Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our workshops in Dire Dawa are led by professional artists who supervise the group at all times. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control, ensuring a safe, creative, and worry-free environment for both the students and the school staff.

How long does a typical school session last?

A standard workshop for secondary schools in Dire Dawa typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, practicing basic techniques, and finally, completing a large-scale project or individual canvases. We can also adapt the timing to fit your specific school schedule or double-period blocks if needed!

Do we need to travel, or do you come to our school?

We are fully mobile! We can bring the street art experience directly to your school playground or sports field in Dire Dawa. We bring all the necessary protective flooring and plastic sheeting to ensure we leave no permanent marks on school property. If you prefer to head out, we can also arrange for a session at a legal wall or specialized art location within the city.

Do students need prior drawing or painting skills?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Whether a student is a natural-born artist or has never held a spray can before, our mentors provide step-by-step guidance. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring every teenager feels confident enough to express themselves. It is often the students who think they aren't artistic who end up surprising themselves the most!

What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?

Our workshops are very flexible. We can work with small elective art classes of 15 students or rotate through entire year groups of 100+ students throughout a school day. For larger groups, we bring additional professional artists to ensure every student gets personalized attention and a chance to spray. We recommend contacting us for a custom plan based on your student count.

What are the costs for a secondary school workshop?

We understand that school budgets can be tight! Our pricing usually ranges from Br1500 to Br3500 per student, but this varies significantly based on how many students participate and the duration of the workshop. For larger school groups in Ethiopia, we often offer special discounted packages. The best way to get an accurate price is to request a custom quote via our website.

Can the students create a permanent mural at the school?

Yes, we do! If the school has a specific wall that needs a makeover, we can facilitate a project where students design and paint a permanent mural. This is a great way to build school spirit and leave a lasting legacy. Alternatively, students can work on individual canvases or large wooden boards that can be displayed inside the school corridors or classrooms after the event.

Local culture

Dire Dawa has always been a city of movement and expression, from the rhythmic sounds of the Ethio-Djibouti Railways to the vibrant colors found in the local markets. This "hub" energy makes it the perfect place for street art to thrive! While the city is famous for its architecture and heat, we are bringing a cool, artistic breeze to its secondary schools. 🎨

Fun fact: Did you know Dire Dawa was one of the first planned cities in Ethiopia? That organized spirit makes it a great canvas for structured graffiti art that celebrates both history and the future. We love incorporating local Dire Dawa motifs—like the iconic trains or the beautiful Flame Trees—into our workshop designs!
