Creative Space Beirut provides high-quality, free fashion design education and career support to talented youth from vulnerable backgrounds across Lebanon.
We seek solutions that promote equity and diversity, creating pathways for a more inclusive, collaborative, and socially responsible design industry. The creative scene in the SWANA region is flourishing. However, the steep costs of tuition and resources, along with the design world’s elitist tendencies, often ostracize talented individuals from diverse backgrounds. Though Lebanon contributes richly to the region's creative industry, these challenges are exacerbated by an ongoing economic crisis, political strife, and a lack of government support, creating formidable barriers for emerging creatives.
Mission
Creative Space Beirut's mission is to equip, empower, and uplift young talents from underserved and vulnerable backgrounds across the SWANA region by offering high-quality, tuition-free education, industry exposure, and opportunities for personal and professional growth in fashion design and creative disciplines. The organization is dedicated to nurturing a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and collaboration, with the aim of shaping the next generation of design community leaders.
Vision
Creative Space Beirut aims to transform the creative economy by dismantling socioeconomic barriers and fostering a sustainable, innovative ecosystem where every aspiring creative has the opportunity to thrive.
