Do I need to be a skilled artist to join the training?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is required! Our Kota Kinabalu training is designed specifically for educators who may have never touched a spray can. We start with the absolute basics of pressure control and nozzle types, building your confidence and skill set until you're ready to teach these techniques to your own students. We focus on 'train the trainer' methods that are easy to replicate.

Is spray painting safe for a school environment?

Safety is our number one priority. All participants are provided with high-quality FFP3 respirators, gloves, and protective overalls. We conduct our sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spaces with proper airflow. During the session, we also provide a comprehensive safety checklist and risk assessment template that you can adapt for your own school or classroom environment.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Most of our professional development sessions in Sabah last between 3 to 5 hours. This allows enough time for the theoretical pedagogy, hands-on practice, and a collaborative mural project at the end. We can also split the training over two days if you want to dive deeper into history and advanced stencil techniques for larger groups.

Will I receive any teaching materials to take back to my school?

Yes, you do! While we focus on the skills and techniques, we also provide digital resources, including a curriculum guide, safety protocols, and lesson plan templates. You'll leave the workshop not just with paint on your hands, but with a full toolkit to implement a successful street art unit in your school immediately.

Can you conduct the training on-site at our school?

We are incredibly flexible. We can host the training at one of our local Kota Kinabalu street art spots, or we can bring the entire setup—including mobile graffiti walls—directly to your school campus. This 'on-site' option is perfect for departments who want to learn in the environment where they will actually be teaching.

What age groups is this training suitable for teaching?

Our training is highly adaptable for ages 7 through 18. We teach you how to scale the complexity of the tasks—from simple stencil work for primary students to complex 'wildstyle' lettering and social commentary murals for secondary students. We help you align the graffiti curriculum with local educational standards and creative development milestones.

Local culture

Kota Kinabalu (or 'KK' as we locals love to call it) has undergone a massive colourful transformation recently. From the iconic pillars of the abandoned Land and Survey building (the Pillars of Sabah) to the vibrant murals hidden within the city's nooks, street art has become a vital part of the Sabahan identity. Teaching graffiti here isn't just about art; it’s about connecting students with the urban pulse of their own home.

Fun Fact: Many of the murals around KK celebrate Sabah's incredible biodiversity, featuring orangutans and hornbills in stunning street art styles! 🎨
