Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! Our Lausanne teacher training is designed for all skill levels. Whether you are a fine arts graduate or someone who hasn't picked up a spray can since secondary school, our professional artists will guide you through the basics. We focus on teaching you the techniques and safety protocols needed to lead your own student sessions with confidence and flair.

Is the spray paint safe for use in a school environment?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. During the workshop in Lausanne, we also cover important classroom safety protocols, such as proper ventilation, skin protection, and the correct way to store aerosol cans. You'll leave the session knowing exactly how to keep your students safe and the school environment clean.

Are all materials included in the workshop price?

Yes! We provide all the necessary professional equipment, including a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your school. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on!

How long does the professional development session last?

Our standard teacher development sessions in Lausanne typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a deep dive into history, hands-on technique practice, and a collaborative final project. If your school department has specific time constraints or wants a more intensive full-day masterclass, we can easily customise the duration to fit your professional development schedule.

Can the training take place at our own school in Lausanne?

We are very flexible when it comes to location. We can host the training at one of our dedicated street art spots in Lausanne, or our artists can come directly to your school's art department. If we come to you, we'll just need an outdoor space or a very well-ventilated indoor area with proper protection for the floors and walls.

Will I receive resources to help me teach this to my students?

Definitely. A major part of our training involves teaching you how to structure a graffiti module for different age groups. We provide advice on curriculum integration, time management for large classes, and how to encourage students who may feel intimidated by traditional art forms. You'll receive a 'teacher's toolkit' of ideas to keep your students engaged and inspired.

How much does the teacher training cost per person?

In Lausanne, our prices generally range from CHF40 to CHF85 per person. The final cost depends on the number of staff members participating and whether we are using our venue or yours. Because every school's needs are unique, we recommend requesting a custom quote so we can provide the best possible value for your professional development budget.

Local culture

Lausanne is a city that breathes creativity, from the prestigious ECAL (University of Art and Design) to the hidden gems of street art in the Flon district. The local culture here perfectly blends Swiss precision with a rebellious, artistic spirit. Did you know that Lausanne has a long-standing history of supporting urban expression through sanctioned 'open walls' that allow local artists to hone their craft legally? 🇨🇭

In our training, we often draw inspiration from the steep, winding streets and the blue hues of Lake Geneva. We love helping Lausanne teachers tap into this local energy, turning the city's unique aesthetic into a classroom-ready project. Fun Fact: The Flon area was once a warehouse district and is now the beating heart of Lausanne’s creative scene—many of the murals there are world-class examples of the techniques we'll teach you! ✨

Pricing

We believe high-quality professional development should be accessible to all schools in the Vaud region. Our pricing structure is transparent and includes everything you need for a successful session.

General Pricing: CHF40 - CHF85 per person

Please note that the final price depends on your group size, the length of the session, and the specific materials required for your project. We don't require upfront payments—you only pay after the workshop is complete! 💰
