Do the teenagers need to have any previous drawing skills?

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed to join our youth projects in Goma. Our professional graffiti artists are experts at breaking down complex mural techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We focus on building confidence and having fun. Every participant will walk away feeling like a pro, having contributed to a massive, colourful piece of art they can be proud of. It is all about the journey of creation!

Is the spray paint safe for young people to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep everyone’s clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for quality, and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large open areas. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring that the only thing 'dangerous' about the day is how cool the final artwork looks!

Where in Goma do these workshops usually take place?

We are totally mobile! We can bring the workshop to your community centre, school grounds, or a local sports field in Goma. If you don't have a space, we can help find a suitable local spot that allows for legal street art. We bring all the boards and materials, so we essentially set up a pop-up art studio wherever you need us to be.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard youth project workshops usually run for about 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, technique practice, and the completion of a large-scale mural. However, we can also offer multi-day programmes for more intensive community projects or festivals. We are flexible and can tailor the duration to fit your specific event schedule or educational goals.

What is the ideal age range for these youth projects?

We generally recommend our youth workshops for ages 10 and up. This is because the spray cans require a bit of finger strength and a level of focus to follow the safety instructions. For younger groups, we can adapt the session with specialized caps or different artistic tools. It’s a fantastic way for teens to express themselves in a language that resonates with modern youth culture.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all the premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, various nozzle types (caps) for different effects, protective clothing, and the 'canvas' (usually large wooden panels or a designated wall). We even bring the inspiration! Participants just need to show up in old clothes and comfortable shoes, ready to get their hands a little bit 'arty'. We handle the entire setup and clean-up.

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Graffiti is a powerful tool for community building. Our Goma youth projects encourage teamwork as participants must communicate to create a cohesive mural. It boosts self-esteem, provides a safe outlet for emotional expression, and teaches the importance of respecting public spaces by focusing on legal, creative 'street art' rather than vandalism. Plus, it is a great way to develop fine motor skills and spatial awareness while having a blast.

Mastering the can: Our artists demonstrate different spray techniques, from thin lines to 'fading' and filling large areas.

Local culture

Goma is a city of incredible resilience and vibrant culture, nestled beautifully on the shores of Lake Kivu. In a place where music and dance are the heartbeats of the streets, graffiti offers a fresh, visual rhythm for the youth to explore. Our workshops take inspiration from the colourful 'Tshukudu' spirit—original, hardworking, and uniquely Goma! We love tapping into the local energy that makes this city so special.

Fun Fact: Did you know Goma is often called the 'tourist capital' of the region? The mix of international influences and deep-rooted Congolese traditions makes it the perfect canvas for creative street art that merges global styles with local Congolese stories! 🌍

Our projects aren't just about painting; they are about celebrating the identity of Goma’s youth, giving them a voice that can be seen from blocks away. We also operate in other major hubs like Kinshasa and Lubumbashi, bringing the street art revolution to every corner of the DR Congo.

Pricing

Our graffiti youth projects are designed to be accessible and high-impact. Pricing in Goma typically ranges from:

FC50,000 – FC120,000 per person

Note: Final rates depend on the total group size, the amount of paint required, and the specific setup (e.g., permanent wall vs. temporary boards). We offer special discounts for NGOs and community-focused youth organisations!
