This workshop will be supervised by Roundhouse staff and the lead facilitator to ensure a safe, supportive environment for all participants. The VR components will be delivered entirely in an offline capacity, with no internet connectivity required. The session is specifically tailored for young people who are new to virtual reality or have only entry-level experience using VR equipment and the Kingspray graffiti app. While the focus is on virtual graffiti, no advanced artistic skills are required — just a willingness to explore and create in a fun, digital space.

Participants must be aged 15-17 years old to take part. All users should be in good general health, and those with medical conditions such as epilepsy, motion sensitivity, severe anxiety, or heart conditions must obtain a GP sign-off before participating. To maintain a high level of comfort and well-being, the session will include regular breaks throughout, allowing participants time to rest, hydrate, and reset. The environment and pacing are designed to prioritise participant safety, accessibility, and enjoyment.
