Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional instructors in Malmö are trained to manage student groups safely, ensuring that the spray paint stays on the wall and not on the kids. We use professional-grade paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art spaces to ensure a healthy environment for everyone.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
The ideal duration for a school workshop in Malmö is between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic spray techniques, and allow every student to complete their own masterpiece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into your specific school timetable or combine multiple classes throughout a single school day.
Do we need to travel, or can you come to our school?
We can be very flexible! We can host the workshop at a dedicated street art location in Malmö, such as near the famous legal walls, or we can bring the entire setup directly to your school playground. We use mobile wooden panels or plastic film stretches to create temporary 'walls,' so your school property remains clean while the students get to experience the thrill of painting.
What is the minimum age for students to participate?
Our workshops are designed for students aged 8 and up. We adjust our teaching style based on the age group; younger children focus more on colour and fun shapes, while teenagers often want to learn technical skills like 3D shadowing and complex lettering. It’s a fantastic way to engage students who might usually struggle with traditional classroom-based art lessons.
Do the students need any prior drawing or painting skills?
Not at all! Our expert artists guide the students through every single step. We start with simple lines and shapes, so even those who think they aren't 'artistic' end up creating something they are proud of. It’s all about boosting confidence and showing that art is for everyone, regardless of their previous experience or technical skill level.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
We've got you covered. In the event of typical Malmö drizzle, we can often work under shelters or move the session to a suitable indoor space using low-odour water-based spray paints. We also have a large team of backup artists available, so your booking is secure even if an instructor falls ill. We pride ourselves on never letting a school down!
What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?
Graffiti is a brilliant tool for teaching teamwork, respecting public space (legal vs. illegal art), and creative problem-solving. It encourages students to think big and work on a large scale, which is a great boost for their spatial awareness. Many Malmö schools use our workshops to decorate shared spaces or as part of a 'cultural week' to celebrate diversity and expression.
