Do I need to be a professional artist to join the training?

Absolutely no prior street art experience is needed! Our Mbuji-Mayi training is specifically designed for educators who might be starting from scratch. We teach you the fundamental techniques, from holding the can to master layering, in a supportive environment. The goal is to give you the confidence to lead your own students, regardless of your personal artistic background. It's all about learning the process and having fun with it!

Is spray painting safe for a school environment?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. During the professional development session, we specifically cover how to set up a safe workspace for students in Mbuji-Mayi, including ventilation requirements and age-appropriate safety instructions. You'll leave the workshop not just with art skills, but with a comprehensive safety protocol for your school.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Our standard teacher training sessions in Mbuji-Mayi typically last between 2 and 4 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of graffiti, basic techniques, and practical teaching strategies. If your school or organization requires a more intensive multi-day development programme, we can certainly arrange that! We offer flexible scheduling to fit into the busy lives of Congolese educators.

Are all materials included in the price?

Yes! One of the biggest perks of our Mbuji-Mayi programme is that we provide all the professional-grade spray cans, caps, protective clothing, and practice surfaces. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a little paint on and a notebook for taking down teaching tips. We handle all the logistics so you can focus on the creative learning experience.

Do I have to pay in advance for the training?

At Graffitifun, we understand that school budgets can be tricky. That's why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking in Mbuji-Mayi. We trust our educators and want the process to be as stress-free as possible. Once the training is complete and you're happy with the results, we'll settle the invoice.

Where in Mbuji-Mayi does the training take place?

We can host the training at a variety of locations in Mbuji-Mayi! We often work directly on school grounds if there is a suitable outdoor wall or well-ventilated space. Alternatively, we can arrange a local creative space. We are flexible and will work with you to find the most convenient spot in the city for your professional development day.

How can I integrate graffiti into my existing curriculum?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for engagement! In our training, we show you how to link street art to history, social studies, and even maths (through scale and geometry). It's a brilliant way to reach 'disengaged' learners and encourage teamwork. We provide you with lesson plan templates and project ideas specifically tailored for the Congolese curriculum and classroom dynamics.
