Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray cans are low-pressure and professional-grade, making them easier and safer to handle. Our experienced instructors supervise the entire process closely, ensuring that the students use the equipment correctly while having a blast in a controlled environment.
Do we need to travel, or can you come to our school?
We are highly flexible! We can host the workshop at various legal street art locations around Geneva, or we can bring the party to your school grounds using mobile wooden boards or canvases. If you choose to host it at your school, we take care of all the floor and wall protection to ensure your premises stay exactly as they were—just with some extra temporary art!
How long does a typical school session last?
Our school workshops in Geneva usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This provides the perfect balance of theory, practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. This timeframe fits neatly into a standard school morning or afternoon session, ensuring students stay fully engaged and excited from the first spray to the final tag.
What is the minimum age for students to participate?
Generally, we recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up (primary year 6 and secondary), as they have the physical coordination to handle the spray cans. However, we can adapt the programme for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or alternative techniques. Just let us know the age range of your class, and we will tailor the difficulty level accordingly.
Do the students need any prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists lead the group through the basics of font design, colour theory, and 'can control' before anyone touches a wall. We believe everyone has a creative spark; we are just here to help the students find it and feel confident expressing themselves through street art.
What should the students wear on the day?
Wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on! While we provide full protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy. It's best to leave the expensive designer trainers at home and wear something practical for a day of outdoor or gym-based creativity. We provide everything else, from paint to inspiration!
