Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join the training?

Absolutely not! Our Biel teacher training is specifically designed to take you from a complete novice to a confident instructor. We focus on teaching you the technical 'language' of spray cans, safety protocols, and pedagogical methods. You don't need to be an illustrator; you just need a willingness to learn a new medium. By the end of the session, you'll have the skills to guide your own students through their first mural project safely and successfully.

Is the workshop safe and are there health risks?

Yes, we take health and safety very seriously in Biel. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all participants with professional-grade FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves. During the training, we'll teach you exactly how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor workspace for your students. We also cover the legal aspects of street art to ensure you and your school always stay on the right side of local regulations.

How long does the teacher training session typically last?

Professional development sessions in Biel generally last between 2.5 to 5 hours, depending on how deep you want to dive into the theory versus the practical application. We can also arrange full-day intensives or split sessions over two days if you have a large faculty group. We are flexible and can work around your school's timetable or professional development days to find a slot that causes minimal disruption.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

While we usually suggest a minimum of 5-8 participants to make the group dynamics work well for peer learning, we can certainly accommodate smaller groups or even 1-on-1 private coaching for department heads. For larger schools in the Biel area, we can bring in multiple graffiti experts to ensure everyone gets hands-on time with the cans and plenty of individual feedback on their technique and lesson planning.

What materials are included in the training package?

We provide everything you need on the day: premium spray paint in a huge variety of colours, caps (nozzles), gloves, masks, protective suits, and the surfaces to paint on. We also provide digital resources like lesson plan templates and safety checklists that you can take back to your classroom. You just need to wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on (just in case!) and bring your creative energy.

When and how do we handle the payment?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexible booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date in Biel. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay via invoice after the training has been completed and you're 100% satisfied. If something unexpected happens and you need to reschedule, our backup artist network ensures we can almost always find a solution without a cancellation.

The experience

Choosing Graffitifun for your professional development in Biel means you're partnering with experts who understand both the art and the classroom. Here is why our training stands out:

Expert guidance: Learn from professional graffiti artists who have years of experience in both mural painting and public workshops.
Student engagement: Graffiti is a high-interest topic that can re-engage students who might find traditional art lessons uninspiring.
Comprehensive safety: We don't just teach you how to paint; we teach you how to manage a classroom safely with spray cans and fumes.
Cross-curricular potential: Discover how to link street art to history, social justice, typography, and even chemistry.
Zero-risk booking: With no upfront payment and our backup artist guarantee, your professional development day is in safe hands.
Local expertise: We know the Biel art scene and can help you navigate local regulations for school murals.

Step by step

Intro to street art history: We start with a brief, engaging overview of graffiti culture, moving from its roots to its status as a modern global art movement, giving you the context needed for classroom theory sessions.
Safety & workspace setup: Learn how to prepare a 'graffiti-safe' zone at your school, including proper ventilation, surface protection, and the correct way to wear and handle PPE.
Nozzle & pressure control: Get hands-on with different 'caps'. You'll learn how to control spray pressure to create thin lines, thick fills, and smooth gradients—the building blocks of any mural.
Lettering & typography: Master the art of the 'tag' and 'throw-up'. We show you how to teach students to stylise letters while maintaining legibility and flow.
Stencilling & layering: Discover how to incorporate stencils into your curriculum, which is a fantastic way for less confident students to achieve professional-looking results quickly.
Curriculum integration: We brainstorm together on how to link graffiti to other subjects like history, social studies, or mathematics, ensuring your new skills meet educational standards.
Collaborative mural project: Put your skills to the test by working on a joint piece, simulating the group dynamic you'll experience when leading a class of students.
Feedback & resources: Wrap up with a Q&A session where we provide you with digital assets, safety checklists, and a certificate of completion to add to your professional portfolio.

Good to know

Duration: Workshops typically run for 3 to 4 hours, but can be customised to fit your school's PD schedule.
Group Sizes: Ideal for groups of 5 to 20 teachers, though we can accommodate smaller or larger teams upon request.
What's Included: All spray cans, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), caps, surfaces, and digital teaching resources.
Safety: We use high-quality, EU-certified paints and provide professional FFP3 respiratory protection for all participants.
Location: We can come to your school campus in Biel or arrange a session at a local legal graffiti wall.

Local culture

Biel, or Bienne, is the perfect backdrop for a street art revolution. As Switzerland's largest bilingual city, it has always been a place where different cultures and ideas collide—much like the world of graffiti itself. The city’s industrial heritage provides a gritty, authentic atmosphere that perfectly complements the urban aesthetic. From the vibrant vibes of the Aero-Biel to the creative pockets found near the train station, there is inspiration around every corner. By bringing graffiti into your Biel school or community centre, you're tapping into a local spirit of innovation and openness. Our training reflects this unique Bieler identity, encouraging teachers to use the city's dual-language nature and architectural patchwork as a springboard for creative student projects that truly resonate with the local environment.

Pricing

Our teacher training sessions are competitively priced to fit within educational and professional development budgets. Prices generally range from CHF40 to CHF85 per person, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and the specific materials required.

We understand that every school and institution in Biel has different needs, which is why we offer bespoke packages. Whether you're looking for a quick introductory session or a deep-dive multi-day certification, we can help.
