Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely! Our art teacher training in Kananga is designed for all skill levels. Whether you are a fine arts veteran or have never touched a spray can, our professional artists guide you through the basics of 'can control' and lettering. We focus on teaching you the methodology so you can confidently pass these skills on to your students, regardless of your personal artistic background.

Is the spray paint safe to use in a school setting?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. During the professional development session, we also provide a health and safety toolkit for teachers. This includes tips on choosing well-ventilated outdoor spaces and selecting low-odour, non-toxic paints suitable for school environments in DR Congo.

Will I receive a certification after the training?

Yes, every teacher who completes the full workshop receives a Graffitifun Certificate of Participation. While formal accreditation varies by district, this certificate serves as proof of your professional development in contemporary street art techniques and urban pedagogy. It’s a fantastic way to boost your CV and demonstrate your commitment to modern, engaging teaching methods.

How can I implement these lessons on a small school budget?

We understand that school budgets can be tight. During the training, we dedicate a specific segment to 'budget-friendly' street art. We teach you how to make paint last longer, where to source affordable materials in Kananga, and even how to use recycled surfaces like large cardboard boxes or old plywood instead of expensive canvases.

How does street art help with student engagement?

Graffiti is a powerful tool for reaching disengaged students. It levels the playing field because it doesn't require traditional 'sketching' skills. In our Kananga sessions, we discuss psychological approaches to using street art as an outlet for expression, helping students build confidence and find their voice through vibrant, large-scale collaborative projects.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Standard professional development sessions for teachers usually last between 2 and 4 hours. However, we can also organise full-day intensives if you want to complete a large-scale mural project. We are flexible and can work around your school's timetable or weekend schedules to ensure your entire department can attend.

Where in Kananga do the workshops take place?

We come to you! Most of our Kananga workshops take place on school grounds, using a suitable exterior wall or mobile boards. If your school doesn't have a usable space, we can arrange a session at a local creative hub or community space. We bring all the necessary gear, so you just need to bring your enthusiasm!
