💼 What the programme involves
Come and learn the art of graffiti in the South of France! The small cities of Mazamet and Aussillon will welcome a group of international and local volunteers to bring colours to the walls of aging buildings. You will learn graffiti painting techniques and use your skills to paint a mural about local and international culture.
You will also help our partner organization Estancabra to organise a Hip Hop and Ragamuffin concert -all in traditional local Occitan language- during the project.
Art and culture lovers, this project is for you!
