Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Nairobi teacher training is designed for all skill levels. Whether you are a fine arts master or someone who hasn't picked up a spray can since childhood, we provide the foundational techniques you need. We focus on 'teaching the teacher,' ensuring you feel confident demonstrating basic strokes, safety protocols, and can control to your students regardless of your personal artistic background. It is about the process, not just the final masterpiece.

How does graffiti benefit my students' development?

Street art is a powerful tool for student engagement because it meets them where they are. It promotes spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and confidence. In our professional development sessions, we show you how to link graffiti to Kenyan curriculum goals, including history, social justice, and collaborative problem-solving. It’s a fantastic way to reach 'at-risk' youth or students who find traditional fine arts too restrictive or intimidating. Plus, it makes your classroom the coolest place in school!

Is spray painting safe for a school environment?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality, low-odour professional spray paint and provide all necessary protective gear, including quality nitrile gloves and specialised masks. During the 'Train the Trainer' session in Nairobi, we specifically cover classroom management for spray art, including how to set up well-ventilated outdoor workspaces, proper storage of materials, and how to supervise students to ensure everyone stays safe while having a blast.

Where do the Nairobi teacher training sessions take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host the training at your school campus anywhere in Nairobi, or we can arrange a session at one of our local street art partner locations. If you prefer a more 'authentic' experience, we can even work on a permitted public wall. We bring all the materials to you, including the paint, caps, and protective clothing, so you don't have to worry about the logistics—just show up ready to paint.

How long is the training session?

Standard professional development sessions usually run between 2 and 4 hours. However, we can customise the duration based on your staff meeting schedule or PD day requirements. Some schools prefer a quick intensive 'kick-starter' session, while others opt for a full-day immersive masterclass. We also offer follow-up support and digital resources to help you implement what you’ve learned long after the paint has dried on the wall.

What are the payment terms for schools and organisations?

No upfront payment is required to book your training date! We believe in the quality of our workshops and want you to feel totally confident in choosing Graffitifun. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We offer easy payment options for Nairobi educational institutions and can provide all necessary invoicing and documentation for your school’s accounting department. It’s a completely risk-free way to upgrade your school's art curriculum.

Local culture

Nairobi is a city that pulses with artistic energy, from the world-famous matatu culture to the hidden murals of the CBD. Our training sessions tap into this unique Nairobi street art vibe, acknowledging local pioneers and the specific visual language of Kenya's capital. Whether we're discussing the social impact of murals in Kibera or the sleek commercial art in Westlands, we ground our teacher training in the local context. 🇰🇪

Fun fact: Did you know that Nairobi's 'Matatu' culture is widely considered one of the most vibrant forms of mobile street art in the world? We often use the bold colours and lettering of these buses as inspiration for our school projects! 🚌 🎨
