Do I need to have prior experience with spray paint to join?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our training is designed to take educators from complete novices to confident practitioners. We focus on the 'low barrier to entry' nature of graffiti, teaching you how to guide students through basic shapes and lettering before moving onto more complex layering. Our artists are patient mentors who ensure you feel comfortable with the spray can before you ever have to lead a class.

What safety measures are covered during the professional development?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide full protective gear, including high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and overalls. During the training, we teach you how to set up a safe workspace for students, manage ventilation, and handle materials responsibly. You'll leave the session with a comprehensive safety checklist that complies with standard school health and safety regulations, ensuring your future lessons are both fun and hazard-free.

How does graffiti benefit my students' artistic development?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for reaching disengaged students or those who struggle with traditional fine art forms. It builds confidence, encourages collaboration through large-scale murals, and validates youth culture within an academic setting. Many teachers find that introducing street art leads to improved attendance and participation in their art programmes, as it feels more relevant and accessible to the modern student's lived experience.

Can the training be tailored to fit specific school curriculum goals?

We encourage you to bring your own ideas! If there is a specific curriculum goal you need to meet—such as exploring social justice topics or urban history—let us know. Our artists can tailor the professional development session to focus on specific techniques or themes that align with your upcoming lesson plans, making the training directly applicable to your classroom needs the very next day.

Where do the teacher training sessions take place?

We offer total flexibility. We can come directly to your school or educational facility in Bologna, or we can host your group at one of our vibrant outdoor legal graffiti spots. Many teachers prefer the outdoor experience to truly feel the 'street' atmosphere, but if you have a specific wall on your campus you'd like to transform as part of the training, we are happy to work there.

How can I incorporate Bologna's local street art history into my lessons?

Bologna is world-renowned for its street art, from the historic works in Via Zamboni to the modern murals in the outskirts. Our training incorporates local context, teaching you how to use Bologna's rich urban art history as a teaching resource. You can lead your students on local field trips and discuss the evolution of the city's walls, connecting their practical work to the vibrant culture surrounding them.

Local culture

Bologna isn't just about incredible pasta; it’s a city with a soul made of spray paint. From the iconic political murals of the 1970s that still whisper from the walls of the university district to the legal halls of fame that dot the city's outskirts, Bologna is a living gallery. By taking your teacher training here, you are tapping into a legacy of creative rebellion and social commentary. We often reference local legends and the specific "Bolognese style" during our sessions. Teaching street art in a city that respects the medium as much as Bologna does provides a unique backdrop that will inspire both you and your future students. It’s an environment where the transition from 'vandalism' to 'fine art' is a conversation you can lead with authority.
