Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is needed to join our Adama training. Whether you are a traditional fine arts teacher or someone who has never touched a spray can, we start from the absolute basics. Our professional artists guide you through safety, nozzle control, and basic lettering before moving into advanced mural concepts. You will gain the confidence to teach these skills to your students regardless of your current artistic background.

What safety measures do you teach for the classroom?

We take safety very seriously in our workshops. We provide all necessary protective equipment, including high-quality FFP2 masks and gloves, which are essential for any school-based art project. During the training, we also teach you how to properly ventilate a workspace and manage groups of students safely around aerosol paint. You will leave the session with a full understanding of the safety protocols required for the Ethiopian classroom environment.

Can the teacher training be held at our school?

Yes, we can definitely travel to your specific school or community center in Adama or surrounding areas. While we have dedicated creative spots where we usually host sessions, we understand that professional development is often easier on-site. As long as you have a suitable outdoor wall or wooden boards and a well-ventilated space, our team will bring all the spray cans and materials directly to your location for the training.

Are materials like spray cans and masks included?

Graffitifun provides everything you need for the session. This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colors, different types of nozzles (caps), protective gear like masks and gloves, and sketching materials. We also provide the canvases or practice walls. You just need to wear old clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. We make sure you have the best tools to learn the craft effectively.

How long does a professional development session last?

A standard professional development session usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover both the theoretical side of street art culture and the practical 'hands-on' application of paint. For schools or institutions looking for a more in-depth certification, we can also arrange full-day intensives or multi-day workshops that dive deeper into curriculum integration and large-scale mural planning. We are flexible to fit your schedule.

How will this help me in my daily teaching?

Our training is designed to be highly practical. You will learn specific lesson plans that align with creative thinking and collaboration. Beyond just 'making art,' we show you how to use graffiti to teach color theory, typography, and social history. You will be able to lead your students in creating collaborative murals that beautify your school grounds, fostering a sense of pride and ownership among the youth in the Adama community.

What is your cancellation and payment policy?

We understand that schedules can change. Graffitifun offers a flexible booking policy where no upfront payment is required to secure your date. You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. If something comes up and you need to reschedule your training session in Adama, just let us know as soon as possible. We also have backup artists available to ensure your session never gets cancelled from our side.
