Do I need to be a professional artist to join?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is needed to join our teacher training in Likasi! We start with the basics of can control and safety, then build up to complex mural techniques. Our professional artists are there to guide you through every spray, ensuring you feel confident enough to demonstrate these skills to your own students back in the classroom. It is all about learning by doing in a supportive, fun environment.

What safety equipment is provided during the training?

We take safety very seriously. Every Likasi training session includes high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We also provide a comprehensive safety briefing covering ventilation, proper storage of materials, and how to teach these safety protocols to younger students. You will leave the workshop with a clear understanding of how to maintain a safe, professional creative space in a school setting.

How long does a typical training session last?

Our standard professional development workshops in Likasi usually last between 2.5 to 4 hours. This allows enough time for the theoretical introduction, hands-on practice, and the creation of a final collaborative piece. We can also tailor the duration to fit into a wider school inset day or a weekend seminar, depending on your faculty's specific schedule and professional development goals.

Do we receive any materials to take back to school?

Yes! We provide all participants with a digital 'Street Art Educator Kit.' This includes lesson plan templates, a history of graffiti culture, a guide to essential materials, and troubleshooting tips for common classroom challenges. Our goal is to make sure you have everything you need to start a graffiti module the very next week, feeling fully prepared and inspired.

What is the maximum group size for the training?

Our Likasi workshops are highly flexible. We can host small, intimate groups of 5 teachers for deep-dive technical training, or larger school faculties of up to 30 people for a more collaborative team-building experience. If you have a very large group, we simply bring in more of our professional backup artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of one-on-one guidance and spray time.

Will we get to create an actual piece of art?

Definitely! While our primary focus is on teaching you how to instruct others, the final part of our Likasi session involves a collaborative project where you apply everything you've learned. You will work on a large canvas or a designated wall space to create a stunning piece of urban art. It is a fantastic way to see the results of your hard work immediately!

Introduction to Urban Culture: We kick off in Likasi with a deep dive into the history of graffiti and how it evolved from street tags to a global art phenomenon.
Equipment Mastery: You will learn about different nozzle types (caps), spray can brands, and how to choose the right tools for various school budgets and age groups.
Can Control Techniques: Our pros show you how to manage pressure, distance, and hand speed to create clean lines, fades, and sharp outlines without the drips.
Lettering & Style: We move on to the 'alphabet' of graffiti, teaching you how to construct 3D letters and develop a unique 'tag' or style to inspire your students.
Safety First Training: A crucial step for teachers—learning how to manage a classroom full of spray cans, including proper ventilation and protective gear protocols.
Curriculum Integration: We brainstorm together on how to link graffiti to history, social studies, and traditional fine art curriculum standards.
Collaborative Mural: The highlight of the day! You and your fellow teachers will design and execute a large-scale street art piece using your new skills.

Local culture

Likasi, the 'Radiant City', has always been a hub of industry and movement. Bringing graffiti training here feels like a natural extension of that local energy! From the bustling markets to the surrounding mining landscapes, there is a gritty beauty in the copper heart of the DRC that perfectly mirrors the raw aesthetic of street art. We love the way the local light hits the vibrant colours of a fresh mural in Katanga Province. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Likasi was originally called Jadotville? It has a history as a crossroads of people and ideas, making it the perfect place to foster a new generation of urban artists through classroom education! 🎨
