Do I need to be a professional artist to start this training?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is needed to join our teacher training in Goma. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold a spray can, pressure control, and nozzle types—before moving into advanced artistic techniques. Our goal is to give you the confidence to lead a classroom, regardless of your starting point. You'll progress from simple lines to complex pieces in a supportive, fun-filled environment.

Is the spray paint safe for use in a school environment?

Yes, safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective equipment, including professional-grade masks, gloves, and overalls. During the workshop, we teach you how to set up a safe workspace for your students, ensuring proper ventilation and skin protection. You'll leave the training with a comprehensive safety checklist to use in your own educational projects.

How long does the training session last?

Our standard professional development intensive in Goma typically lasts between 3 to 4 hours. However, we also offer multi-day certifications for those looking for a deeper dive into street art history and technical mastery. Because we know teachers are busy, we offer flexible scheduling, including weekend sessions or after-school intensives to fit your professional life.

Are materials included in the price?

We provide everything! Your registration covers the cost of all spray cans, a wide variety of caps (nozzles), protective gear, practice surfaces, and digital teaching resources. You don't need to bring a thing except your enthusiasm and some comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. We even provide sketches and templates to help guide your first masterpieces.

What are the pedagogical benefits of graffiti for students?

Street art is an incredible tool for engagement. It helps students develop fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and confidence. Beyond the art itself, a graffiti curriculum encourages teamwork and planning. In Goma, where creative expression is a powerful form of storytelling, teaching these skills allows students to reclaim their narrative and beautify their local environment in a legal, constructive way.

Will I receive a certificate after the training?

Definitely! Every educator who completes our Goma Art Teacher Training receives a certificate of completion from Graffitifun. This certificate validates your hours of professional development and confirms your ability to safely and effectively lead graffiti workshops. It's a fantastic addition to your teaching portfolio and can help you stand out when applying for creative roles or school projects.
