Majal Design School, formerly known as Espace ّن ﻓ, proudly unveiled its new
certificate programs in Textile Making, Jewelry Design, and Business for Creatives at the Charles Corm Foundation on September 12, 2024.
The event, attended by notable Lebanese designers, partners, students, and friends, marked a significant new chapter for both the school and the Lebanese design sector. The evening featured two films on Majal’s journey and curriculum, followed by heartfelt speeches from founders Yasmine Dabbous and Nour Tannir. The highlight was a surprise flash mob showcasing student-made designs, a true testament to the school’s creative spirit.
Majal Design School stands as a pioneering school in Lebanon, dedicated to providing high-level, professional education that is affordable and accessible to all. The school’s core values emphasize quality education, design thinking, and the creation of sustainable careers.
Founded by two of Lebanon’s exceptional women Yasmine Dabbous and Nour Tannir, Majal is committed to addressing the concerns of both emerging and established Lebanese designers, who have long faced financial barriers within the educational system. In response, Majal envisioned and launched a unique certificate program designed to be accessible to everyone while delivering tangible results and opportunities for Lebanese designers. Instead of pursuing traditional accreditation, Majal chose to partner with successful design businesses in Lebanon, ensuring practical, real-world value for its students.
The curriculum of the programs is tailored to meet the industry’s demands:
- The Jewelry Design Program offers technical knowledge, design sophistication, software literacy, drawing skills, and market understanding.
- The Textile Design Program is the first of its kind in Lebanon, providing designers with expertise in fabric making, management, and decoration.
- The Business for Creatives Program equips students with essential management skills, creating pathways for design entrepreneurship.
In addition to these programs, Majal Design School offers its students access to insightful workshops, internships, and job opportunities through its industry partnerships.
