Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

The safety of your students is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Additionally, we use water-based, low-odor spray paint whenever possible for school settings to minimize fumes. Our professional artists are trained to supervise children closely, ensuring a controlled environment where the only thing that runs wild is their creativity!

Do the students need to have prior art skills?

Zero experience is needed! Our workshops are designed for beginners. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold a can, how to control pressure, and how to stay safe. Our artists guide the students through every step. You will be amazed at how quickly a child who has never touched a spray can before can create something truly beautiful and impressive.

Where does the workshop take place?

We are fully mobile! Generally, we come to your school in Dire Dawa and set up in an outdoor area like a sports field or a paved courtyard. If you don't have a suitable space, just let us know. We can often help arrange a creative local spot or bring mobile wooden canvases that can be set up almost anywhere safely.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard primary school workshops usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale masterpiece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into your school’s lesson blocks or special event timings if needed.

What materials does the school need to provide?

We handle everything so you don't have to! Graffitifun provides all the spray paint, protective clothing (aprons/overalls, gloves, masks), and the canvases or boards. We even bring plastic sheeting to protect the ground. The school only needs to provide the excited students and a bit of outdoor space—we take care of the rest of the setup and cleanup.

Can the children take their artwork home?

While we usually focus on creating large, collaborative murals that stay at the school to brighten up the walls, we can also arrange for students to work on individual canvases or small boards. These make fantastic souvenirs that the children can take home to show their families, acting as a permanent reminder of their creative achievement in the workshop.

Is it possible to create a permanent mural for our school wall?

Absolutely! One of the best ways to run a primary school workshop is to have the students work together on a large 'Legacy Mural.' This could feature the school’s name, your values, or a fun theme chosen by the kids. It’s a wonderful way to foster teamwork and leave a colorful, positive mark on the school environment for years to come.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your primary school? Beyond the "cool" factor, street art is a fantastic educational tool that encourages teamwork, confidence, and motor skills.

Boosts confidence: Kids see their small contribution become part of a massive, impressive artwork. 💪
Teamwork in action: Students must collaborate and communicate to ensure their mural looks cohesive. 🤝
Safe & supervised: We use child-friendly techniques and full protective gear for total peace of mind. 🛡️

Professional guidance: Our artists aren't just talented; they are great teachers who love working with kids! 🎤
Unique results: No two workshops are ever the same—your school gets a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. 🏆

Step by step

Initial consultation: We chat about your school’s goals, the number of students, and your preferred date in Dire Dawa.
Creative brainstorming: Students can help pick a theme—maybe local Ethiopian nature, space, or school spirit?
Safety first: On the day, we start by suit-ing up every child in protective masks, gloves, and overalls.
The basics: Our pro artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching how to make thin lines, fat drips, and cool fades.
Sketching the vision: We outline the design on a large canvas or wall, letting the kids see the 'skeleton' of their art.
Color explosion: Under close supervision, students fill in the colors, learning about shading and layering as they go.
Fine-tuning: Our artists help the kids add outlines and highlights to make their graffiti really 'pop' off the wall.
The grand reveal: We take a group photo with the masterpiece—a moment of pure pride for the young artists!
Eco-conscious cleanup: we pack up all cans and materials, leaving the school grounds exactly as we found them (plus some new art).

Local culture

Known as the 'Queen City of the East,' Dire Dawa has always been a hub of connection and vibrant culture, thanks to its historic railway and bustling markets like Kefira. We love bringing our workshops here because the city's unique blend of French-inspired architecture and traditional Ethiopian life provides a stunning backdrop for modern street art. 🛤️

Fun Fact: Dire Dawa was Ethiopia's first 'planned city,' and its wide, tree-lined streets in the Kezira area are the perfect peaceful inspiration for young artists to think big and bold! ✨

In a city where different cultures have lived side-by-side for over a century, graffiti is a powerful way for the new generation to tell their own stories and celebrate the colorful spirit of Dire Dawa.
