Why choose us in Mbuji-Mayi?
Why choose a graffiti workshop for your students in Mbuji-Mayi? It is about more than just "making a mess"—it is about creative empowerment! 🚀 Here is why schools love working with Graffitifun:
- Boost Confidence: Many students who struggle in traditional subjects find their voice through the bold, expressive nature of street art.
- Teamwork in Action: Creating a massive mural requires communication, planning, and supporting one another—skills they'll use forever. 💪

- Professional Mentorship: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are working creatives who inspire students with their real-world skills.
How it works
- Introduction & Safety: Our pro artists introduce the history of street art and go over the essential safety rules for using spray cans.
- Idea Brainstorming: Students work together to pick a theme, whether it is school spirit, local Mbuji-Mayi culture, or a social message.
- Tagging Basics: Every student learns how to design their own 'tag' or nickname using markers on paper first.
- Can Control: We head to the boards where students learn 'nozzle control'—practising lines, dots, and fades with the spray cans.
- Outline & Fill: The main artwork begins! Students fill in the large shapes of the mural or their individual canvases.
- Adding Detail: We teach techniques for highlights, shadows, and '3D effects' to make the artwork really pop off the wall.
- The Masterpiece Reveal: The final outlines are added to clean up the edges, and the group takes a step back to admire their hard work.
- Photo Op & Cleanup: We take group photos with the art and pack up all the gear, leaving your school site as clean as we found it!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and our professional artists supervise every second of the workshop in Mbuji-Mayi. We use low-odour professional spray paint and ensure workshops are held in well-ventilated areas. Our instructors are trained to manage large school groups, ensuring everyone stays safe while having the time of their lives making art.
What is the minimum age for participants?
We typically recommend our workshops for students aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the motor skills to handle the spray cans and the focus to follow the artistic instructions. However, we can adapt our sessions for younger primary school children using markers and water-based paints. Whether it is a primary school in the Dibindi commune or a secondary college, we tailor the complexity to the age group.
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop in Mbuji-Mayi usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This includes the safety briefing, sketching, technique practice, and the final creation of the mural or canvases. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we are happy to adjust the duration or split the session to fit your morning or afternoon classes perfectly.
Do we come to you, or do you have a studio?
We are incredibly flexible! We can bring the entire 'street art studio' to your school premises—whether that is the playground, a gym, or a car park. If you prefer to get the students out of the classroom, we can often arrange a session at a vibrant local spot or a dedicated art space. Just let us know your preference when you book your Mbuji-Mayi session.
What materials do we need to provide?
Everything is included! When you book a Graffitifun workshop for your school, we provide all the professional spray paint, protective clothing (overalls, gloves, and masks), and the surfaces to paint on (whether it is a shared mural or individual canvases for students to take home). There are zero hidden costs—just bring your energy and some old clothes you don't mind getting dusty!
How does the payment process work for schools?
We understand how school budgets and planning work, so we do not require upfront payments. You can settle the invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed. This gives you peace of mind that you only pay for a service you are 100% happy with. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event never gets cancelled due to illness.
Can you accommodate large groups of over 50 students?
Art is a fantastic way to handle big groups! We can facilitate sessions for small classes of 15 or large year groups of over 100 students. For larger groups, we simply bring more professional artists to ensure every student gets personal guidance. We split the group into smaller 'crews' so everyone stays active and engaged throughout the entire creative process.
