Do we need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our university participants in Kolwezi have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the nozzle, manage pressure, and create clean lines. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've helped create. We focus on 'learning by doing' in an environment where there are no mistakes, only creative happy accidents. We guarantee you'll leave with a new skill and a smile.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for university students?

The health and safety of your students are our top priorities. We provide high-quality FFP2 masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. We also conduct our workshops in well-ventilated areas or outdoors to ensure proper airflow. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely, and we use premium spray paints that meet safety standards. You can focus on the creativity while we take care of all the technical safety details.

Where in Kolwezi does the workshop take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can bring the workshop directly to your campus in Kolwezi if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor hall. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at one of our local street art partner locations. Whether it's a car park, a sports field, or a dedicated studio, we adapt our setup to fit your logistics. Just let us know your preference when you book your session.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard university workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This includes the initial briefing, technique demonstrations, individual practice time, and the final group mural creation. We can also customise the duration to fit into a specific lecture block or event schedule. If you’re looking for a more intensive Masterclass, we can extend the session to include advanced layering and 3D effects. We work around your university timetable to make it happen.

How does this workshop help with student team building?

Street art is one of the most effective ways to build teamwork. Unlike traditional academic projects, graffiti requires physical coordination and shared visual goals. Students have to communicate constantly to ensure their 'piece' fits with their neighbour's work. It breaks down social barriers, encourages peer-to-peer coaching, and results in a giant mural that everyone contributed to equally. It’s a powerful metaphor for collaboration that students will remember much longer than a standard seminar or icebreaker.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

We’ve got you covered! Rain or shine, the creativity doesn't stop. If the weather in Kolwezi isn't playing ball, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation. We also have backup artists available for every booking, so even if there’s a last-minute emergency with an instructor, your event will proceed exactly as planned. Your peace of mind is part of the package when you book with Graffitifun.

Local culture

Kolwezi is a city defined by its incredible energy and transformation. While it's globally known as a mining powerhouse, the local youth culture is increasingly turning towards creative expression to tell its own story. Bringing a graffiti workshop here isn't just about painting; it's about tapping into that local 'can-do' spirit. We often see students drawing inspiration from the vibrant colours of the Congolese landscape and the bustling energy of the city's markets. 🇨🇩

Fun Fact: Did you know that the word 'graffiti' comes from the Italian word 'graffiato' (scratched)? In Kolwezi, we're not scratching surfaces; we're layering them with the bright future of Congo's next generation of thinkers and creators! ✨

Pricing

We believe high-quality creative experiences should be accessible for university groups. Our pricing is transparent and includes all the premium materials needed for a professional finish.

Estimated price range: FC50,000 - FC120,000 per person.

Please note that total costs vary based on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the specific location within Kolwezi. We offer special rates for large student organisations and recurring university events!
