Do I need prior experience with graffiti to join the training?

No prior graffiti experience is necessary. Our program is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a confident street art educator. We start with basic can control and safety protocols before moving into complex technical skills. Whether you’ve never touched a spray can or you're an experienced traditional painter, we'll give you the specific tools needed to master the medium of street art.

What safety equipment is provided during the workshop?

We take safety very seriously. All participants are provided with high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls. We also teach you how to manage a classroom environment safely, including proper ventilation, fire safety, and the correct way to handle and store aerosol cans. You will leave the workshop with a full safety checklist to use in your own future teaching sessions.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Typically, our professional development workshops in Bukavu last between 3 to 4 hours. This allows enough time for a deep dive into both the practical spray painting techniques and the pedagogical theory behind teaching urban art. We can also arrange full-day intensives or multi-day sessions if your institution requires a more comprehensive curriculum development program.

Can I use these skills for both primary and secondary school students?

Absolutely! While the core techniques remain the same, we show you how to adapt your lesson plans for different age groups, from primary school children to teenagers. We focus on age-appropriate safety, simplified techniques for younger kids, and more advanced artistic concepts for older students, ensuring you can lead a successful workshop regardless of your students' ages.

Is there a practical 'hands-on' component to the training?

Yes, we believe in 'learning by doing.' You won't just be watching; you'll be spending the majority of the time with a spray can in your hand. Our artists guide you through creating your own pieces so you understand the physical challenges your students will face. By the end of the session, you'll have the muscle memory and technical confidence to demonstrate skills to your class.

What happens if I'm not satisfied or if the artist is sick?

We want you to be 100% happy with the training. One of our unique benefits is that we don't require upfront payments. You only pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are satisfied with the value provided. Furthermore, we always have backup artists on standby to ensure that your scheduled professional development session goes ahead as planned, even if an emergency arises.

Do you cover the legal aspects of graffiti and street art?

While we focus on the artistic and educational side, we also discuss the importance of legal street art. We teach you how to identify 'legal walls' and how to work with local authorities or school boards to secure permission for murals. This ensures that your students learn to express themselves creatively while respecting the local community and Bukavu's urban environment.

We understand the unique architectural charm of the city and how street art can be used to beautify community spaces and engage young people in positive social change. Our workshops respect the local culture while introducing global urban art techniques, creating a fusion that is uniquely Bukavu.
