How long does a typical workshop for secondary school students last?

Most of our secondary school workshops in Addis Ababa last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for a solid introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, we can easily adjust the duration to fit your morning or afternoon sessions perfectly.

Do we need to provide our own spray paint or materials?

No way! We provide everything the students need. This includes premium spray cans in a rainbow of colors, high-quality caps for different line widths, and essential protective gear like gloves and masks. We even provide the wooden panels or plastic foil walls to paint on. You just need to show up in clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on!

Is the spray paint safe for students to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide FFP2 or FFP3 masks to filter out fumes, and we always conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large, open indoor spaces. Our professional artists supervise the students at all times, ensuring they follow specific handling rules for the spray cans. It is a completely controlled and safe environment for learning.

Can you accommodate students with no artistic background?

Absolutely. We thrive on inclusion. Street art is a wonderful equalizer; it doesn't require previous drawing skills to make something beautiful. Our artists are trained to guide students of all abilities, providing extra support where needed. Whether a student is highly artistic or has never held a brush, they will leave the workshop feeling proud of what they created.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

Addis weather can be unpredictable, but we have you covered! If rain is in the forecast, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or a well-ventilated indoor space like a gym or hall. We also have a network of backup artists, so even if an instructor catches a cold, your workshop will go ahead as planned without any stress.

What are the payment terms for secondary schools?

We make things very easy for schools. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This allows school administrators to handle the paperwork more easily and ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we delivered to your students.

Where in Addis Ababa can the workshop take place?

We are very flexible! While we often set up on school grounds for convenience, we can also host the workshop at various creative hotspots around Addis Ababa. If your school doesn't have the space, just let us know, and we will find a suitable nearby location that captures that authentic urban street art vibe for your students.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your secondary school in Addis Ababa? It’s more than just a break from textbooks—it’s a powerful educational tool that resonates with today’s youth. Here is why schools love working with us:

Boosts creative confidence: Graffiti is intimidating at first, but once students master the can, they feel unstoppable.
Encourages teamwork: Our large-scale mural projects require students to communicate, plan, and execute a vision together.
High engagement: Even students who are usually quiet in class tend to thrive in the high-energy, tactile environment of a spray paint session.

Step by step

Intro and demo: Our pro artists start with a short history of graffiti and show off some cool spraying techniques.
Safety first: Every student gets their protective gear (mask and gloves) and learns the do's and don'ts of spray paint.
Sketching ideas: Students grab paper and markers to map out their designs and tag styles before hitting the canvas.
Can control: We practice basic lines, dots, and fills to get everyone comfortable with the pressure of the spray can.
The big project: Students begin working on their individual panels or a large collaborative mural for the school.
Layering and details: Our artists guide you through adding shadows, highlights, and outlines to make the art pop.
The finishing touch: We step back, clean up the edges, and add those final "wild style" flourishes.
Gallery walk: The group tours the finished works, discussing the different techniques and creative choices made.
Cleanup and wrap: We pack up all the materials, leaving your school grounds exactly as we found them (except for the art!).

Local culture

Addis Ababa is a city of incredible transformation, and its street art scene is no exception. From the colorful murals often seen around the creative hubs of Sarbet to the emerging graffiti talent found near the Addis Ababa University gates, urban art is becoming a key part of the city's visual language. Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging Ethiopian youth to see their city as a canvas for positive expression. We often draw inspiration from local motifs and the bold colors of the Highland landscapes to blend international graffiti styles with Ethiopian identity. By bringing these workshops to secondary schools, we are helping the next generation of Addis creatives find their voice in a city that is constantly evolving and growing.

Pricing

Our workshop pricing is flexible to accommodate different school budgets and group sizes in Ethiopia.

Price range: Br1500 - Br3500 per student.
Note: Final pricing depends on the number of participants, the type of materials used (e.g., permanent boards vs. temporary foil), and the duration.

We believe in transparency and accessibility for education. No upfront payment is required—you pay only after the workshop is finished!
