Do I need to be a skilled artist to join the training?

Absolutely no prior street art experience is needed! Our training is designed for educators of all skill levels. 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 confidence to guide your students, whether you consider yourself a 'sketcher' or someone who hasn't picked up a brush in years. Fun and growth are our priorities!

What safety measures are in place during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority in Hawassa. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. During the training, we teach you how to set up a safe workspace for your students, including proper ventilation and distance protocols. We use low-pressure cans that are easier to control, making the experience safe, professional, and worry-free for school environments.

How long does the training session last?

Each Art Teacher Training session in Hawassa typically lasts between 2 to 3.5 hours. This intensive but fun timeframe ensures we cover the history of graffiti, technical spray skills, and the pedagogical approach to teaching street art. If you have a larger group of teachers or need a more deep-dive "masterclass" session, we can easily extend the duration to fit your professional development schedule.

Are materials like spray cans and masks included?

We bring everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a wide variety of colors, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and practice surfaces like large canvases or mobile wooden walls. We also provide educational handouts and digital resources that you can use in your classroom later. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on!

Where in Hawassa does the training take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations in Hawassa. We can host the training right at your school's courtyard, a local community center, or at one of our partnered outdoor creative spaces near the lake. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we have indoor solutions using water-based, low-odor paints or specialized indoor setups. We’ll find the perfect spot that inspires your team's creativity!

How does the 'pay after the workshop' policy work?

In Ethiopia, we don't require any upfront payment to secure your Hawassa training date. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We believe in the quality of our professional development sessions, and this 'pay later' policy ensures a stress-free booking process for schools and educational institutions. We accept various local payment methods for your convenience.

The experience

Why choose graffiti for your professional development in Hawassa? Because it’s more than just paint—it's a gateway to connecting with students on their level! Here is why teachers love our sessions:

💪 Boost Student Engagement: Learn the medium that every teenager is curious about.
🔥 Confidence Building: Master a "difficult" medium so you can lead with authority.
🎨 Practical Skills: Grasp line work, shading, and composition in a giant scale.
🏆 Safe Methods: We teach you the strict safety protocols required for school settings.

Introduction to Street Culture: We kick things off with a brief, high-energy history of graffiti and how it evolved into a global art movement.
Gear & Safety Briefing: You'll learn how to properly use respiratory masks and handle spray cans to ensure a 100% safe classroom environment.
Mastering the Nozzle: Our artists teach you "can control"—learning how different caps create thin lines, fat fills, and soft fades.
Sketching & Scaling: We move to the wall! You'll learn how to take a small drawing and scale it up to a large-scale mural using "doodle grids."
Collaborative Mural Creation: The group works together on a giant piece, practicing the same teamwork skills you'll eventually teach your students.
The 'Teaching' Module: We discuss specific lesson plans, how to grade street art fairly, and how to manage a classroom full of excited kids with paint.
Final Touches & Outlining: Learn the professional "cut-back" technique to make your artwork pop and look sharp.
Review & Certification: We wrap up with a group photo and a discussion on how to integrate these new skills into your local Hawassa curriculum.
