Do I need to have previous graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely no prior experience with spray paint is required for our teacher training. We designed this course specifically for educators who might be experts in traditional media but are new to the aerosol world. We start with the basics of can control and safety, ensuring you feel confident and capable before we move on to the more complex artistic techniques. Our goal is to empower you to lead your own students with confidence.

What safety protocols will I learn during the session?

We take safety extremely seriously, especially when it's in a school environment. During the training, we'll cover the proper use of high-quality respirators, ventilation requirements, and skin protection. We also discuss how to set up a safe outdoor workspace for your students and how to manage the group to ensure everyone stays safe while having a blast with the spray cans. Safety is the foundation of every workshop we lead.

Do you provide advice on sourcing materials for my own classes?

Unlike traditional art supplies, graffiti involves specific logistics. We provide you with a comprehensive guide on where to source affordable, high-quality spray paint in Colombia, which nozzles (caps) are best for beginners, and how to manage your inventory. We also talk about the best types of surfaces for student practice, from temporary plywood walls to legal 'halls of fame' across Barranquilla, helping you plan sustainable future projects.

Will I receive a certificate or accreditation after the workshop?

Yes, every participant receives a professional certificate of completion from Graffitifun. This document outlines the hours spent and the specific skills mastered, including aerosol techniques, history, and safety management. It serves as excellent proof of professional development for your portfolio or for your school administration, showing that you've expanded your pedagogical toolkit with a modern, high-engagement urban art specialty.

What should I bring with me to the training day?

While we provide all the professional-grade spray paint, masks, and gloves for the day, we recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. Aerosol dust can travel, and even with our protective gear, it's better to be safe. We also suggest bringing a notebook if you'd like to jot down specific technical tips or lesson plan ideas as we go through the practical sessions.

Is there a theoretical or curriculum-focused part of the training?

Definitely! We don't just teach you how to paint; we teach you how to teach it. A significant portion of the session is dedicated to curriculum integration. We explore how graffiti can be used to teach colour theory, typography, social history, and even community activism. You'll walk away with several adaptable lesson plan frameworks that you can immediately apply to different age groups and educational settings.

Local culture

Barranquilla is a city that breathes rhythm and colour, famously known for its Carnival, but its streets are also becoming a massive open-air gallery. From the industrial murals near the Magdalena River to the hidden gems in the northern suburbs, the city's street art scene is exploding with Caribbean flair. By taking your teacher training here, you're tapping into a local culture that celebrates public expression and vibrant storytelling. We often draw inspiration from the tropical palettes and festive themes found in local "Barranquillero" murals, helping you connect your teaching directly to the city's unique soulful identity. It’s about more than just paint; it’s about capturing the spirit of the Atlantic coast.

Pricing

Our professional development sessions are priced competitively to ensure schools and independent educators can access high-quality training. Prices typically range from $100,000 to $250,000 COP per person, depending on the number of participants and the specific materials included.

Because every school's needs are different—from a quick afternoon workshop to a multi-day intensive—we recommend getting in touch for a tailored proposal. Request a custom quote today to get a precise breakdown for your team.
