Zoé will return to the Paradis Latin stage in Paris starting on October 19th, and she’s set to perform at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest final in Madrid this November, where she will pass the torch to the next winner—continuing her mission to spread peace through music.
