How long does the teacher training session last?

Our training sessions in Las Piedras typically run between 3 to 4 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the movement, master the technical handling of the cans, and engage in a collaborative mural project. If you are looking for a more intensive professional development weekend, we can certainly arrange multi-day masterclasses to dive deeper into advanced stencil work and lettering styles.

Do I need to have prior graffiti experience to join?

Absolutely no experience is required! We designed this programme specifically for educators who might have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the 'no-fear' approach to street art, starting with basic nozzle control and safety, before moving on to creative expression. You will leave the workshop feeling like a pro, ready to inspire your own students.

What materials are included in the professional development package?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This includes high-quality spray paint, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective coveralls, gloves, and high-spec respiratory masks. We also provide the canvases or practice walls. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty or paint-splattered!

Is the paint safe to use in a school environment?

Health and safety are our top priorities. We provide professional-grade FFP3 masks to ensure no fumes are inhaled, and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large workshops. Our instructors also teach you the proper ergonomic way to hold and use the cans to prevent hand fatigue, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all teachers involved.

Will I receive a certification after the training?

Yes, of course! You will receive a Graffitifun certificate of completion. This document outlines the technical skills and pedagogical methods you have mastered during the session. It serves as a fantastic addition to your professional portfolio and proves your ability to lead urban art projects safely and effectively within an educational setting in Uruguay.

How do you handle the 'legal' side of graffiti in schools?

Sustainability and respect are core values of street art. We include a specific module on the difference between 'vandalism' and 'public art,' teaching you how to guide your students toward legal walls and community-sanctioned projects. We also discuss how to pick eco-friendly paints and how to manage waste (like empty cans) responsibly within your school.

How can I book a session for my department?

Booking is simple! Since every school and teacher group in Las Piedras has different needs, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price. Just use our cost calculator or send us a quick message. We will provide a tailored quote based on your group size. No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed.

Local culture

Las Piedras is a city with a fierce sense of history and community, and we believe that the local "pedrense" spirit is the perfect backdrop for urban art. From the historic Battle of Las Piedras to the modern-day buzz of the local markets, there is inspiration around every corner. Our training often takes place near inspiring local hubs, drawing on the city's unique architectural blend to fuel our creative fire. 🏗️

Fun Fact: Did you know that the name 'Las Piedras' (The Stones) comes from the stony surface of the stream where the settlement began? We like to think we're adding a splash of modern colour to those historic foundations!

While Montevideo might be the capital, Las Piedras has a growing street art scene that is hungry for fresh talent. By training local teachers here, we are helping to create a sustainable art culture right in the heart of Canelones.
