Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated graffiti zones in Mechelen. Our instructors are professional artists who are experienced in managing large groups of teenagers safely and respectfully.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard workshop for secondary schools lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for a deep dive into the culture, a thorough technique briefing, and enough 'can-time' for everyone to finish their masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into a specific school period or a larger 'sport and culture' day schedule in Mechelen.

Where in Mechelen do the workshops take place?

We usually come to your school premises in Mechelen if there is a suitable outdoor wall or open space. If that’s not possible, we can arrange for the workshop to take place at a legal street art spot in the city. We are flexible and will work with you to find the most convenient location for your students and staff.

What is the ideal group size for a school workshop?

We recommend a minimum group size of 10 students, but we can accommodate very large year groups of up to 100+ students by bringing in a team of backup artists. This ensures every student gets personal guidance and plenty of space to spray. For larger groups, we often work on big collective murals which looks incredible.

Do we need to provide any materials?

Nothing at all! We provide everything: hundreds of spray cans in every colour of the rainbow, caps, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (which could be plastic wrap, wooden boards, or a legal wall). Just make sure the students wear old clothes and shoes—even with overalls, a stray splash of paint is always a possibility when teenagers get creative!

What kind of projects do the students work on?

For secondary schools, the most popular option is a combination of individual practice and a large group project. This allows students to develop their own 'tag' or style while also learning the value of collaboration on a large-scale mural. It’s a fantastic way to build team spirit and leave a lasting (or temporary) artistic mark on the day.

Local culture

Mechelen might be famous for the St. Rumbold's Tower and its quaint medieval streets, but there is a thriving underground creative pulse here too. By bringing a graffiti workshop to your school, you are connecting your students with the "Mechelen Muurt" tradition—the local street art project that has transformed dull walls into stunning urban galleries across the city. We love working in Mechelen because the students here have a unique blend of respect for tradition and a hunger for modern creativity.

Fun Fact: Mechelen is home to some incredible murals by world-renowned artists like Gijs Vanhee. Our workshops often take inspiration from these local legends to show students that art isn't just in a museum—it's on their own streets! 🎨

Pricing

We believe high-quality creative education should be accessible. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden costs and no upfront payment required.

Investment: €25 - €55 per person

Please note that the final price depends on the total number of participants, the duration of the session, and the choice of materials (e.g., individual canvases vs. a collaborative mural). We offer special discounts for large school groups in Mechelen!
