Do I need previous graffiti experience to join the training?

Our workshop is designed for art teachers, general educators, and community leaders. You don't need any prior experience with spray cans! We start with the basics of nozzle control and safety before moving into advanced artistic techniques. Whether you teach primary school kids or university students, we'll show you how to adapt these urban art methods to suit your specific classroom environment and curriculum goals in La Paz.

Is it safe to bring graffiti into a school environment?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. During the training, we'll teach you how to set up a safe 'spray zone' in your school, how to manage ventilation, and which eco-friendly or low-odour paints are best for educational settings. You'll leave feeling confident that you can run a workshop without any health or safety risks.

How long does the professional development session last?

The training session typically lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the movement, practice technical skills on the wall, and discuss the pedagogical side of street art. If you have a large group of teachers from different faculties, we can also arrange full-day intensive sessions or multi-day retreats to dive deeper into curriculum integration.

What is the ideal group size for teacher training?

We find that groups of 5 to 20 educators work best to ensure everyone gets hands-on time with the artists. However, we are very flexible! If you are a solo art teacher looking for 1-to-1 coaching, or a large school district wanting to train 50+ staff members simultaneously, we can deploy multiple artists to ensure everyone gets the attention they need. Just let us know your numbers!

What materials are included in the training package?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, various nozzles (caps), protective gear like masks and gloves, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your classroom. All you need to bring is some comfortable old clothes, some sturdy shoes, and your boundless imagination.

How can this training help with student engagement?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for reaching 'hard-to-reach' students. It levels the playing field, as traditional 'fine art' skills aren't a prerequisite for success. In our training, we specifically discuss how to use street art to build student confidence, encourage collaboration on large-scale murals, and provide an outlet for self-expression. It’s a proven way to boost engagement and reduce absenteeism in art programmes.

Can you host the training at our school or a specific location?

Yes, we offer full flexibility! While we have a brilliant outdoor location in La Paz, we can also come to your school or community centre. We can set up temporary cellophane walls or use your existing outdoor spaces. If the weather is looking unpredictable (which can happen in the mountains!), we have indoor backup options and 'silent' low-pressure cans that are perfect for ventilated halls. We’ll make it work!

Local culture

La Paz is a city that lives and breathes art, hanging 3,640 metres closer to the stars. The street art scene here is a breathtaking mix of indigenous Aymara symbolism and modern political expression. From the vibrant murals in Cholet architecture to the hidden gems in Sopocachi, the city is a living gallery. Our training draws inspiration from this unique high-altitude culture, teaching you how to blend traditional Bolivian motifs with contemporary graffiti styles.

Fun Fact: Did you know that La Paz is home to some of the highest murals in the world? The thin air actually affects how paint spray behaves, making "The City that Touches the Clouds" a unique laboratory for street artists! 🚀

By training here, you aren't just learning a skill; you're becoming part of a movement that uses public space to tell powerful stories. We often explore the local 'Teleférico' views for inspiration before we start spraying! ✨
