Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Our Mwanza teacher training sessions are designed for everyone! Whether you are a dedicated secondary school art teacher or a primary school educator looking for new ways to engage your pupils, you are welcome. We also host youth workers and community leaders. You don't need to be a 'pro' artist—just bringing a positive attitude and a willingness to get a little paint on your hands is enough to succeed with us.

Is spraying graffiti safe for a classroom environment?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. During the workshop, we teach you how to set up a safe 'spraying zone' in your own school or community centre, ensuring you can lead future sessions for your students without any health or safety concerns. We keep the environment well-ventilated and fun!

What materials are included in the professional development package?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes a wide spectrum of spray-can colours, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and large practice surfaces or canvases. We even provide sketches and design templates to help you get inspired. You just need to wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—even though we provide overalls!

How long does the teacher training session last?

A standard professional development session in 'Rock City' usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the theory of street art, technique practice, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. However, we can also offer full-day intensive courses if your school or organisation wants a deeper dive into the technical aspects of mural painting and curriculum integration.

Can you hold the training at our school in Mwanza?

Yes! We love visiting schools directly. Whether your school is near the city centre or closer to the airport, our mobile team of artists can bring all the equipment to your premises. This is often the best way to train, as we can help you identify the best local spots on your campus for future student mural projects and evaluate your specific space and ventilation.

What specific teaching skills will I walk away with?

One of the best parts of our training is teaching you how to manage the budget! We show you how to source affordable, high-quality materials and how to make cans last longer. We also teach 'low-mess' techniques and how to use stencils to ensure even the least confident students produce something they are proud of. You'll leave with a full toolkit of teaching strategies.

Local culture

Mwanza, affectionately known as 'Rock City' due to the stunning granite outcrops like Bismarck Rock, is a city defined by its unique landscape and resilient spirit. We draw massive inspiration from the natural textures of the rocks and the shimmering blues of Lake Victoria. Our training often incorporates these local elements into our designs, encouraging teachers to help students find beauty in their own Tanzanian surroundings. 🎨

Fun fact: Did you know that the massive boulders found around Mwanza are over 200 million years old? We think there's no better place to learn a 'modern' art form than amongst such ancient and inspiring natural architecture. Plus, the growing creative scene in the Lake Zone makes it the perfect time to introduce professional street art techniques to the next generation of local artists! 🇹🇿
