Do I need to be an expert artist to join the training?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is needed! Our training is designed to take educators from 'zero to hero'. We focus on teaching you the foundational techniques—nozzle control, fading, and outlining—so you can confidently demonstrate them to your students. We believe every teacher has an inner artist waiting to be unleashed in the vibrant atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro.

How do you handle safety and fumes during the workshop?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. During the session, we’ll teach you how to set up a safe workspace for your students, including proper ventilation and distances. You'll leave the workshop with a comprehensive safety checklist to ensure your future school projects are 100% risk-free.

What materials are included in the teacher training package?

We provide a complete toolkit including spray cans, various nozzles (caps), protective gear, and practice surfaces. You’ll also receive a digital resource pack containing lesson plans, history sheets, and technical guides. This means you won’t have to spend hours researching—you can start implementing street art modules in your curriculum the very next week!

Can the training be held at our school location?

While we usually host sessions at our local Rio street art hubs, we are fully mobile! We can bring the entire setup to your school or community centre across Rio de Janeiro. This is a great way to assess your specific school walls and discuss how to transform them into permanent student galleries while we train your staff onsite.

How long does a typical training session last?

In Rio de Janeiro, our professional development sessions typically last between 2 and 4 hours. This allows enough time for the theoretical background, hands-on practice, and a collaborative 'masterpiece' session. We can also offer extended full-day intensives if you want to dive deeper into mural planning and large-scale project management for your institution.

Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?

Yes, we provide a certificate of completion that details the skills mastered and the hours spent in professional development. Many schools in Brazil recognise this as part of their required annual teacher training hours. It’s a fantastic addition to your teaching portfolio and proves your commitment to modern, engaging pedagogy.

The experience

Why choose our training program in the Heart of Rio? Because standard professional development can be a bit... well, boring. We’re here to change that! 🔥

Basic Can Control: Master the 'muscle memory' of spraying, including distance, speed, and how to create clean lines without drips.

Colour Theory in Practice: Experiment with blending and fading techniques to make your artwork pop off the wall.
Stencil & Technique Hacks: Discover the shortcuts and tools that help students who might struggle with freehand drawing feel successful immediately.
Curriculum Integration: We brainstorm how to link graffiti to history, social justice, and maths within your specific school syllabus.

Local culture

Rio de Janeiro isn't just a city; it's a living, breathing canvas. From the world-famous 'Etnias' mural by Kobra to the hidden gems in the favelas, street art is woven into the very fabric of Carioca culture. In Rio, graffiti is more than just paint—it's a tool for social change and community identity. By training here, you’re tapping into a rich tradition of visual storytelling that resonates deeply with young people across Brazil. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that in 2009, the Brazilian government decriminalised street art? This led to Rio becoming one of the most graffiti-friendly cities in the world, allowing artists to transform grey urban spaces into vibrant galleries with the consent of owners!
