Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join the training?

Absolutely not! Our Goroka training is designed to take educators from 'zero to hero'. Whether you are a classic oil painter or haven't picked up a brush since primary school, our lead artists will teach you the fundamental motor skills and safety protocols needed to master the spray can. We focus on the 'can-do' attitude, ensuring you feel confident enough to demonstrate techniques to your own students back in the classroom.

Is spray painting safe for a school environment?

Safety is our absolute number one priority. We provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including high-quality FFP3 masks and gloves. We also teach you how to set up a safe outdoor workspace at your school, including proper ventilation and distance requirements. You will leave the workshop with a comprehensive safety checklist that satisfies modern health and safety standards for educational environments in the Highlands.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Our standard professional development sessions in Goroka usually run for about 2.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the movement, master the technical drills, and complete a collaborative mural. However, we can also offer extended full-day 'deep-dive' sessions if your department wants to master more advanced techniques like stencilling or complex 3D lettering styles.

Do we have to pay in advance for the professional development?

We believe in stress-free booking. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your training date in Goroka. We understand how school budget approvals can sometimes take a bit of time, so we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the professional development experience before any funds are transferred. Fun and learning come first!

What materials are included in the training package?

We provide everything! Your session includes professional-grade, low-pressure spray cans (which are easier to control), a variety of nozzle 'caps' for different line widths, protective gear, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. We can even bring mobile wooden walls to your school grounds if you don't have a permanent wall available for the training. Just bring your enthusiasm and some old clothes!

Can you help me integrate this into my existing curriculum?

Yes! One of the most valuable parts of our training is showing you how to link graffiti art to the broader curriculum. We discuss how to integrate history, social studies (the evolution of urban culture), and chemistry (pigment and pressure). You will receive tips on lesson planning and student assessment, helping you turn a 'fun activity' into a robust, multi-week educational unit for your students.

The experience

Why choose graffiti for your next professional development session? Beyond the sheer fun of it, street art is a powerful tool for modern education. It encourages teamwork, builds confidence in large-scale thinking, and revitalizes school environments. Here’s why our Goroka training is a game-changer:

Engage 'Hard-to-Reach' Students: Graffiti often speaks to kids who aren't interested in traditional fine arts, giving them a reason to love the art room. 🔥
Boost School Spirit: Learn how to lead student groups in creating permanent, beautiful murals that turn grey school walls into local landmarks.
Hands-on 'Maker' Education: It’s a tactile, physical way of learning that combines chemistry, geometry, and creative expression.
Stress-Free Booking: No upfront payments! We trust our educators—you only pay once the workshop is successfully completed. 🏆
Expert Mentorship: Our artists aren't just painters; they are experienced mentors who know how to teach the "how-to" step-by-step.
Backup Artist Guarantee: Our deep roster means your training will never be cancelled due to a single artist being unavailable. 💪

Step by step

Introduction to Urban History: We start with a quick, energetic deep-dive into the roots of street art and how it evolved from New York subways to global galleries.
The 'Can' Manual: Learn the anatomy of a spray can, from shaking the mixing ball to choosing the right 'cap' or nozzle for the job.
First Lines and Muscle Memory: Practice basic movements—dots, thin lines, and thick 'fats'—to get a feel for the pressure and distance.
The Art of Lettering: Move from standard fonts to 'bubbles' and 'blocks', learning how to give letters weight, flow, and personality.
Layering and Techniques: Discover the secrets of 'filling', 'fading' (colour transitions), and 'shining' to make your art pop off the wall.
Safety and Classroom Management: We walk you through the essential PPE and how to supervise a group of students safely and effectively.
The Final Mural: Put your skills to the test by collaborating on a large-scale piece, experiencing exactly what your students will feel.
Feedback and Curriculum Tips: Wrap up with a Q&A on how to grade street art and integrate it into your specific school curriculum.

Local culture

Goroka is world-famous for the vibrant Goroka Show and the stunning traditional artistry of the Asaro Mudmen. At Graffitifun, we believe that the same spirit of storytelling and visual identity found in traditional masks and bilas can be beautifully translated into modern street art. Imagine blending the iconic patterns of the Highlands with the bold outlines of contemporary graffiti! 🎭

Fun Fact: Did you know that Goroka sits at an altitude of about 1,600 metres? This thinner air doesn't just make the coffee taste better; it means you've got a fantastic, mild climate that is absolutely perfect for outdoor mural painting all year round without the sweltering heat of the coast!
