Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students? finishing touch?
Absolutely. We prioritise the well-being of your students above all else. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and only use sprays that meet strict health and safety standards. Each workshop begins with a comprehensive safety briefing to ensure everyone understands how to use the equipment responsibly, making it a worry-free experience for teachers and parents alike.
Do we need a specific type of space at our school?
Ideally, we recommend outdoor spaces with good ventilation for the best experience. However, if Aalborg's weather isn't cooperating, we can set up in large, well-ventilated indoor halls using low-odour paints or specialised surfaces. If your school doesn't have a suitable spot, we can often suggest local legal graffiti walls or alternative venues in the city to host your creative session.
Do the students need to have any artistic experience?
No prior artistic skill is required at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps that allow every student—from the naturally gifted to the complete beginner—to create something they are proud of. It’s more about expression, teamwork, and trying something new than perfect technical execution.
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard educational graffiti workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for an introduction to street art history, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of the mural or individual boards. We can also adapt the duration to fit into your school’s specific timetable if you have shorter lesson blocks.
What materials do we need to provide?
We pride ourselves on being fully equipped. Graffitifun provides all the necessary spray cans in a wide variety of colours, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surfaces for painting (such as large plastic canvases or wooden boards). Your school only needs to provide the space and the enthusiastic students; we take care of all the logistics and cleanup afterwards.
How does this workshop help with student team building?
Graffiti is a fantastic tool for teaching collaboration and communication. During our school workshops, students often work together on a large-scale mural, requiring them to negotiate space, share ideas, and synchronise their styles. This shared goal helps build trust and strengthens peer relationships, making it an excellent team-building exercise that lasts long after the paint has dried.
What happens if we need to cancel or change our booking?
We understand that school budgets and numbers change. That is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy and never require upfront payments. If you need to adjust your group size or reschedule, just let us know. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned, providing total peace of mind for school administrators.
