Do I need to be an artist to join the art teacher training?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our artist-educators are masters at breaking down complex street art techniques into easy, classroom-ready steps. Whether you are a seasoned fine art teacher or a primary school generalist, we start with the basics of can control and safety. By the end of the session, you'll feel confident enough to lead your own mini-mural project with your students. We focus on 'learning by doing' in a zero-pressure environment.

Is spray painting safe to do with students in a school setting?

We take safety seriously! All Malindi workshops use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to handle, and we provide high-quality FFP2 masks, gloves, and protective suits. We also teach you how to set up a safe outdoor 'spray zone' at your school, including proper ventilation and student spacing. You will leave the training with a comprehensive safety checklist that you can implement immediately to ensure your classroom remains a secure creative space.

How long does a professional development workshop last?

Standard sessions usually run between 2 and 3 hours, but we offer full-day professional development intensives if you want to go deeper into curriculum integration. We are all about flexibility; if your teaching staff has a specific time slot during an inset day, we can tailor the duration to fit. The goal is to give you enough time to master the spray can while also covering the theoretical and pedagogical aspects of street art.

Are all materials included in the training package?

Yes! We provide all the necessary gear. This includes a wide range of premium spray paints in every colour of the rainbow, various 'caps' (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, and practice surfaces. We even provide sketches and inspiration boards. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—though our protective suits are pretty great at keeping you clean!

Can you help me integrate this into my existing curriculum?

Definitely. A big part of our Malindi training involves showing you how to link graffiti to history, social justice, typography, and colour theory. We provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that align with modern creative curriculums. You’ll learn how to turn a 'fun activity' into a robust educational project that hits key learning objectives while keeping students completely engaged. Street art is a fantastic hook for students who normally struggle with traditional art forms.

How does the payment process work for Malindi schools?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your training date. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the session is complete and you’re 100% satisfied with the experience. This makes it much easier for schools to manage their budgets and approvals without the hassle of immediate bank transfers.

Can you come to our school or do we go to a studio?

We are fully mobile! While we have great locations we can use in Malindi, we love coming directly to your school or community centre. Training on-site is actually very beneficial because it allows us to help you identify the best walls or outdoor spaces for future student projects. As long as there is a well-ventilated outdoor area or a large open shed, we can bring the full graffiti experience right to your doorstep.

The experience

Why choose graffiti for your next professional development session? Aside from being incredibly fun, it’s one of the most effective ways to reach 'hard-to-engage' students. Here’s why Malindi educators are jumping on the spray paint bandwagon: 🏆

Instant engagement: Nothing grabs a student's attention like the hiss of a spray can—it's art with an edge! 🎤
Boosts confidence: Street art techniques allow for quick results, giving a sense of achievement to students who struggle with fine-detail drawing.
Collaborative spirit: Graffiti is naturally social; our training shows you how to manage large-scale group murals that foster teamwork. 💪
Modern relevance: Urban art is the visual language of the 21st century—equip your students with skills that feel current and cool.
Stress-free logistics: We handle everything. No upfront costs, all gear provided, and professional backup artists always on standby. 🎉
Safety first: Learn the professional way to handle aerosols and PPE, ensuring your school remains compliant and safe.

Step by step

Intro & safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick look at the history of urban art and a vital safety run-through regarding spray can handling and ventilation.
Mastering the 'can control': You'll learn the 'zen' of the spray can—how distance, speed, and finger pressure change your lines from blurry clouds to sharp edges.
The 'tag' and 'throw-up': We practice the fundamentals of lettering and flow, showing you how to teach students about style and personal identity through typography.
Filling & fading: Our artists show you the secrets of vibrant colour gradients and 'fades' that make graffiti pop off the wall.
Outline & highlights: Learn the steady-hand techniques needed to add that final sharp outline and those 'power-line' highlights that give art a 3D effect.
Curriculum workshop: We sit down for a 'brain-storm' session on how to translate these skills into structured lesson plans for different age groups.
The collaborative mural: Put your new skills to the test by working together on a group piece—exactly as your students would!
Cleanup & sustainability: We show you how to manage materials efficiently and dispose of cans responsibly, keeping your art department eco-friendly.
Certification: Walk away with a Graffitifun certificate of completion and a digital pack of resources to start your school's street art journey!

Local culture

Malindi has always been a melting pot of culture, from its Swahili roots to its international coastal vibe. While the town is famous for its stunning beaches and the Vasco da Gama Pillar, there’s a growing contemporary art scene bubbling under the surface. At Graffitifun, we love blending the traditional coastal aesthetic with modern street art styles. 🌴

Fun Fact: Did you know that street art is becoming a key tool for environmental awareness in coastal Kenya? Many local artists use murals to highlight marine conservation along the Indian Ocean—a perfect project idea for your Malindi students!

In our Malindi sessions, we often draw inspiration from the local surroundings—the deep blues of the ocean, the bright bougainvillaea, and the intricate patterns of Swahili architecture. We'll show you how to encourage your students to look at their own Malindi backyard for artistic inspiration, proving that graffiti can be a sophisticated form of local storytelling. 🔥
