How is this training different from traditional art education?

Our training focuses on making art accessible. Unlike traditional methods that can feel rigid, we teach you how to use spray paint as a tool for large-scale collaboration. You'll learn how to manage classroom dynamics in an outdoor or studio setting, how to encourage students who 'can't draw,' and how to use the vibrant energy of street art to boost student engagement across the entire curriculum. It's about confidence, culture, and high-impact visual results.

What happens if we don't have an outdoor space for the workshop?

While we love being outdoors, we are experts at adapting! We can set up temporary plastic 'walls' in large indoor halls or use high-quality, professional grade canvases. We always provide low-odour spray paint options and ensure the ventilation is perfect for a safe learning environment. If the Kolwezi weather doesn't play ball, the creativity definitely still will. We have backup artist instructors ready to ensure your session goes ahead no matter what.

Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join?

Absolutely none! Whether you're a seasoned painter or someone who hasn't picked up a brush since primary school, our professional graffiti artists will guide you step-by-step. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can and control the pressure—before moving on to advanced techniques. You’ll be amazed at the professional-looking mural you'll be able to create by the end of the day. It's all about the process!

What materials are included in the professional development package?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing like overalls and gloves, and high-standard respiratory masks for safety. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that’s a wall, a board, or a large cloth. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear some old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on!

Will I receive a qualification or certificate after the training?

We provide a certificate of completion that details the skills learned, including mural planning, spray-can techniques, and health and safety management. Many schools in the Lualaba Province recognise this as valuable professional development (CPD). It shows your commitment to innovative teaching methods and your ability to bring contemporary, urban art forms into a formal educational setting, making you a more versatile educator.

How long does the teacher training session typically last?

We are very flexible! A standard professional development session usually lasts between 2.5 and 4 hours. However, we can also offer full-day intensive masterclasses or split the training over two shorter sessions to fit around your school timetable. Just let us know what works best for your team in Kolwezi, and we will tailor the schedule to meet your specific needs and goals.

Do we need to pay in advance for the training?

No, we don't require any payment upfront! We believe in the quality of our workshops and want you to feel completely confident in booking us. You only pay after the workshop has been completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of the booking process and ensures that your school's budget is used effectively for a high-quality service. Ready to start? Just reach out for a quote!
