Why choose us in Addis Ababa?

  • Breaking the hierarchy: Graffiti is a great equalizer, allowing leaders and employees to work side-by-side on a level playing field.
  • Real-time problem solving: Unlike a PowerPoint, a mural requires instant feedback and adaptation when things don't go as planned.
  • Visualizing the vision: Create a tangible, large-scale representation of your company’s future goals that your team can keep.
  • Enhanced communication: The collaborative nature of street art forces team members to listen, negotiate, and align their efforts.
  • Reliable partnership: With years of experience and backup artists ready, we guarantee your event in Addis will be a success.
  • Local expertise: We know Addis Ababa inside and out, providing the best locations and a culturally relevant experience.

How it works

  1. Initial briefing: We start with a quick session on the history of street art and how it relates to modern leadership and communication.
  2. Idea brainstorming: Your team works together to brainstorm a theme or a 'vision' that represents your company's values or goals.
  3. Technical training: Our artists teach the basics of spray painting, covering lines, filling, and different nozzle techniques.
  4. The outline phase: Leaders take charge of the initial sketch on the large-scale canvas or wall, delegating tasks to their team members.
  5. Collaborative painting: Everyone gets involved in the painting process, requiring constant communication and adjustment as the piece evolves.
  6. Problem-solving: If something looks 'off', the team must collaborate to find a creative solution and fix the mural on the fly.
  7. The finishing touches: Adding highlights and sharp outlines to make the collaborative masterpiece pop.
  8. Debrief and reflection: We sit down as a group to discuss what the process revealed about leadership styles, team roles, and collective success.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a graffiti workshop for leadership development in Addis Ababa?

Leadership training in Addis Ababa shouldn't be boring! We combine professional coaching with the physical act of spray painting. It breaks down barriers, fosters creative thinking, and teaches your team how to 'think outside the box' while literally painting outside of one. Our professional artists guide you through every step, ensuring a safe and productive environment for all participants.

Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely no artistic experience is necessary. Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible for everyone, regardless of their background. In fact, many of the best leadership insights come from those who have never held a spray can before. Our team of skilled graffiti artists will provide all the technical guidance needed to create something amazing together.

Where in Addis Ababa do these leadership workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations in Addis Ababa. We can host the event at one of our dedicated street art spots, or we can bring the entire workshop to your office courtyard or a rented event space. We use protective materials to ensure the area stays clean, and we provide all the necessary gear for your team.

How long does a typical graffiti leadership session last?

A standard leadership training session typically lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. This allows enough time for an introductory briefing, skill-building exercises, the collaborative mural project, and a final debrief where we connect the artistic experience back to your specific leadership and team management goals.

What safety measures are in place during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our aerosol paints are used in well-ventilated areas. Additionally, our artists are trained to manage group dynamics safely, ensuring that the only thing you have to worry about is your team's creative output.

What happens if we need to cancel or change our booking?

We understand that plans can change. One of our biggest strengths is our reliability; we have a backup pool of professional artists to ensure your event never gets cancelled. Furthermore, we don't require upfront payments. You can settle the invoice after the workshop is completed, giving you total peace of mind.
