Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! Our Antwerp teacher training is designed for all skill levels. Whether you are a seasoned art teacher or haven't picked up a spray can since school, we teach you the fundamentals from the ground up. We focus on the 'low threshold' approach, ensuring you feel confident enough to demonstrate basic strokes and safety protocols to your students without needing to be an established graffiti artist yourself.

What safety equipment is provided and taught?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. During the workshop, we specifically cover how to set up a safe outdoor workspace for your students, how to handle aerosol cans responsibly, and the importance of proper ventilation. You will leave the session with a clear safety checklist that you can implement in your own Antwerp school environment.

Are there any digital resources included for my lesson plans?

We provide a comprehensive digital toolkit for every participant. This includes a theoretical guide on the history and culture of street art, a technical manual on spray techniques, and pre-made lesson plans for different age groups. These resources are designed to be 'plug and play,' allowing you to integrate graffiti into your Antwerp curriculum immediately without having to spend hours on lesson prep.

Can the training take place at our own school in Antwerp?

We are incredibly flexible with locations. We have access to several legal graffiti zones and professional studios across Antwerp, but we can also come to your school if you have a suitable outdoor space. If you choose a school location, we’ll perform a quick site survey to ensure it’s safe and practical for a spray painting session with your staff.

How long does a professional development session last?

Our standard teacher professional development sessions typically last around 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time to cover the history of the movement, master the technical handling of the cans, and complete a collaborative mural. However, we can also offer full-day intensives if your department wants to dive deeper into advanced techniques like multi-layered stenciling or character design.

What happens if the trainer is unavailable on the day?

Yes, we have a robust team of professional artists across Belgium. This means we have backup instructors ready to step in should your primary trainer fall ill. We understand how important scheduled professional development days are for Antwerp schools, so we ensure that your session will go ahead as planned, giving you total peace of mind when booking.

How does the payment process work for schools?

Our pricing is transparent and depends on the size of your teaching group. Generally, costs range between €25 and €55 per person. This covers all materials, protective gear, and the expert instruction. The best part? You don't have to pay anything upfront. We trust our clients and only invoice you after the workshop is successfully completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience.

Local culture

Antwerp is a city that truly breathes street art. From the world-famous murals in the Berchem district to the legal painting zones near the Oosterweel works, the city serves as a living gallery. Our training sessions often take inspiration from local Antwerp legends and the specific 'Antwerp style' of bold, graphic storytelling found in the city's alleyways. We encourage teachers to explore the Street Art Antwerp app alongside our training, helping you connect your classroom projects to the very walls your students pass on their way to school. By training here, you aren't just learning a technique; you are becoming part of a local cultural movement that spans from the Scheldt to the Sportpaleis.

Pricing

Our training sessions are competitively priced to fit school budgets across Flanders. Prices typically range from €25 to €55 per person, depending on your group size and the specific materials required.

Note: We operate on a 'satisfaction first' basis – no upfront payment is required. You only pay after the training is complete.
