Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Our training is designed for educators of all skill levels! You don't need to be a professional artist to succeed. We focus on teaching you the techniques, safety protocols, and pedagogical approaches needed to lead a successful classroom session. Our artists guide you through every step, from holding the can to layering colours, ensuring you feel confident enough to demonstrate these skills to your own students later on.

Is spray painting safe for a school environment?

We prioritise safety above all else. During the workshop, we cover the use of low-pressure cans, which are easier for beginners and students to control. We also provide comprehensive guidance on high-quality respiratory protection, gloves, and eco-friendly paint options. You will learn how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor workspace that meets school health and safety standards, keeping both you and your pupils protected.

How long does the teacher training session last?

A standard professional development session in Mbeya usually lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. This allows enough time for a theoretical introduction, hands-on practice, and a collaborative mural project. However, we are completely flexible! If you have a specific staff development day schedule or want a more intensive full-day masterclass, we can customise the duration to fit your school's timetable and learning objectives.

What materials are included in the workshop?

Graffitifun provides everything! We bring professional-grade spray cans, caps, protective masks, gloves, and overalls. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that is mobile wooden panels, cellophane walls, or a designated school wall. You just need to wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. We make the logistics easy so you can focus entirely on the creative learning process.

Can I integrate this into my existing art curriculum?

Absolutely. Graffiti is an excellent tool for teaching art history, colour theory, typography, and social justice. We provide you with digital resources and lesson plan ideas that help you connect the practical workshop to broader curriculum goals. Whether you are teaching primary students about patterns or secondary students about contemporary urban culture, our training gives you the framework to make street art educationally meaningful and fun.

What is the minimum group size for a training session?

While we love group sessions because they foster a sense of 'crew' and collaboration, we can certainly accommodate smaller groups or even 1-on-1 intensive training for department heads. Most schools in Mbeya prefer to bring the whole creative arts department along to share the experience. The cost is adjusted based on the number of participants, so it is always worth requesting a quote for your specific group size.

How does the 'pay after' policy work?

At Graffitifun, we believe in the quality of our training. You don't have to pay anything upfront when you book your Mbeya session. We want you to be 100% satisfied with the professional development experience provided by our artists. Once the workshop is complete and your team is buzzing with new ideas, we handle the payment. It is a risk-free way to bring world-class street art expertise to your school.

Local culture

Mbeya is a city defined by its stunning landscapes and vibrant community spirit. Known as the 'Green City,' its backdrop of the Livingstone Mountains provides an incredible natural canvas that inspires creativity. While Mbeya is famous for its agriculture and transport links, the local art scene is growing, with young people increasingly drawn to contemporary forms of expression. Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging teachers to bridge the gap between traditional Tanzanian art and modern urban styles. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that the nearby Mbozi Meteorite is one of the largest in the world? Much like a meteorite, street art makes a massive impact! We love incorporating themes of local Mbeya pride into our teacher training murals.

Pricing

Every school and staff group in Mbeya is unique, so we don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. Our rates are competitive and depend on your group size, the amount of materials needed, and the specific setup of your location.
