Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join?

No prior graffiti experience is necessary. We design our training to cater to art teachers of all skill levels, from those who have never touched a spray can to experienced muralists looking for better pedagogical techniques. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control and safety before moving on to the complex curriculum planning methods.

What safety measures do you teach for the classroom?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective equipment, including high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and overalls. During the session, we teach you how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor workspace for your students, ensuring you can manage health and safety protocols confidently in your own school environment in Bordeaux.

Will I receive any physical resources or lesson plans?

Absolutely. We provide a comprehensive digital and physical toolkit that includes lesson plans, supply lists, and technique guides. These materials are designed to be easily adaptable for different age groups and class durations. You will leave the training with a clear roadmap of how to integrate street art into your existing art curriculum.

Can the training be held at my own school in Bordeaux?

We are incredibly flexible. While we have a central location in Bordeaux, we can also bring the training directly to your school or community centre. This allows us to assess your specific space and provide tailored advice on how to set up a graffiti station on your own grounds, which is often very helpful for staff development.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Standard professional development sessions usually last between 2 and 4 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for covering both the practical spray-painting techniques and the theoretical curriculum planning. However, we can also offer full-day intensives or multi-session programmes if your department wants to dive deeper into specific urban art history or advanced techniques.

What happens if we need to cancel or change dates?

We understand that school budgets and schedules can be tricky. That is why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. Furthermore, we have a large team of backup artists in the Bordeaux area to ensure that your scheduled training session goes ahead even if an instructor falls ill.

Local culture

Bordeaux is far more than just world-class wine; it is a city where the historic stone facades increasingly share space with vibrant urban murals. The local street art culture is deeply rooted in spots like the Darwin Ecosystem on the Right Bank, a former military barracks turned into a creative hub. By taking part in our training, you are connecting your students to this local heritage. We often draw inspiration from the diverse styles found across the city, from the stencil work in Saint-Michel to the large-scale commissions in the Bacalan district. We believe that by understanding the local Bordeaux scene, teachers can provide students with a context that makes art feel alive and relevant to their own daily walks through the city streets. Our workshops capture that unique 'Bordelais' spirit of blending tradition with modern rebellion.

Pricing

Our professional development sessions are priced competitively to suit school budgets in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Prices generally range from €30 to €65 per person, depending on the number of participants, the length of the training, and whether we host you at our site or travel to your school. We believe in complete transparency and trust, which is why we offer a pay-after-the-workshop policy.
