Why choose us in Lubumbashi?

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your youth project in Lubumbashi? Because we take "cool" and turn it into a valuable learning experience! Here’s why we’re the top choice for youth engagement:

  • Boosts confidence: Seeing a massive piece of art you helped create is a huge self-esteem builder for any teen! 💪
  • Teamwork makes the dream work: Our collaborative murals require communication and cooperation to look awesome.
  • Professional mentors: Our artists aren't just talented; they're great at connecting with young people and passing on their skills.
  • Zero risk: With our "pay after" policy and backup artist guarantee, your event is in safe hands. 🛡️
  • 100% Satisfaction: We don't stop until every participant is buzzing with pride over their work.

How it works

  1. The warm-up: We kick things off with a high-energy intro about the history of street art and how it evolved into a global movement.
  2. Safety briefing: Every participant gets kitted out in protective gear and learns the essential 'do's and don'ts' of spray painting.
  3. Mastering the nozzles: We teach the youth how to swap 'caps' to achieve thin lines, thick fills, and cool fading effects.
  4. Sketching the vision: Groups brainstorm their themes and sketch their ideas onto the wall or canvas using chalk or light paint.
  5. Fill-in frenzy: This is where the colour happens! The participants start filling in their designs under the guidance of our pros.
  6. The outline: We show them how to add sharp outlines to make their graffiti 'pop' and look truly professional.
  7. Highlights and details: Adding those final touches like 'shines', 'bubbles', or 'shadows' that give the artwork depth.
  8. The big reveal: We step back, admire the collaborative masterpiece, and take loads of photos for the gram!
  9. Cleanup and wrap-up: We pack up the gear, leaving only the beautiful art and some very inspired young artists behind.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant in Lubumbashi. Our professional artists lead with a 'safety-first' mindset, ensuring the spray cans are used correctly and the environment remains well-ventilated. We make sure everyone stays clean and safe while they focus on being creative and having a blast with their friends.

How long does a typical youth workshop last?

For our youth projects in Lubumbashi, we typically suggest a duration of 2 to 3 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tags' on practice walls, and then collaborate on a massive final masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to keep the energy high without anyone getting tired!

Where in Lubumbashi do the workshops take place?

We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop at a cool outdoor spot in Lubumbashi, or we can bring the entire mobile studio to your youth centre, school, or community space. As long as we have a bit of outdoor space or a very well-ventilated area, we can make the magic happen anywhere you are.

Do the kids need to have artistic talent?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to budding Picassos. Our expert artists break down the process into easy, manageable steps. By the end of the session, even the most hesitant participants are usually amazed by the professional-looking art they've managed to create.

What materials are included in the price?

Graffitifun provides everything! This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, various nozzle 'caps' for different effects, protective gear, and the canvases or boards we'll be painting on. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, some old clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, and your creative spirit.

How does the booking and payment process work?

We understand that youth project budgets can be tricky. That's why we don't require any payment upfront. You only pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy with the result. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining your event.

Can you accommodate large groups?

Our youth projects in the Copperbelt capital are ideal for groups. While we can cater to smaller groups of 10, we specialise in large-scale activations for up to 100+ participants. For very large groups, we bring in extra artists to ensure every young person gets the hands-on guidance they need to succeed.
