Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely! This program is designed for educators of all levels. While some creative background is helpful, our artists teach you the fundamental techniques of spray painting from scratch. We focus on how to pass these skills to your students, making it a professional development journey rather than just a technical class. You will leave feeling confident to lead your own creative sessions in Jimma schools.

Is the spray paint safe for use in a school environment?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. During the training, we also teach you how to manage a classroom of students safely, including proper ventilation and spray can handling. You will learn the exact protocols we use across Ethiopia to ensure every school workshop is both fun and completely risk-free for everyone involved.

Are all the materials included in the training package?

Yes, we provide everything you need. This includes premium spray cans in a wide variety of colors, protective gear, practice boards, and technical manuals. We even bring the 'blackbooks' for sketching. After the training, we can also advise you on how to source the best materials locally in Ethiopia for your own future art classes. You just need to bring your enthusiasm!

How long does the teacher training session last?

A standard professional development session in Jimma usually lasts between 2 and 4 hours. However, we are very flexible! If your school or organization requires an intensive full-day masterclass or a multi-day certification program, we can customize the schedule to fit your needs. We want to ensure you have enough 'wall time' to feel like a pro before you head back to the classroom.

What is the ideal group size for this training?

We generally recommend a minimum of 5 participants for a dedicated group session, but we can accommodate large faculty teams of up to 50 educators. Smaller groups allow for more one-on-one time with our lead artists, while larger groups are fantastic for team-building among staff. Contact us to discuss the specific needs of your educational institution or art collective.

Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?

Definitely! Upon successful completion of the Graffitifun Art Teacher Training, you will receive a digital certificate. This document recognizes your participation in professional development for street art education and confirms your knowledge of graffiti techniques, safety standards, and curriculum integration. It is a great way to showcase your commitment to modern, engaging art education in the Oromia region.

Can the training be held at my own school or facility?

While we often host sessions at vibrant outdoor locations in Jimma, we can also bring the training directly to your school or community center. If you have a suitable wall or a well-ventilated outdoor area, our team will travel to you with all the equipment. This is a popular option for Jimma schools looking to train their entire art department in an environment they are familiar with.

Local culture

Jimma is a city known for its deep history, legendary coffee, and the vibrant energy of Joy Jimma University. In a place where tradition meets a huge student population, street art is blowing up as a new way for youth to express their modern Ethiopian identity.

Our training sessions often take place near the lively center or within local school grounds, tapping into the city's unique atmosphere. 🔥

Fun Fact: Did you know Jimma is the gateway to the birthplace of Coffee? We like to think a good cup of Jimma coffee provides exactly the right "buzz" needed for a day of high-energy spray painting! ☕
