How does this differ from a standard graffiti workshop?

While we do cover basic spray techniques, this training is specifically designed for educators. We focus heavily on the pedagogy of street art—how to teach it to others, manage a classroom with spray cans, and link graffiti to curriculum standards. You'll leave with a professional toolkit of lesson plans and safety protocols that a standard hobbyist workshop simply doesn't provide. It’s about making you the expert.

Is it safe to bring graffiti into my own classroom?

Safety is our absolute priority, especially for school environments. We train you on the correct use of low-pressure cans, proper ventilation techniques, and the essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like masks and gloves. We also provide a safety checklist that you can use with your own pupils to ensure every creative session you run in the future is 100% accident-free and professionally managed.

Do I need previous experience with spray paint?

Not at all! Many of our most successful trainees come from traditional fine art or even non-art backgrounds (like youth work or history). We start with the absolute basics of 'can control' and build your confidence from the ground up. By the end of the day, you'll be amazed at the quality of the piece you've created and your ability to demonstrate these skills to others.

What happens if it rains on the day of my training?

Marseille is famous for its bright, Mediterranean light. We usually host our training at outdoor 'Hall of Fame' spots or creative hubs where there is plenty of ventilation. If the Mistral wind gets too strong or it rains, we have sheltered backup locations and indoor studios where we use low-odour water-based sprays to ensure the training continues comfortably and safely regardless of the weather.

Can I apply these techniques to different age groups?

Our training is highly versatile. We show you how to adapt graffiti techniques for primary school children (using stencils and markers) all the way up to secondary school students and adult learners. We’ll discuss how to scale the complexity of the tasks and how to manage different group dynamics, ensuring you can deliver a high-quality art experience for any age group you work with.

How does the payment process work for teachers?

We keep things flexible for our fellow educators. You don't need to pay a penny upfront to secure your training date. We believe in the quality of our Marseille artist-mentors, so you only pay after the workshop is complete and you’re fully satisfied with the skills you’ve gained. We can provide invoices for school departments or individual receipts for professional development budgets.

Local culture

Marseille isn't just a city; it's a sprawling, sun-drenched canvas. From the legendary murals of Le Panier to the rebellious tags in Cours Julien, street art is woven into the very fabric of the city's identity. Our training taps into this local spirit, often taking place near the iconic 'Mur de Lenche' or other local hotspots where the Mediterranean light makes every colour pop. We don't just teach you how to paint; we show you how Marseille uses art as a tool for social cohesion and urban storytelling.

Fun Fact: Did you know Marseille is home to some of the oldest graffiti in France? The city's port history has created a melting pot of global styles, making it a "street art university" in its own right!
