Do I need to be a street artist already to join?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is needed to join our teacher training in Pereira! Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold a spray can to mastering nozzle pressure. We focus on teaching you the methodology so you can confidently demonstrate techniques to your students. It is all about building your creative confidence in a supportive, relaxed environment while learning a new medium for your classroom.

What safety equipment is provided during the training?

We take safety very seriously. Every participant is provided with high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide a full safety briefing on how to handle aerosol cans responsibly. Our workshops in Pereira usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces to ensure a comfortable and safe breathing environment for everyone involved in the training session.

Can we create murals on our school walls after this?

While we provide canvases for the practice session, the skills you learn are highly adaptable. We teach you how to scout appropriate locations, understand the legalities of street art in Colombia, and how to prepare different surfaces. Whether your school has a dedicated 'graffiti wall' or you prefer working on large-scale boards that can be moved around the campus, we give you the technical know-how to manage it.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Standard professional development sessions for teachers in Pereira typically last between 2 and 4 hours. However, we are completely flexible! We can offer intensive full-day masterclasses or split the training over two sessions if that suits your school schedule better. We aim to balance theory, technique demonstrations, and plenty of hands-on 'spray time' so you leave feeling fully equipped and inspired.

Is it possible to host the training at our school?

Yes, we can! While we love hosting groups at our creative hubs, our artists are happy to bring the entire graffiti setup to your school or institution in Pereira. This is often a great way for staff to see exactly how a workshop could be staged on-site. We just need a suitable outdoor space and we handle all the logistics, from drop-cloths to the final clean-up.

What age groups is this graffiti curriculum suitable for?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for secondary school students, but it is also surprisingly effective for primary ages using water-based sprays or specialized techniques. During the training, we discuss how to adapt the difficulty level and safety protocols for different age groups. You will learn how to simplify letter structures for younger kids and how to introduce complex stencil work or 'wildstyle' to older teenagers.

The experience

Moving beyond traditional watercolours and pencils can transform your classroom dynamic. Here is why our graffiti teacher training in Pereira is the perfect choice for your next PD day:

🚀 Boost Student Engagement: Nothing gets students excited like the 'forbidden' cool-factor of street art.
💪 Accessible Innovation: Street art is incredibly forgiving, making it perfect for students who struggle with traditional 'fine art' techniques.
🏆 Professional Mentorship: Learn directly from active artists who are deep in the Colombian graffiti scene.
🎉 Team Building for Staff: It’s not just for the kids! Sprays and snacks make for a brilliant bonding experience for your faculty.
✨ Curriculum Ready: We don't just teach art; we teach you how to integrate it into history, social studies, and sustainability lessons.

Step by step

Introduction & Theory: We start with a brief history of Colombian street art and the evolution of graffiti as a global cultural movement.
Material Mastery: Learn the difference between caps (nozzles), paint brands, and how to troubleshoot common issues like drips or clogs.
Basic Techniques: Hit the practice wall to master 'fading', 'outlining', and 'filling'—the three pillars of any great piece.
Stencil Design: Discover how to translate traditional drawings into multi-layered stencils, a perfect entry point for less 'artistic' students.
Concept Development: We work with you to brainstorm curriculum-aligned themes, from social justice to local biodiversity, that can be expressed through art.
The Big Mural: Collaborate with your fellow teachers on a large-scale project, putting all your new skills into practice in a team environment.
Classroom Management: We share 'tricks of the trade' on how to manage a classroom full of kids with spray cans safely and effectively.

Local culture

Pereira has a unique urban energy that blends the lush greenery of the Otún valley with a gritty, creative street scene. From the murals around the Viaducto César Gaviria Trujillo to the hidden gems in the downtown corridors, the city serves as a living gallery. Participation in street art culture here is about more than just aesthetics; it’s about community identity and the "Pereirano" spirit.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Pereira is often called 'La Querendona, Trasnochadora y Morena' (The Affectionate, Sleepless, and Brown City)? This local pride provides the perfect thematic fuel for your students' first graffiti projects!

We tap into this local vibe, encouraging teachers to use the city’s rich history and coffee-growing heritage as inspiration for their creative lesson plans.
