Do I need any previous graffiti experience to join?

Absolutely no previous street art experience is required for our teacher training in Mount Hagen. Our professional artists are expert educators who break down complex techniques into simple, teachable steps. We focus on building your confidence from the ground up, ensuring you feel comfortable holding a spray can before we move on to advanced murals. You’ll leave feeling like a pro ready to inspire your students.

How do you handle safety and health concerns?

Safety is our top priority, especially in a school setting. During the training, we cover everything from the importance of high-quality respirators and gloves to choosing non-toxic, low-pressure paints. We’ll show you how to set up a safe outdoor or ventilated workspace and how to manage a group of students safely, ensuring that your future classroom activities are both fun and hazard-free.

Can I apply these techniques to different age groups?

Yes, the practical skills you learn in our workshop are easily adaptable for various ages. We teach you how to modify techniques for younger children using water-based markers or stencils, as well as more complex spray painting projects for secondary students. Our goal is to provide you with a versatile toolkit that fits perfectly into the Papua New Guinea national arts curriculum and beyond.

What materials are included in the training session?

We provide everything you need! This includes a wide range of premium spray cans, various nozzles (caps), protective clothing, masks, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and PDF lesson plans that you can take back to your school. You just need to wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a little bit of paint on and bring your creative energy.

How can I implement this if my school has a limited budget?

We understand that school budgets can be tight. Our professional development sessions include a dedicated module on 'graffiti on a budget.' We’ll teach you how to source affordable materials, how to make paint last longer, and creative ways to use recycled materials like cardboard or old plywood for student projects. We want to make street art accessible for every school in Mount Hagen.

What are the educational benefits of street art?

Graffiti and street art are powerful tools for student engagement. They offer a contemporary, relatable medium for self-expression, which can be particularly effective for reaching students who may feel disconnected from traditional art forms. By bringing urban art into the classroom, you encourage teamwork, spatial awareness, and confidence. It’s a fantastic way to beautify the school environment while teaching valuable technical skills.

How does the booking and payment process work?

Booking is easy and flexible! Because every school and group of educators is unique, we recommend using our online Cost Calculator or requesting a custom quote. Once we’ve agreed on the date and format, your booking is confirmed. The best part? There is no upfront payment required. You only pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the training.

Local culture

Mount Hagen is a city famous for its incredible explosions of colour, most notably seen during the world-renowned Hagen Show. Just as the traditional Bilas (body decoration) tells a story through pigment and pattern, street art allows students to tell their modern stories on a public canvas. We love the energy of the Western Highlands, and we design our training to respect and incorporate local cultural motifs alongside modern graffiti styles. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Mount Hagen Cultural Show is one of the oldest and largest in Papua New Guinea? The vibrant face paints and elaborate feathers are the original "street art" of the Highlands!

By bringing our graffiti workshops to Mount Hagen, we aim to support local teachers in blending these rich traditions with new-age artistic techniques. Whether you're near the busy market or closer to the airport, we come to your location to make professional development easy and accessible. 🏔️
