Do my students need to be 'good' at art to participate?

No previous artistic experience is needed at all! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at guiding students of all skill levels. We start with the basics of can control and simple lettering before moving on to more complex designs. The goal of our Mbeya secondary school workshops is to build confidence and have fun, ensuring every student leaves with a sense of accomplishment and a cool piece of art.

Is spray painting safe for secondary school students?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are selected for their quality, and we always conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large indoor spaces with proper airflow. Our instructors are fully trained in safety protocols and supervise the group closely throughout the entire creative process to ensure a secure environment.

How long does a typical workshop in Mbeya last?

A standard workshop for secondary schools usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for an introduction to street art history, a safety briefing, some practice time with the cans, and finally, the creation of a group mural or individual pieces. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into your specific school timetable or extend it for a more intensive full-day art project.

Can we choose a specific theme for our graffiti mural?

Absolutely! We love it when schools have a specific theme or educational goal in mind. Whether you want to focus on local Tanzanian culture, environmental awareness, or school values like 'respect' and 'teamwork', our artists can help students incorporate these messages into their graffiti. It’s a fantastic way to combine creative expression with the subjects students are currently studying in their secondary curriculum.

What is your payment policy for school bookings?

At Graffitifun, we believe in flexibility and building trust. That is why we don't require any upfront payment or deposits to secure your booking. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and your students have had an amazing experience. This policy ensures total peace of mind for school administrators and teachers when planning their extracurricular events in Mbeya.

What happens if an artist is unavailable on our scheduled date?

We understand that school schedules can be tight. If your primary artist is unable to make it due to an emergency, we have a reliable backup system in place. We have a network of professional artists across the region, ensuring that your workshop goes ahead as planned. You can count on us to be there on the day, ready to inspire your students.

What should students wear on the day of the workshop?

We recommend that students wear comfortable, old clothes that they don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full protective suits and gear, graffiti is a messy art form, and it's better to be safe than sorry! Comfortable shoes are also a must as students will be on their feet and moving around while they master their spray-painting techniques.

Local culture

Mbeya, nestled in the stunning Highlands of Tanzania, is a city defined by its vibrant energy and breathtaking landscapes. From the peaks of Mount Loleza to the bustling markets, there is inspiration around every corner. While traditional art has long been a part of the local culture, the modern street art scene is a growing way for the youth to express their contemporary Tanzanian identity. Our workshops aim to tap into this local spirit, giving Mbeya’s secondary students a platform to blend global graffiti techniques with their own regional stories. ✨

Fun fact: Mbeya is often called the "Green City" because of its lush vegetation and fertile soil—did you know that the surrounding hills provide some of the best coffee in the world? Use that natural vibrancy as inspiration for your next mural! ☕🎨
