How it works

  1. Intro & inspiration: Our professional graffiti artists arrive at your school in Kananga and kick things off with a high-energy intro about street art culture.
  2. Safety first: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear (masks, gloves, and overalls) while we explain the 'golden rules' of using spray cans.
  3. Sketching the vision: Students grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their tags and designs, learning how to turn ideas into bold graffiti letters.
  4. Can control 101: We move to the wall! Students practice basic lines, dots, and pressure control to get a feel for the spray cans.
  5. The big fill: Once the outlines are ready on the main mural, the group works together to fill in the vibrant colours and gradients.
  6. Outlining & details: This is where the art pops! We teach students how to add sharp outlines and high-contrast highlights.
  7. The finishing touch: Adding shadows, 3D effects, and "style bits" (like bubbles or arrows) to give the mural that professional 'street' look.
  8. Group photo & reveal: We step back to admire the collective masterpiece and snap some epic photos of the crew with their work.
  9. Clean up: We handle all the site clearance, leaving nothing behind but an incredible piece of art and some very happy students.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

The safety of your students is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our artists lead with a 'safety-first' briefing, ensuring everyone understands how to use the equipment responsibly. We only use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas, making it a secure and controlled environment for teenagers to explore their creativity without any risks.

Do students need prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Whether a student is a natural-born illustrator or has never held a spray can before, our professional artists provide step-by-step guidance. We focus on techniques like 'filling', 'outlining', and 'shadowing' that anyone can master. Most students are shocked by the high-quality masterpiece they manage to create by the end of the session!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop in Kananga typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This provides enough time for the initial safety briefing, sketching designs, practicing techniques on practice walls, and then completing the final large-scale group mural. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period blocks if required.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We bring everything needed for a world-class street art experience! This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, protective clothing (aprons/overalls, gloves, and masks), and the surfaces to paint on. We can set up mobile cellophane walls, use large wooden panels, or even paint a permanent wall on your school grounds if you have the proper permissions gathered.

Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?

Absolutely! Graffiti is a brilliant way to explore specific educational themes. We can focus the workshop on topics like environmental awareness, local Congolese history, teamwork, or school values. The students will brainstorm how to represent these concepts visually before painting them, making it a powerful cross-curricular activity that blends art with social studies or personal development.

What is the ideal group size for a school workshop?

We are very flexible with group sizes! We can work with a single class of 20-30 students or run rotational sessions throughout the day for an entire year group. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists from our backup pool to ensure every student gets plenty of individual attention and hands-on painting time. No one is left standing on the sidelines!

How does the payment process work for schools?

We understand that school budgets require planning. We don't require any upfront payment to secure your booking. You can settle the invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed and your students are buzzing with excitement. This 'pay later' policy is part of our commitment to 100% satisfaction and building trust with educational institutions in the Kasaï-Central region.
