Is graffiti spray painting safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for smaller hands to control and provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and ponchos. Our professional artists are experts at supervising primary school groups, ensuring that every child follows safety protocols while having the time of their lives in a controlled environment.

What should the students wear for the workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'play clothes' or old trainers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, kids have a magical way of getting paint in unexpected places when they are having this much fun! It's all part of the authentic artist experience here in Mbuji-Mayi.

Do the children need any previous drawing or painting skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basic 'can control' techniques and move on to simple shapes before we start our big masterpiece. Our artists are there to guide every child, ensuring everyone feels proud of what they’ve created by the end of the session, regardless of their prior artistic skill.

Where in Mbuji-Mayi do these workshops usually take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in an outdoor area like a playground or a sports field. If the weather isn't on our side, we can also work in well-ventilated indoor spaces using specialized water-based paints. We’ll coordinate with your school facilities team to find the perfect spot.

How long does a typical school workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a large group mural. We can adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots.

What materials do we need to provide for the day?

We provide everything! This includes a wide variety of colourful spray paints, caps (nozzles), protective clothing, and the surfaces to paint on. We can bring large wooden panels, canvases, or even paint a permanent wall if the school has granted permission. You just need to bring the enthusiastic students and a 'can-do' attitude!

What is the maximum group size for a school event?

Our Mbuji-Mayi team is quite large, and we can accommodate anything from a single class of 30 to a whole year group of over 100 students split into rotating sessions. We maintain a high artist-to-student ratio to ensure every child gets the attention and guidance they need to succeed and stay safe.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your pupils? It’s more than just making a mess (though we love a bit of paint!); it’s a powerful educational tool that resonates with kids in the 21st century. 🎨

Boosts confidence: Seeing a giant mural they helped create gives children a massive sense of achievement. 💪
Encourages teamwork: You can't make a masterpiece alone! Students learn to plan and work together to finish their mural. 🤝
100% safe & professional: We’ve got years of experience and backup artists always ready, so your event never gets cancelled. 🏆
No-stress planning: We handle everything. No upfront payments, all gear provided – you just provide the space! 🎉
Inclusive art: Graffiti doesn't care about 'perfect' drawing; it's about bold colours and big ideas, making it perfect for every child. ✨

Step by step

The warm-up: We start with a high-energy intro about the history of street art and how it’s all about expression.
Safety first: Our artists demonstrate how to use the gear properly, from fitting masks to handling the cans safely.
Mastering the 'cap': Kids learn about different nozzles and how to control the spray to make thin lines or big splashes of colour.
Sketching the vision: Before we touch the wall, we brainstorm a theme (like 'Our School' or 'The Future') and sketch it out.
First sprays: Every child gets a chance to practice basic shapes and tags on their own section of the practice board.
The mural build: We move to the main event! The students work together to fill in the background and add vibrant details.
Final outlines: Our pro artists help the kids add those sharp 'pop' outlines that make the artwork look professional.
The big reveal: We take a group photo with the finished masterpiece – a moment of pure pride for the little artists!

Local culture

Mbuji-Mayi is a city built on hard work and vibrant energy, known globally as the diamond capital of the DR Congo. We believe there’s another kind of brilliance here: the creative talent of our youth! By bringing street art to the local schools, we’re helping the next generation of 'Diamonds of the Kasai' shine in a whole new way. From the bustling markets to the quiet school grounds near the Sankuru River, the spirit of Mbuji-Mayi is all about resilience and colour.

Fun fact: Did you know that Mbuji-Mayi means "Goat Water"? It comes from the local legend about goats finding a hidden spring. Just like those goats, our workshops help students discover hidden springs of creativity they never knew they had!

We take inspiration from the local culture, encouraging kids to incorporate local symbols and bright Congolese patterns into their graffiti designs. It’s more than just paint on a wall; it’s a celebration of life in the City of Diamonds!
