creativity exists everywhere
opportunity doesn’t.
a space to make, learn & imagine.
Founded by British-Cameroonian creative Juliette Foxx and the Kurt Geiger Kindness Foundation, The Creative Corner is a hands-on creative education programme at Holy Infant School in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
Bringing together premium materials donated by British heritage brand Kurt Geiger with the skills and knowledge of local Cameroonian artisans, students learn by making, exploring footwear, bag design, jewellery and the creative business skills that help bring their ideas to life.
At its heart, The Creative Corner is about nurturing young makers and inspiring the next generation of creatives, giving young people the space to experiment, build confidence and discover where their creativity could take them.

the project
What happens when premium Kurt Geiger materials meet Cameroonian craftsmanship, curious minds and plenty of room to experiment?
the space
Tools, colour, materials, big ideas, a little creative chaos and the occasional spontaneous singalong. Put it all together and you get The Creative Corner.
the story
This one’s personal. Juliette started her own education at Holy Infant School, then came back years later with an idea to create the kind of creative space she wished more young people had access to.
The Creative corner is proudly supported by The Kurt Geiger Kindness foundation.
A stand-alone, non-profit organisation founded by Kurt Geiger. Our mission is to build a more inclusive creative industry by providing young people with the support, skills and opportunities they need to overcome barriers and kick start their career.
