Why choose us in Bern?

Choosing an anti-vandalism program isn't just about paint; it's about social responsibility and community building. Here is why our workshops are the right choice for Bern:

  • Education over Prohibition: We teach the "why" behind legal art, which is more effective than just saying "don't do it."
  • Professional Mentors: Participants learn from real artists who have carved out successful, legal careers.
  • Positive Engagement: We turn potential vandals into community artists, boosting their self-esteem and skills.
  • Zero Cancellations: With our network of artists, your event in Bern is guaranteed to go ahead as planned.
  • Cost-Effective: Our programs are often cheaper than the long-term cost of cleaning up illegal graffiti.
  • Customisable Content: From kids parties to school projects, we adapt the message to your audience.

How it works

  1. Introduction & Ethics: We start with an informal chat about the difference between illegal vandalism and the professional world of street art.
  2. Safety Briefing: Everyone gets fitted with protective gear and learns how to handle the spray cans safely.
  3. The Basics: Participants learn their first lines, dots, and how to control paint flow on practice boards.
  4. Sketching: We brainstorm a central theme or message for the group mural that represents the local community.
  5. Outline Practice: Under the guidance of our artists, participants begin sketching the main shapes of their design.
  6. Filling & Colouring: This is the fun part! Everyone works together to bring the piece to life with vibrant colours.
  7. Fine Detailing: We show you how to add highlights, shadows, and clean outlines to make the artwork pop.
  8. Grand Reveal: The group steps back to admire their legal masterpiece and takes photos of their achievement.
  9. Wrap Up: A final discussion on how to continue pursuing graffiti legally in Bern's designated zones.

Frequently asked questions

Why should we choose Graffitifun for an anti-vandalism workshop in Bern?

Graffitifun is a professional workshop provider with years of experience across Europe. Our anti-vandalism programs in Bern are specifically designed to channel creative energy into legal outlets. We pride ourselves on reliability; we have backup artists available to ensure your event never gets cancelled, and we offer a 'pay-afterwards' policy to guarantee your complete satisfaction with the workshop results.

Is the workshop actually fun for the participants?

Absolutely! While these workshops have a structural goal of preventing illegal taggings, the core experience is about having fun and being creative. Participants get to use professional spray cans, learn complex techniques, and create a high-quality piece of art. It is an engaging, hands-on activity that feels like a reward rather than a lecture, making it perfect for youth groups and schools.

What safety measures do you take during the session?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists are trained in site safety and paint handling. We use premium sprays and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor area or a specifically designated legal graffiti zone within Bern.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard anti-vandalism programs typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for an introductory talk about street art history and legal boundaries, followed by technique practice and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can adjust the duration slightly to fit your specific schedule or school timetable if needed.

Do we need to provide any materials ourselves?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes a wide variety of spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, and the surfaces to paint on (unless we are painting a permanent wall on your property). You just need to show up in old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of dust on!

How much does an anti-vandalism workshop cost in Bern?

The price depends on your group size and the specific setup required. Generally, prices range from CHF40 to CHF85 per person. Because every project is unique—especially those involving community walls or large school groups—we recommend reaching out for a custom quote. Remember, you don't have to pay anything upfront; payment is only settled after the workshop is done.

How far in advance should we book a session?

Our workshops are very popular, so we recommend booking at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance, especially for sessions in Zurich, Basel, or Bern. However, thanks to our large team of professional artists and backup system, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Just drop us a message to check our current availability for your preferred date.
