Do I need to be an expert artist to join this training?

No prior graffiti experience is necessary! Our Art Teacher Training in Jijiga is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a confident instructor. We focus on the fundamental techniques of can control, lettering, and layering, while simultaneously teaching you how to break these steps down for your students. Our professional artists provide a supportive environment where you can learn and make mistakes.

Is spray paint safe to use in a school setting?

The safety of your students is our top priority. During the training, we cover the essential use of protective gear, including masks and gloves, and discuss the importance of proper ventilation. We also provide guidance on choosing low-toxicity paints and setting up a safe workspace within a school environment. You'll leave the session with a comprehensive safety checklist to use in your own classroom.

Are materials included, and where can I buy more later?

While we provide all necessary materials during the workshop—including premium spray cans, caps, protective gear, and practice surfaces—we also give you a 'starter kit' list. This includes recommendations for local suppliers in Ethiopia where you can purchase affordable, high-quality materials for your future school projects. We want to ensure you have everything you need to keep the momentum going.

Will I receive a certificate after the training?

Professional development is a core part of our mission. After completing the training, all participants receive an official Graffitifun Certificate of Completion. This document validates your participation in a professional street art pedagogy program and is a great addition to your teaching portfolio or CV, especially if you plan to introduce creative arts programs in regional schools.

How long does the training session last?

A standard educator training session typically lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover both the technical art skills and the pedagogical strategies for teaching graffiti. If you are part of a larger institutional group or a teacher's union in the Somali Region, we can also organize full-day intensive sessions or multi-day retreats.

Is there a hands-on portion where I can practice?

Definitely! We believe that the best way to learn is by doing. A significant portion of the training involves you working directly on a wall or large canvas to master techniques like fading, outlining, and highlights. You will also participate in a mock teaching session where you practice explaining these concepts to your peers, ensuring you are ready for the real classroom.
