What is included in the after-school graffiti workshop?

Each participant is provided with high-quality spray cans in a variety of vibrant colours, a blank canvas or wall space, protective overalls, gloves, and a professional-grade respirator mask. We also supply all the sketching materials needed to plan out your masterpiece before you start painting. Our expert artists bring everything to the location in Dar es Salaam, so you just need to bring your enthusiasm and old clothes!

Is graffiti spray painting safe for students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists are experienced in working with children and young adults, ensuring a supervised environment where they can learn the techniques safely. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Dar es Salaam to ensure a comfortable breathing environment for everyone.

Do the kids need to have any drawing or art experience?

No prior artistic talent is needed! Our workshops are designed to take beginners from 'zero to hero'. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, controlling pressure, and making simple lines—before moving onto more complex lettering and shading. Our friendly instructors are there to guide students every step of the way, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are proud of.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A typical after-school session lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety induction, sketching designs, and the final painting phase. We can adapt the timing to fit your school's specific schedule or extracurricular blocks. Whether it's a quick high-energy blast or a deep-dive creative afternoon, we make sure every minute is packed with fun.

Can you host the workshop at our school in Dar es Salaam?

We offer total flexibility! We can come directly to your school premises in Dar es Salaam if you have a suitable outdoor area, or we can host the group at one of our partner creative spaces. If we paint at your school, we take care of all the protection (tarpaulins and masking) to ensure the surroundings stay clean and only the designated canvases or boards get the professional street art treatment.

What is the recommended age for these workshops?

Our after-school programs are ideal for students aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the physical coordination to handle the spray cans effectively. We tailor our teaching style and the complexity of the designs based on the age group. For older teens, we delve deeper into the culture and advanced techniques, while for younger children, we focus on bold shapes and experimental colour mixing.

How does the payment process work for schools?

We believe in 'fun first', so we don't require any upfront payments to secure your date. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and everyone is satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of the booking process for schools and parents alike. If you need to reschedule or have a change of plans, just let us know in advance, and we'll handle it!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school program? It’s more than just painting; it’s about building confidence and finding a unique voice. Here’s why our sessions in Dar are a total hit:

Confidence boost: Seeing a giant piece of art you created from scratch builds incredible self-esteem. 💪
Perfect for all levels: You don't need to be an "artist" to have fun—we teach the skills from the ground up!
Stress relief: Spraying paint is a fantastic way for students to unwind and express their emotions after a long school day. ✨
Teamwork: Our large-scale collaborative pieces teach kids how to communicate and create together.
Professional mentors: Learn directly from active street artists who are passionate about sharing their craft. 🎤
Safety first: We provide top-tier protective gear and use non-toxic paints wherever possible.

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy intro into the world of graffiti, showing off famous styles and local Dar es Salaam influences.
Safety first: Every student gets geared up with masks, gloves, and overalls while we explain the "dos and don'ts" of spray painting.
Mastering the can: We teach the "magic touch"—how to control the spray, create thin lines, thick fades, and perfect dots.
Sketching the vision: Students grab markers and paper to sketch their names or symbols, planning their layout and colour schemes.
Outline & fill: It’s time to hit the canvas! Students transfer their sketches to the wall, filling in their shapes with bold pops of colour.
The finishing touches: Our pro artists help students add highlights, 3D shadows, and "force fields" to make their work truly stand out.
The big reveal: We step back, admire the collective masterpiece, and take plenty of photos of the crew and their new street art skills.

Local culture

Dar es Salaam, or "Bongo" as the locals love to call it, is a city pulsing with creative energy. From the colourful fabrics of Kariakoo to the evolving murals in Masaki, the city is a canvas waiting to be explored. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging students to blend traditional Tanzanian influences with modern global street art trends. We love seeing how the bright coastal light of Dar inspires the colour choices of our young artists!

Fun Fact: Did you know that the term "Bongo" comes from the Swahili word for brains? It implies that you need to be smart and creative to thrive in the hustle of Dar es Salaam—exactly the kind of mindset we encourage in our workshops! 🧠✨
