What we do

Urban art as part of the school day

Founded in 2013, Battle of Schools is a non-commercial initiative that offers graffiti tuition inside the regular school curriculum, sells no products and charges no fees.

Graffiti classes

Weekly courses, after-school clubs and project weeks in Berlin schools – from primary level to sixth form. All materials are provided.

Championships & Finals

The official school championship in urban arts: a multi-stage selection process ending in a public final with a live audience.

International exchange

Funded youth exchange programmes take our students and artists from Africa to Asia, from Mongolia to Costa Rica – and bring partner classes to Berlin.
