Berlin is as known as internationally of its street art that is packed with visual images, colorful graphics and countless event posters on every corner. Street art is not only a special kind of art, but also combines the expression of one's own opinions, criticisms and reflections on society, politics, economics and visual youth culture. Nowadays, Street Art has long since transferred in the design of advertising, graphic and product design. Street art is part of their life world and, of course, belongs to the city scape. Although Graffiti and Street Art are present everywhere in Berlin, many Berlin children often do not know the political and historical dimension of this art form.

This project Offers three different workshops for children and teenagers in the district of Pankow: the workshop "Street Art Mapping", "My City as a Playground" and "Cutting-Spraying-Painting". Through the workshops, the children not only learn the story and concept of street art, but also actively express their own thoughts about their everyday life, school, district or city with the art form of street art. After the workshops there will be an open call for all children and teenagers between the ages of 5 and 12 in Paris, Brussels, Berlin and additionally in China, where the resulting Street Art works will be presented in a joint touring exhibition.

We want to prepare kids for their Street Art Submission to the Urban Arts International Competition! So we are offering 6 different workshops.

Each workshop will cost 30 Euro for a parent and a kid (together). All materials are included in the price.
