Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Safety is our number one priority for students. We provide high-quality protective gear, including FFP2 masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep school uniforms clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated legal spaces. Furthermore, our instructors are professionals trained to manage groups of teenagers, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly and that everyone remains within a safe, supervised environment throughout the creative session.

What kind of art results can we expect for the school?

The final design is entirely up to the school! Many schools choose to create a large collaborative mural that represents the school's values, local Ethiopian culture, or a specific educational theme like environmental care. Students can also practice their individual styles or 'tags' on smaller boards or plastic wrap before working on the main piece. Our artists will help guide the students to ensure the final result looks professional and something the school can be proud of.

Do we need to provide any materials?

We bring everything needed for a successful art day. This includes a wide range of professional spray cans in various colors, specialized nozzles (caps), protective clothing, and the canvas or wall materials. We also handle the cleanup and ensure the site is left tidy. The school only needs to provide an outdoor space (like a sports field or courtyard) and access to water for the students to wash their hands afterward.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard secondary school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a full-scale mural. If you have a larger group or a specific project in mind, we can extend the duration to a full-day event or even a multi-day art week to ensure every student gets a chance to participate.

What is the maximum group size for a school event?

We are very flexible with group sizes! We can accommodate small art clubs of 10 students or entire grade levels of over 100 participants. For larger groups, we send multiple professional artists and set up several workstations to ensure every student gets hands-on time with the spray cans and receives personalized instruction. We maintain a healthy student-to-artist ratio to keep the energy high and the quality of work top-notch.

Can we pay via invoice after the workshop?

Absolutely. We understand how school budgeting works. After you enjoy your workshop and are 100% satisfied with the experience, we will send an invoice for payment. We don't require any upfront deposits or pre-payments to book your date. This makes it much easier for school administrations and parent-teacher associations to manage the paperwork and ensures you only pay for a service that you have actually received and enjoyed.
