Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority in Likasi. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep every participant safe from paint fumes and splashes. Our professional artists are trained in workshop safety management and supervise the youth at all times. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray cans specifically chosen to be as beginner-friendly as possible while ensuring a professional finish for the final masterpiece.

Does this encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?

Absolutely not! While we teach the techniques used by street artists, our summer camp programme focuses on 'legal' graffiti as an art form and a means of positive self-expression. We educate participants on the difference between vandalism and street art, encouraging them to use their skills in designated areas, on canvases, or for community projects. It is all about building confidence and creativity in a structured, legal, and respectful environment.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. Even though we provide full protective 'smurfs' (coveralls) and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or trainers! It is better to be safe and dress for a mess so the kids can focus entirely on their art without worrying about ruining their favourite outfits.

Do the kids need to have any artistic talent or experience?

Don't worry, no prior drawing or painting experience is needed! Our Likasi workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our instructors use a step-by-step method that breaks down complex techniques into simple, manageable tasks. By the end of the session, even those who thought they couldn't draw a straight line will be amazed at the vibrant artwork they have created.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard summer camp sessions usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high while allowing enough time to learn the techniques, practice on the practice wall, and complete a final group or individual piece. We can also adapt the duration for multi-day camps if you want a deeper dive into street art history and more advanced spray-painting methods.

Where in Likasi do the workshops take place?

We are totally mobile! We can bring the graffiti experience to your specific summer camp location in Likasi, or we can arrange a session at one of our local partner street art spots. All we need is a well-ventilated space or an outdoor area. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we have indoor solutions using special water-based paints or protective sheeting to ensure the fun continues regardless of the Congolese rain!

What is included in the price of the summer camp workshop?

We provide everything! The price includes professional spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, canvases or boards, masks, gloves, and protective suits. You just need to bring the energy and creativity. We also include the guidance of our professional graffiti artists who facilitate the entire session from start to finish, ensuring everyone goes home with a smile and a sense of achievement.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Likasi summer camp? It’s simple: no other activity combines physical movement, technical skill, and pure creative freedom quite like street art. It is the ultimate way to engage teenagers and children who might find traditional art classes a bit too 'tame'. 🎨✨

Boosts confidence: Seeing a massive piece of art you created yourself is a huge self-esteem booster for any young person. 💪
Team building: Our large-scale mural projects require communication and collaboration – perfect for camp bonding! 🤝
Skill development: From hand-eye coordination to colour theory, there is plenty of 'stealth learning' involved. 🧠
Total inclusivity: You don't need to be a 'pro' drawer; graffiti is about style and expression, meaning everyone can succeed. 🎤
Unforgettable memories: The photos and the artwork serve as a lasting reminder of an epic summer in Likasi. 🏆
Stress relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the 'hiss' of a spray can and the flow of the paint. 🔥

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a brief history of graffiti and show some jaw-dropping examples of local and international street art to get the creative juices flowing.
The tag creator: Before picking up a can, participants use our Tag Creator tool or sketchbooks to design their own unique artist name and 'tag' style.
Safety briefing: We suit up! Everyone gets their mask, gloves, and coveralls while we explain how to use the spray cans safely and effectively.
Nozzle knowledge: We teach the difference between 'fat caps' and 'skinny caps' and how to control paint flow and pressure for different effects.
Practice session: Kids head to the practice wall to get a feel for the spray cans, learning how to make lines, dots, and smooth colour gradients.
Outline & fill: Now for the real deal! Participants start their main project, laying down the outlines of their designs and filling them with vibrant colours.
The 'cut-back' technique: We show them how to sharpen their lines using background colours, a professional trick that makes the graffiti 'pop'.
Highlights & details: The final touches! Adding white flashes, 3D shadows, and intricate details that bring the artwork to life.
Photo op & wrap-up: We take group photos with the finished masterpieces, celebrate the hard work, and pack up – leaving only amazing memories behind!

Local culture

Likasi, the 'Turquoise City', has a vibrant energy that perfectly complements the bold nature of graffiti. While known for its mining heritage, the youth of Likasi are increasingly looking for modern ways to express their identity and local pride. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging kids to incorporate elements of Congolese culture and Likasi’s unique landscape into their designs. Whether we are setting up near the bustling city centre or in a quieter residential area, the local enthusiasm for street art is always infectious.

Fun Likasi Fact: Did you know that Likasi was formerly known as Jadotville? It has always been a hub of activity, and today, that energy is shifting from industry to the incredible creative potential of its young people! 🎨
