Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our main priority. We provide all students with high-quality FFP3 face masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep their school uniforms clean. Our professional artists are highly experienced in managing large groups of young people, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly and that the environment remains a safe space for creative expression.

Can you host the workshop at our school in Bogota?

We are incredibly flexible when it comes to location. We can host the workshop at one of Bogota's vibrant legal street art zones, or we can bring the entire setup to your school premises. If we work at your school, we use large mobile canvases or plastic sheeting to ensure your walls stay exactly as they were, leaving only the art behind.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

A standard educational workshop usually lasts between 90 minutes and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for an introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale group mural. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots.

What is the minimum age for students to participate?

We believe street art is for everyone! Our school workshops are designed for students aged 8 and up. We tailor our teaching style based on the age group; younger primary school children focus on simple shapes and bold colours, while secondary school students can dive deeper into complex lettering, shading techniques, and the social history of the urban art movement.

Do students need any prior drawing or painting skills?

Not at all! One of the best things about graffiti is that it’s a brilliant leveller. Students who might struggle with traditional fine art often find they have a natural talent for the bold, energetic nature of spray painting. Our artists guide every student step-by-step, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their prior artistic experience, feels proud of what they create.

How does the payment process work for educational institutions?

For our school workshops, we operate on a 'trust first' basis. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking. We will send an invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes the administrative process much easier for school bursars and departments, allowing you to focus on the educational value of the day.

What should the students wear on the day?

We recommend that students wear comfortable, older clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full protective gear including overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy. It’s best to be prepared so everyone can relax and enjoy the creative process without worrying about their favourite trainers!

Lokale Kultur

Bogota is globally recognised as one of the most exciting hubs for street art, with walls that tell the stories of Colombia’s complex history and vibrant future. From the iconic murals of La Candelaria to the massive displays along Calle 26, the city serves as a living gallery that provides the perfect backdrop for our workshops. We don't just teach students how to spray paint; we connect them with the local culture that has made Bogota a destination for artists from around the world.

Our workshops often draw inspiration from the diverse styles found in Santa Fe or Chapinero, encouraging students to look at their own city with fresh eyes. By engaging with the local street art scene, students gain a deeper appreciation for the urban environment and the power of public art as a tool for social commentary and community building. It’s more than just a lesson—it’s an immersion into the soul of Bogota.
