Do I need to be an artist to join this training?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is needed! Our teacher training in Geneva is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a confident instructor. We start with the absolute basics of spray can control and safety before moving into complex mural techniques. Our goal is to give you the skills and the confidence to demonstrate these techniques to your own students, regardless of your current artistic background.

How do you handle health and safety in a school environment?

Safety is our top priority, especially in a school setting. We cover everything from the correct use of high-quality respirators and gloves to site preparation and ventilation. You will learn how to manage a classroom full of students with spray cans safely, ensuring that the environment remains professional and hazard-free. We also provide guidance on choosing low-odour, water-based paints that are better suited for educational environments.

What materials are included in the professional development session?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes professional-grade spray paint, a variety of nozzles (caps), protective clothing, masks, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your school. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and some old clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on!

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

Yes, we can definitely come to you! While we have fantastic locations in Geneva, we often conduct professional development days directly on school grounds. This allows us to assess your specific space and show you exactly how to set up a safe graffiti zone in your own backyard. It’s a great way to revitalise a dull school wall while training the staff at the same time.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Our standard teacher training workshops typically last between 3 to 6 hours. This timeframe allows us to dive deep into both the practical 'how-to' and the theoretical 'how-to-teach.' However, we can also offer multi-day intensives for those looking to master advanced muralism or street art history. We are flexible and can tailor the duration to fit your school's professional development schedule.

What happens if I'm not satisfied with the training?

We stand by the quality of our training 100%. If you feel the session didn't meet the learning objectives we agreed upon, we will work with you to make it right. Our Geneva artists are passionate about education and committed to ensuring every teacher leaves feeling empowered. Plus, with our 'pay after the workshop' policy, we ensure you are completely satisfied with the experience before any payment is finalised.

Local culture

Geneva might be known for its diplomacy and watchmaking, but its street art scene is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. From the legal walls at Pre-en-Bulle to the creative hubs in Carouge, the city is a canvas for international and local talent. Our workshops tap into this local 'Geneve-style'—a mix of clean precision and multicultural influences. We often draw inspiration from the city's unique architecture and the stunning backdrop of the Alps to help teachers create locally relevant art projects.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Geneva has several 'legal walls' where artists can practice freely? The 'L’Usine' cultural centre has been a focal point for the city's alternative art scene for decades! 🇨🇭
