Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority during every school session in Mombasa. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are selected for their safety profile, and our instructors are trained to manage large groups effectively, ensuring everyone follows the safety protocols while having a blast. It’s a controlled, professional environment where students can explore their creativity without any risks.

Can you host the workshop at our school premises?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you want us to bring the 'street' to your school courtyard or prefer a dedicated creative space in Mombasa, we can make it happen. Most schools prefer us to come to them to save on transport costs. All we need is an outdoor area or a very well-ventilated space, and we’ll take care of the rest, including floor protection.

How long does a typical school workshop session last?

Our standard school workshops usually run for about 2 hours, which is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and finishing a masterpiece. However, we can adapt this to fit your school's timetable, ranging from intensive 1.5-hour sessions to full-day creative residencies. We work around your bells and break times!

Do students need prior drawing or art experience?

Not at all—that’s the beauty of it! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with basic lines and shapes, so even students who think they aren't 'artistic' end up creating something they are proud of. It’s a great confidence builder for kids who might struggle with traditional classroom subjects but shine in a hands-on, expressive environment.

What materials do we need to provide?

We’ve got it covered! Graffitifun provides everything: premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear, caps, and the 'canvases' (which can be boards, plastic wrap walls, or even a permanent school wall if allowed). You just need to make sure the students wear old clothes and shoes—just in case a little bit of 'character' ends up on their trainers!

Does the workshop include an educational/theoretical component?

Yes, we do! While we focus on the art, our artists naturally weave in the history of the movement and the distinction between illegal vandalism and legal street art. It’s a fantastic way to teach students about respect for public property and the importance of finding positive, legal outlets for their self-expression. Many teachers find this the most valuable part of the day.

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You don't need to pay anything upfront! Simply reach out via our contact form to request a quote based on your student numbers. Once we find a date that works for your school calendar, we'll lock it in. Our backup artist system ensures that your workshop will go ahead no matter what. Let's get your students spraying!

Lokal kultur

Mombasa is a city where tradition meets modern urban vibes, making it the perfect backdrop for a street art explosion! From the intricate carvings of the Swahili doors to the bustling markets, there is inspiration around every corner. While Mombasa is world-famous for its historic sites like Fort Jesus, there is a growing appreciation for contemporary art that reflects the pulse of the youth. By bringing a graffiti workshop to your school, you're tapping into this energetic culture, allowing students to connect with the modern aesthetic of their city. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that the famous giant tusks on Moi Avenue are a symbol of the city's entrance? Just like those iconic tusks, graffiti letters are all about scale and making a big impression!
