Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join?

Absolutely! While our training in Manta covers advanced spray techniques, we design the professional development curriculum for educators of all backgrounds. Whether you are a traditional fine arts teacher or a classroom teacher looking for new engagement strategies, we start with the basics of can control and safety before moving into the pedagogical application of street art in the classroom.

How long does the training session last?

Our standard professional development sessions in Manta typically run between 3 to 4 hours. This allows enough time for a deep dive into the history of the movement, safety protocols, hands-on practice, and a collaborative session on how to integrate these high-energy lessons into your specific school curriculum without losing control of the classroom environment.

What materials are included in the teacher training?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes premium low-pressure spray cans (easier for beginners and students), various nozzles (caps), safety gear like masks and gloves, and suitable surfaces to paint on. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your school or studio immediately.

Is the spray paint safe for use in school environments?

Safety is our top priority, especially when teaching educators who will be responsible for students. We use low-solvent paints where possible and provide high-quality FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves. During the workshop, we cover comprehensive safety briefings that you can replicate in your own classes to ensure a safe, creative environment for your pupils.

Are there discounts for large groups of teachers?

Yes, we do! We understand that school budgets can be tight. For larger groups of teachers or entire departments from the same school or district in Manta, we offer scaled pricing. This makes it much more affordable to bring the whole team and ensure a consistent approach to street art across your entire creative department.

Do we have to pay before the workshop starts?

We believe in the quality of our workshops so much that we don't require any upfront payment. You can book your training session, get your confirmation, and then pay after the workshop has been completed. This keeps things simple and stress-free for busy educators and school administration offices.

Can this count towards my professional development hours?

Many of our participants find our workshops provide excellent material for their CPD (Continuing Professional Development) portfolios. While formal accreditation varies by board, we provide a certificate of completion from Graffitifun, documenting the skills learned and time spent, which is usually well-received by school leadership and education authorities.

Local culture

Manta is a city that thrives on movement—from the bustling port of El Murciélago to the rhythmic waves of the Pacific. This energy is increasingly reflected in the city's urban landscape. While Manta is world-famous for its seafood and tuna, it is also becoming a canvas for local artists who want to tell the story of the coast. By bringing street art training to Manta, we are helping educators connect with a global movement that resonates deeply with the local youth culture. Imagine your students creating murals that celebrate the local fishing heritage or the beauty of the Galapagos nearby—this training makes that possible.

Fun Fact: Did you know Manta was a major hub for the ancient Manteño culture? They were incredible artisans and traders—their creative spirit still flows through the streets today! 🌊
