Creative Space Beirut’s students are the beating heart of our institution. They come from diverse backgrounds, encompassing a spectrum of vulnerable socioeconomic circumstances across Lebanon, including Palestinian and Syrian refugee communities. Each year, approximately 50% of an average of 150 applicants are invited for interviews based on their portfolios and demonstrated talent. The selection process prioritizes individuals from economically or socially challenged backgrounds. Following interviews, about 25 candidates are chosen to participate in an intensive workshop program designed to evaluate their creative potential and character. Ultimately, between 7 - 10 students, aged 16-25, are selected to join the program.
