Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respirators, protective overalls, and gloves to every student. Our professional artists are trained to manage large groups in Bergen, ensuring that spray cans are used responsibly and that the environment remains well-ventilated throughout the secondary school workshop.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard secondary school session in Bergen usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This provides enough time for a brief introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on spray painting. We can also adjust the timing to fit specifically into your school's timetable or activity day requirements.

Where in Bergen do the workshops take place?

We can host workshops at various legal graffiti walls around Bergen, such as at Sentralbadet or local sports complexes. If your school has a suitable outdoor space or a wall you’ve been granted permission to decorate, we can bring the entire mobile setup directly to your campus for a truly local experience.

Do students need to bring their own equipment or paint?

Your students don't need to bring a thing! We provide all the professional spray paint, caps, safety gear, and sketching materials. We do recommend that students wear old clothes and shoes just in case, even though we provide protective suits, as paint can sometimes find its way onto sleeves or trainers.

What is the maximum group size for a school event?

We are very flexible. We can work with a single class of 20 students or rotate through multiple groups of up to 30 students at a time throughout the day. For larger year groups in Bergen, we often bring extra artists to ensure every student gets enough 1-on-1 guidance and spray time.

Can we choose a specific theme for the artwork?

Definitely. Graffiti is a fantastic way to explore themes like identity, social justice, or local Bergen history. If you have a specific curriculum goal or a school value you'd like the students to focus on, just let us know. Our artists can tailor the design phase to reflect those specific topics.

What happens if we need to cancel or change the date?

We understand that school budgets and plans can change. That is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront payments. Additionally, we have backup artists ready to go, so your Bergen school event will never be cancelled due to staff illness.

The experience

Why bring a graffiti workshop to your Bergen secondary school? It’s more than just painting on walls; it’s a gateway to confidence and creative thinking. Students who might struggle in a traditional academic setting often thrive when given a spray can and a blank canvas.

Boosts collective morale: Working on a large-scale mural fosters incredible teamwork and shared pride.
Safe environment: We teach the difference between vandalism and street art, promoting respect for the local Bergen community.
Professional mentorship: Students work alongside real-world artists, learning about careers in the creative industries.
Inclusive activity: Graffiti doesn't require "traditional" drawing skills; it's accessible to everyone regardless of their previous art experience.
Stress relief: The physical nature of spray painting is a great way for teenagers to release energy and express their emotions.
Zero risk booking: With our no-prepayment policy and backup artist guarantee, your school's schedule is always protected.

Step by step

Introduction and history: We start with a brief, engaging talk about the origins of graffiti and how it evolved into the modern street art seen around Bergen today.
Safety briefing: Students are fitted with professional masks, gloves, and overalls. We explain the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely and respectfully.
Technique demonstration: Our pro artist shows the basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths using various caps.
Sketching the concept: Students grab paper and markers to plan their designs, focusing on letter structure, 3D effects, and colour schemes.
First lines: Moving to the wall or boards, students begin by 'ghosting' their outlines and getting a feel for the spray distance.
Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! Students learn how to blend colours and create smooth gradients within their pieces.
Outlining and details: Using high-pressure cans, we teach them how to sharpen their edges and add those final 'power line' highlights that make the art pop.
The group gallery: We conclude by reviewing everyone’s work, taking group photos, and discussing the creative choices made during the session.

Good to know

Duration: Flexible sessions ranging from 90 minutes to a full 5-hour school day.
Group sizes: Small groups of 10 up to large year-group rotations of 100+ students.
Everything included: High-grade spray cans, caps, protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and canvases or boards.
Safety: Professional FFP3 masks used at all times. Taught by vetted, experienced artists.
Weather: If the Bergen rain hits, we have indoor solutions or covered outdoor spots available.

Local culture

Bergen is more than just the gateway to the fjords; it’s a hidden gem for street art in Scandinavia. From the famous murals adorning the streets of Skostredet to the legal spots near the city centre, Bergen’s creative energy is infectious. Our workshops tap into this local 'Bergensk' vibe, encouraging students to draw inspiration from the city's dramatic landscapes and its bold, modern art scene. We often reference local legends and the city’s unique urban aesthetic to show students how graffiti isn’t just about tagging—it’s about contributing to the visual soul of the city. Whether we are working near the waterfront or alongside a school playground, the spirit of Bergen’s artistic rebellion is always part of the session.

Pricing

Our school workshop pricing is designed to be accessible for Bergen educational budgets. Prices typically range from kr300 to kr650 per student, depending on the total number of participants, the duration of the session, and the materials used (such as taking home individual canvases versus a large communal mural). We believe in transparency and flexibility, which is why we never ask for money upfront—you only pay once the workshop is complete and everyone is happy.
