At Street Designers, we believe that a wall is not just a surface: it is a space for dialogue, creativity and imagination for our children.

It is for this reason that we support schools in the design of collaborative murals, created hand-in-hand with pupils, teaching teams and teachers.

Our approach is based on a multi-stage process: we co-create the mock-up with the pupils in the classroom, then we paint it together, on a wall or on the ground in the playground.

Children are not mere “participants”. They become authors, co-creators, decision-makers.

Theme, style, colours, messages, imagery, etc. Everything is worked on together, within the framework of workshops tailored to each age group. Our young dreamers are full of imagination; let's spice up their everyday lives with pretty wall decorations.

Floor murals and fun trails: art that encourages you to move

Some of our achievements include what is known as active design: a playful way of painting artistic geometric and figurative shapes on the ground to encourage sports activity, movement, and play among young people.

These floor murals allow for the creation of artistic movement trails, creative hopscotch games, and educational markings that encourage physical activity without the participants even realising it.

These visual creations are developed in co-creation with the artist and the children, and are adapted to the context of each establishment.

We operate in schools, colleges, leisure centers, community centres, and specialised facilities, all across France.

Some figures: according to the WHO, one in five children in France is currently overweight, and only 30% of children under the age of 18 meet the physical activity guidelines.

Faced with this observation, active design becomes a simple and essential tool for encouraging movement at school and adding an artistic dimension to the playground or the school entrance.

At Street Designers, we bring places to life and, above all, spark our children’s imagination.
