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

Absolutely not! This training is designed for educators of all artistic backgrounds. Whether you are a dedicated fine arts teacher or a primary school instructor looking to spice up your classroom, we teach you the foundations from scratch. We focus on the 'how-to-teach' aspect, ensuring you feel confident guiding your students through their first spray-paint strokes while maintaining a safe and inspiring environment.

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

Safety is our number one priority. We cover everything from the proper use of protective gear (masks and gloves) to managing ventilation and selecting low-toxicity paint. We also teach you how to set up a 'spray zone' that keeps the school grounds clean and the students safe. You will leave the workshop with a comprehensive safety checklist to use in your own future sessions.

How long does the training session last?

The training typically lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. During this time, we dive deep into history, technique, and practical hands-on practice. We also offer extended full-day sessions if you want to include a collaborative mural projects as part of your training. We are flexible and can adapt the timing to fit into your school’s professional development schedule or weekend plans.

Can we tailor the curriculum to reflect Ibagué's local culture?

Ibagué is the Musical Capital, and we love incorporating that! We can show you how to blend street art with local themes like the Tolima folklore, traditional instruments, or local nature. Our trainers are experts at helping you develop a curriculum that feels relevant to Ibagué’s unique culture, making the lessons much more engaging for your local students.

Are all the materials included in the price?

Yes! We provide all the professional-grade spray paint, caps, various nozzle types, protective clothing, and practice surfaces. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a little paint on. We also provide digital resources and PDF guides that you can take home to help plan your future lessons and order your own supplies.

How will this help me engage students who aren't interested in traditional art?

Graffiti is one of the most effective ways to reach 'hard-to-engage' students. It’s contemporary, rebellious (in a controlled way), and physically active. We teach you specific pedagogical strategies to use street art as a hook for teaching history, social justice, and teamwork. By the end of the day, you’ll have a toolkit of ideas to get even the quietest kids excited.
