Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and water-based where possible to ensure a safe environment. Additionally, our professional artists are experts at managing large groups of children, ensuring that everyone follows the safety guidelines while having a blast. We make sure the 'vandalism' stays strictly on the canvas!

Do the students need any prior drawing or painting skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible for children of all skill levels. Our artists start with the very basics, showing the kids how to hold the can and create simple lines. We find that even the 'least artistic' students often discover a hidden talent once they get a spray can in their hands. It’s all about confidence and expression!

What materials does the school need to provide?

We take care of everything so you don't have to! Graffitifun provides all the professional spray cans, caps, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvases'—whether those are wooden panels, large plastic sheets, or even a school wall. All we need from the school is an outdoor space and enthusiastic students ready to get their hands a little colourful.

How many students can participate in one session?

The beauty of our primary school workshops is their flexibility. We can work with a single class of 20 kids or rotate through several hundred students over the course of a full school day. For the best hands-on experience, we typically recommend groups of 15-25 students at a time, but we can scale our team of artists to accommodate your specific school size.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop in Dar es Salaam usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a quick history lesson, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of the masterpiece. If you have a special school event or festival, we can also offer shortened 'taster' sessions throughout the day to fit your schedule.

Can the workshop be tailored to a specific educational theme?

Absolutely! Many schools in Tanzania choose a theme that aligns with their current curriculum, such as environmental conservation, Tanzanian heritage, or school values like 'Kindness' or 'Teamwork'. Just let us know your goals beforehand, and our artists will help the students design a mural that reinforces those specific educational messages through vibrant street art.

The experience

Why choose a street art experience for your pupils? It’s more than just spray painting—it’s about empowerment and local connection. Here’s why schools in Dar are loving it:

💪 Boosts confidence: Kids see immediate, large-scale results, proving they can create something awesome.
🤝 Teaches collaboration: Creating a group mural requires communication and team effort to get the layout right.
🧠 Curriculum-friendly: We can link the workshop to history, social studies, or even local Tanzanian geography!
🎨 Ultimate self-expression: Graffiti gives even the quietest students a powerful way to show their personality.
🛡️ Certified safety: We use age-appropriate gear and professional guidance to keep things 100% safe.
🙌 Zero stress for teachers: We bring everything—you just bring the students!

Step by step

Intro and history: We kick things off with a high-energy intro about the roots of street art and how it evolved from New York subways to the streets of 'Bongo'.
Safety first: Every student gets geared up in their 'artist suit', mask, and gloves. We explain the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely and respectfully.
Sketching the vision: Before the paint flies, students grab markers to sketch their ideas on paper, planning their tags or characters under our guidance.
The first spray: Moving to the practice wall, kids learn the 'nozzle dance'—how to control distance, pressure, and speed to create different lines.
Filling and fading: Our artists demonstrate how to fill in large shapes smoothly and how to blend colours for that classic 'gradient' street art look.
Outlining and details: This is where the magic happens! Students learn to add sharp outlines and 'highlights' to make their artwork pop off the surface.
The grand reveal: Once the mural or canvases are finished, we take a group photo (the ultimate school memory) and let the students explain their creative choices.
Cleanup and pack down: We ensure the area is left spotless, leaving behind only the incredible new artwork for the school to enjoy.

Good to know

We pride ourselves on making our workshops as hassle-free as possible for teachers and administrators. Here’s what you need to know:

Duration: Sessions usually run for 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can adapt to your school timetable. ⏱️
Group Sizes: We work with anything from small groups to whole-year cohorts (split into manageable sessions).
Included: All spray cans, specialised caps, protective suits, masks, gloves, and mobile 'walls' or canvases.
Weather: Since we work outdoors, we always keep an eye on the Dar heat and rain. We’ll coordinate a backup date or undercover area if needed! 🌧️☀️
Peace of Mind: No upfront payment is required, and we have backup artists ready to go so your school event is never cancelled.

Local culture

Dar es Salaam, the "Haven of Peace," is a city overflowing with visual rhythm. From the intricate patterns of Vitenge fabrics to the world-famous Tingatinga paintings, creativity is in the DNA of this city. We bring that same 'Bongo' spirit to our workshops! Our local artists love incorporating Tanzanian flair into their sessions, showing the kids how modern street art can blend with local culture. It’s not just about painting; it's about celebrating the vibrant, bustling energy of Dar through a new medium. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Dar es Salaam is home to some of the most unique transport art in the world? Use our workshop to show kids how the colourful decorations on 'Daladalas' are actually a form of local street expression! 🚌✨
