Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every school event. We provide high quality gloves, masks, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are professional artists who are experienced in managing large groups of teenagers, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly and that the environment remains a positive, secure space for learning.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our workshops in Kigoma typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final collaborative mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, we can easily adapt the timing to fit your lesson blocks or afternoon activity slots.

Do we need to provide any materials or equipment?

We bring everything! Graffitifun provides the spray paint, caps, safety gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We even bring plastic sheeting to protect the school grounds from any accidental overspray. All your students need to bring is their enthusiasm and perhaps some old clothes, just in case they get a little bit of paint on their shoes.

Do the students need to have prior art skills?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. We start with the absolute basics, like how to hold the can and control the pressure. Our talented artists guide the students through every step, so even those who do not think they are artistic will be amazed at what they can create by the end of the session.

Can we paint on a permanent wall at our school?

We are very flexible! Traditionally, we work on large plastic-wrapped surfaces or wooden panels that we bring with us. However, if your school has a specific wall that needs a makeover, we can arrange to paint a permanent mural. This is a fantastic way to leave a lasting creative legacy on your Kigoma campus.

What is your payment policy for educational institutions?

We understand that school budgets and planning can be complex. That is why we offer a no upfront payment policy. You only pay after the workshop is finished and you are 100% happy with the result. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation.

Do you offer workshops in other Tanzanian cities?

Yes, we do! While we love visiting Kigoma, we also host workshops in other major cities like Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Mwanza, and Arusha. Wherever your school is located in Tanzania, our team is ready to bring the world of street art to your students and provide an unforgettable creative experience.

The experience

Bringing a graffiti workshop to your secondary school is a fantastic way to engage students who might struggle with traditional art forms. It is physical, fast-paced, and incredibly rewarding. Here is why Kigoma schools love working with us:

Boosts confidence: Watching a giant piece of art come to life gives students a massive sense of achievement. 🚀
Encourages collaboration: Creating a large mural requires students to communicate and work together towards a shared goal. 🤝
Safe environment: We provide all the gear and guidance needed to ensure the experience is professional and mess-free. 🛡️
Cultural relevance: Street art is a global language that resonates deeply with modern youth culture. 🌍
Flexible scheduling: We can work around your school hours, making it easy to fit into a busy term. ⏰
Professional mentors: Our artists are not just talented; they are great at inspiring and mentoring young people. 🎨

Step by step

Introduction and history: We kick things off with a brief, high energy talk about the origins of graffiti and its evolution into a respected global art form.
Safety briefing: Students are fitted with protective gear and taught the essential safety rules for using aerosol sprays.
Mastering the can: Our pro artists demonstrate different nozzles and spray techniques, showing how to create thin lines, fades, and dots.
Sketching the concept: Students grab paper and markers to plan their designs, focusing on letter structure and colour schemes.
First layers: We move to the "walls" where students apply their background colours and start building the foundation of their art.
Outline and detail: This is where the magic happens! Students learn how to "cut" lines and add those sharp details that make graffiti pop.
Character and flair: We encourage students to add personal touches, like shadows, highlights, or unique characters to their work.
Final Group Mural: The class comes together to finish a collaborative piece that represents their collective school spirit.
Review and photos: We wrap up with a group gallery walk and plenty of photos to capture the incredible artwork created.

Good to know

Duration: Typically 2 to 3 hours, but we can customise this to fit your school timetable.
Group sizes: We cater to small art clubs or full year groups of 100+ students with multiple instructors.
Included: All spray paint, specialized nozzles, gloves, masks, overalls, and painting surfaces.
Venue: We come to your school! We just need an outdoor space or a very well-ventilated area.
Safety: Full safety briefing provided; all paints are low odour and our artists are fully vetted.

Local culture

Kigoma is a place of incredible natural beauty and deep history, and we believe its schools deserve an art experience that is just as vibrant. As a major gateway to Western Tanzania, the city has a unique rhythm that perfectly complements the energy of street art. We love bringing our workshops here because the students often draw inspiration from the stunning views of the lake and the bustling atmosphere of the local markets. Fun fact: Kigoma is home to one of the oldest railway stations in East Africa, featuring beautiful architecture that highlights the city's role as a historic hub. Our workshops aim to add a modern, colourful chapter to Kigoma's rich cultural story, encouraging students to see their city as a canvas for positive expression.
