How it works
- Introduction & history: We kick off with an energetic talk about graffiti culture, moving from its roots in NYC to the vibrant street art scenes found across Algeria today.
- Safety briefing: Students get kitted out in their protective gear while we explain the proper way to handle spray cans and the importance of using masks.
- The 'No Vandalism' talk: A vital part of the day where we discuss the ethics of street art and the importance of respecting public and private property.
- Sketching the vision: Before touching the cans, students grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their designs and learn about 'tags', 'throw-ups', and 'pieces'.
- Can control basics: Our pros demonstrate how to hold the can, control pressure, and create different line widths—the fundamental skills of a street artist.
- The big outline: It’s time! Students step up to the boards and start mapping out their designs under the guidance of our expert instructors.
- Filling & fading: This is where the magic happens. We teach students how to blend colours and create those iconic gradients and shadows that make graffiti pop.
- Final touches & highlights: We add the 'shine' and sharp outlines to finish the pieces, making sure every student's work looks professional and polished.
- Photo op & cleanup: We celebrate the creativity with a group photo of the finished gallery before tidying up the space completely.

Pricing
Our school workshops are tailored to your specific needs, whether it's a one-off taster session or a massive collaborative mural project. Because every school in Setif has different requirements, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Factors like the number of students, the duration of the event, and the materials used all play a part.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always conduct school workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our professional artists are experienced in managing groups of children and teenagers, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having an absolute blast expressing themselves.
Does this encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?
Absolutely not! We teach graffiti as a disciplined form of contemporary art. We start every session with a talk about the history of street art and the clear distinction between illegal vandalism and legal, commissioned artwork. Our goal is to provide a positive, creative outlet that encourages students to respect public spaces while finding their own unique artistic voice.
How long does a typical school workshop last in Setif?
We recommend a duration of 2 to 3 hours for the best experience. This allows enough time for the introductory talk, safety briefing, sketching techniques, and the actual painting process. However, we can adapt the schedule to fit your school's timetable, whether you want a short double-period taster or a full-day intensive art residency for your students.
What materials do we need to provide?
We bring everything! Graffitifun provides professional-grade spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the 'canvas' (which could be large plastic film, wooden boards, or even a permanent school wall if you have permission). All we need from the school is an outdoor space and a group of excited students ready to learn!
Do students need prior art experience to participate?
Graffiti is surprisingly accessible! While it helps to have an interest in art, no previous drawing skills are required. Our artists use a step-by-step method that helps even the most 'un-artistic' students create something they are proud of. It’s a fantastic way to build confidence in pupils who might struggle with traditional classroom subjects or fine-motor skills.
Where in Setif do the workshops take place?
Everywhere in Setif! We are fully mobile and can set up on your school playground, sports field, or in a large hall with proper ventilation. If your school doesn't have a suitable space, just let us know. We can often help find a local outdoor location where students can work safely and freely on their masterpieces.
