Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely! Our workshop is designed to take you from zero to hero. We start with the absolute basics of spray can anatomy, finger pressure control, and safety. You don't need to be a 'fine artist' to be a great graffiti mentor; you just need the enthusiasm to learn the techniques. We provide a supportive environment where making mistakes is just part of the creative process. By the end, you'll feel confident enough to lead your own student sessions.

Is this workshop mostly theory or hands-on practice?

We believe in 'learning by doing.' While we do cover some essential theory regarding the history of street art and safety protocols, about 80% of the session is hands-on. You will be at the wall, experimenting with nozzles, practicing 'fat' and 'skinny' lines, and learning how to blend colours. It is an energetic, high-vibe session designed to keep you engaged and physically involved in the art-making process from start to finish.

What safety equipment is provided and taught?

Safety is our number one priority, especially in a school setting. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks. We also teach you specifically how to manage a group of students safely, covering topics like proper ventilation, disposal of cans, and how to prevent paint from getting where it shouldn't. You will leave the workshop with a comprehensive safety checklist that you can implement immediately in your own Jelgava classroom.

How long does the teacher training session last?

The training typically lasts between 2 to 3.5 hours. We've found this is the 'sweet spot' to cover the technical skills without it becoming overwhelming. If you have a larger group of teachers from across Latvia, we can extend the session to include more advanced mural planning or curriculum integration brainstorming. We are flexible and can adapt the timing to fit into your professional development day or weekend schedule.

What materials are included in the training package?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes a wide array of professional spray cans in various colours, different types of 'caps' (nozzles) for varying line widths, protective clothing, and the surfaces we'll be painting on. We also provide educational handouts and digital resources that you can use later when teaching your own students. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some old clothes and shoes—things might get a bit messy!

Will I receive a certificate after completing the workshop?

Yes, we provide all participants with a Graffitifun certificate of completion. This certificate validates that you have undergone professional development in street art techniques and safety management. It's a great addition to your professional portfolio and demonstrates to your school board or educational institution that you are committed to bringing contemporary, engaging, and innovative art forms into your curriculum. Plus, it looks pretty cool on a staff room wall!

Local culture

Jelgava has always been a city of innovation, from its royal history at the Jelgava Palace to its modern reputation as a hub for students and tech. The street art scene here is growing, influenced by the city's youthful energy and the annual Ice and Sand Sculpture festivals that prove Jelgava loves "temporary" masterpieces! When we host our art teacher training here, we draw inspiration from the city's blend of classic architecture and modern student life. We often find that Jelgava teachers have a unique "can-do" spirit that perfectly matches the DIY ethics of graffiti culture. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Jelgava is home to the largest Baroque-style palace in the Baltics? While we won't be tagging the palace walls, we definitely use that sense of grand scale when teaching you how to plan large-scale school murals! 🏰
