Do the participants need to have any artistic skills?

You don't need any previous art experience to join our youth projects in Jijiga! Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the spray can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. Whether you are a total beginner or someone who loves to doodle, we provide a supportive environment where everyone can express themselves and learn something new. It is all about the process and having fun!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls, to ensure everyone stays clean and safe. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and we always conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces. Our instructors are also trained to supervise the group closely, ensuring that the cans are used responsibly and safely throughout the session.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A typical youth project workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to go through the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and then work together on a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We find this duration is perfect for keeping energy levels high while allowing enough time for everyone to finish their masterpiece without feeling rushed. We can also adjust the timing based on your specific project needs.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a wide range of vibrant colors, caps for different line thicknesses, protective clothing, and the surfaces we will be painting on (like large boards or a designated wall). You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, even though we provide overalls. We handle all the setup and the cleanup afterwards!

Can you host workshops in other cities besides Jijiga?

Absolutely! We love traveling across Ethiopia to bring street art to life. While we are currently focusing on Jijiga, we also organize workshops in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Mekelle, and Adama. No matter where your youth organization or community group is located, our mobile team of artists can bring the full graffiti experience right to your doorstep, complete with all the necessary equipment and artistic energy.

How do we book and when do we pay?

Booking is simple and risk-free with Graffitifun. You don't have to pay anything upfront! Once we agree on the date, location, and group size, your spot is reserved. Payment is only required after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This keeps things flexible for youth coordinators and community leaders who are managing budgets and schedules. Just reach out for a custom quote to start.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next youth project in Jijiga? It’s not just about art; it’s about transformation! Here is why our sessions are a hit:

Boosts Confidence: Seeing a giant mural come to life from their own hands gives young people a massive sense of achievement. 💪
Team Spirit: Collaboration is key in street art. Participants learn to communicate and work together to finish a unified piece.
Professional Guidance: Our artists aren't just talented; they are great mentors who know how to connect with the youth. 🎤
Authentic Expression: Graffiti is a medium that speaks the language of the younger generation—it's cool, edgy, and accessible.
Risk-Free Booking: With our backup artist guarantee and "pay later" policy, your event is in safe hands. 🏆

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick intro to street art culture and a safety demo on how to use the gear properly. 🎨
Design brainstorming: The group works together to come up with a theme or a "tag" that represents their community or message.
Learning the basics: Our pro artists show you how to handle the spray cans, from making thin lines to filling in large areas.
Sketching the mural: We hit the wall or boards to outline the main design, giving the project its structure and shape. 🔥
Adding the color: This is where the magic happens! Everyone grabs a can and starts bringing the design to life with vibrant layers.
Finessing the details: We teach you how to add highlights, shadows, and clean outlines to make the artwork really pop.
The big reveal: We step back, admire the collective masterpiece, and take plenty of photos for the gram! 📸
Clean up: Our team handles all the packing up, leaving the space tidy and your new artwork looking fresh.

Local culture

Jijiga is a city blooming with culture and trade, and adding a splash of modern street art to its landscape is a fantastic way to engage the local community. From the bustling markets to the heritage of the Somali Region, there is so much inspiration to draw from. We love incorporating local symbols and colors into our murals to make them truly authentic to the area. 🌍

Fun Fact: Did you know that Jijiga is known as a major gateway for trade? We believe that just as goods flow through the city, creativity should flow through its streets too! Working with youth groups near landmarks like the Sayid Mohammed Abdullah Hassan statue adds a special layer of local pride to every project we do. 🔥

Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing that fits the needs of community organizations and local groups. Our rates are flexible based on what you need!

Price range: Br1500 - Br3500 per person. 🎉
Included: All artist fees, materials, and travel within Jijiga.
No Hidden Fees: What we quote is what you pay.

Remember, the price depends on the number of participants and the scale of the mural you want to create. No upfront payment is required — you only pay once the workshop is successfully completed!
