Do I need previous graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! Our Mombasa teacher training is designed for all skill levels. Whether you are a seasoned fine artist or someone who can barely draw a stick figure, our professional artists guide you through the technical aspects of spray painting from scratch. We focus on teaching you the delivery methods and safety protocols so you can confidently lead a classroom, regardless of your personal artistic background. It is all about the process!

Is the spray paint safe to use in a school setting?

We take safety very seriously. All participants are provided with high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective overalls to ensure no fumes or paint reach your skin or lungs. During the session, we also cover how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor workspace for your students. We teach you how to manage a group of kids or teens with spray cans safely, ensuring a fun and hazard-free environment.

How long does the training session last?

The standard teacher professional development session in Mombasa typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of the movement, technical 'can control' drills, and a collaborative mural project. If you have specific curriculum goals or a larger staff group, we can customise the duration to fit your schedule. We are flexible and work around your school’s timetable.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes a wide array of professional spray paint colours, various nozzle types (caps), protective gear like masks and gloves, and the surfaces we paint on—usually large wooden panels or plastic wrapping. You also receive digital resources and lesson plan templates to take back to your classroom. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some old shoes!

How does the 'pay after the workshop' policy work?

We understand that school budgets and schedules can be tricky. That is why we offer a 'no-pay-up-front' policy. You can book your training date to secure our artists, and payment is only settled after the workshop has been successfully completed. We believe in the quality of our training and want you to be 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands.

How will this training benefit my students in Mombasa?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for engagement because it levels the playing field. It appeals to students who might struggle with traditional 'fine art' but excel in tactile, large-scale projects. It encourages teamwork, boosts confidence, and teaches students about urban culture and legal expression. Our training helps you harness this 'cool factor' to improve classroom participation and offer a diverse, modern curriculum that resonates with today's youth.

The experience

Why choose graffiti for your next professional development day in Mombasa? It is more than just spray painting walls; it is about empowerment and modernising the way we think about creativity. Here is why our training stands out:

Boost student engagement: Graffiti is an instant hook for teenagers, making art class the highlight of their week. 🎤
Complete safety kits: We handle all the 'scary' stuff—providing top-tier masks and non-toxic guidelines so you can focus on the art.
No-risk booking: With our 'pay after' policy and backup artist guarantee, your school's schedule is always protected. 💪
Curriculum ready: We don't just teach you how to paint; we show you how to teach others, including lesson plans and assessment tips.
Expert local knowledge: Our artists understand the Kenyan art scene and how to adapt street art techniques to local contexts.
Fun and team building: It is a brilliant way for your staff to bond, de-stress, and try something totally outside their comfort zone. 🎉

Step by step

Intro and street art theory: We kick off with a brief history of graffiti culture, moving from NYC origins to the vibrant street art scene in Kenya today.
Gear and safety briefing: You will get kitted out in protective gear and learn the essential safety rules for using aerosol paints in a group environment.
The 'can control' masterclass: Our artists show you how to hold the can, swap caps for different line widths, and manage pressure for smooth gradients.
Lettering and tagging basics: You will practice the foundations of 'throw-ups' and 'pieces', learning how to construct letters with style and flow.
Developing a lesson plan: We brainstorm how to integrate these skills into your specific curriculum, whether for primary, secondary, or community groups.
The collaborative mural: Put your skills to the test! Together with your colleagues, you will create a large-scale graffiti mural using various techniques.
Critique and classroom management: We discuss how to grade graffiti projects and maintain discipline and safety when students have spray cans in hand.
Certification and photos: We wrap up with a group photo in front of your masterpiece and provide you with resources to jumpstart your lessons.

Local culture

Mombasa is a city of incredible contrast and colour, from the ancient winding alleys of Old Town to the bustling modern streets of Nyali. While the city is famous for its intricate Swahili carvings and traditional henna designs, a new wave of contemporary street art is beginning to take root in the 254. By teaching graffiti in Mombasa, you are helping students bridge the gap between their rich cultural heritage and modern global expressions. 🔥 🇰🇪

Fun Fact: Did you know that Mombasa's vibrant 'Matatu' culture is actually a form of moving street art? The incredible graffiti-style wraps and custom designs on local buses are exactly the kind of local inspiration we use to connect students with their artistic surroundings!
