Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the art teacher training?

Absolutely not! This training is designed for educators of all skill levels. Whether you are a professional painter or someone who hasn't picked up a brush since primary school, our lead artists will guide you through the basics. We focus on the spray-painting technique and the pedagogy of teaching street art, ensuring you leave Oulu with the confidence to lead your own student sessions.

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

We take health and safety very seriously, especially for school environments. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. During the professional development session in Oulu, we will specifically cover how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor workspace for your students, ensuring you can replicate the experience safely at your own school.

How long does the training session last?

The workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of street art, master basic spray techniques, and complete a collaborative or individual piece. We also dedicate time to a Q&A session focused on classroom management and curriculum integration, making it a comprehensive professional development experience for Oulu-based educators.

What materials are included in the professional development package?

We provide everything you need! This includes a wide variety of premium spray cans, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty and bring your enthusiasm. We handle the setup and the cleanup!

Can you host the training at our school in Oulu?

Yes, we can! While we have fantastic locations available in Oulu, our artists are mobile. If your school or institution has a suitable outdoor wall or a well-ventilated space, we can bring the training directly to your faculty. This is a great way to assess your own school's facilities for future student workshops while the whole team learns together.

Do we have to pay upfront for the teacher training?

We understand that school budgets and schedules can be complex. That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront payments or deposits to secure your date. Once the training is complete and your team is inspired, we’ll handle the invoicing. It’s all part of our 100% satisfaction focus.

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Oulu has a unique vibe where technology meets a rugged, creative spirit. From the iconic 'Toripolliisi' statue to the snowy streets in winter, the city is a canvas waiting to be explored. While Oulu is world-renowned for its tech innovation, the local street art scene is a hidden gem that adds a splash of colour to the Northern landscape. Teaching graffiti here isn't just about art; it’s about giving students in the "Capital of Northern Scandinavia" a voice that stands out against the white winter backdrop.

Fun Fact: Did you know Oulu is famous for the Air Guitar World Championships? That same spirit of "letting go" and expressing yourself is exactly what we bring to our graffiti workshops. It's all about bold energy!

Pricing

Our teacher training sessions are designed to be flexible and affordable for Oulu schools and organisations. Prices generally range from €30 to €65 per person, depending on the number of participants and the specific setup of your training day.

To ensure we provide the best value for your professional development budget, we recommend getting in touch for a tailored plan. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is complete and your team is fully inspired!
