Do I need previous graffiti experience to join the teacher training?

Absolutely not! This training is designed for educators of all skill levels. Whether you are a stick-figure specialist or a seasoned oil painter, our professional artists will teach you the fundamentals of spray control, layering, and lettering from scratch. We focus on giving you the technical confidence to demonstrate these skills to your students effectively, ensuring you feel like a pro before you step back into the classroom.

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

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respirators, gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. During the session, we’ll specifically teach you how to set up a safe working environment for your students, including proper ventilation outdoors, handling of aerosol cans, and ecological disposal of materials. You'll leave with a full safety checklist to use in your own school projects.

How long does the professional development session last?

The training typically lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. We’ve found this is the 'sweet spot' for covering the history of street art, mastering basic techniques, and completing a full-scale collaborative piece. It gives you enough hands-on time to feel confident with the spray can while leaving plenty of room for Q&A regarding curriculum integration and classroom management during creative sessions.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need! This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, various nozzles (caps), protective gear, and large-scale practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take home. You just need to wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'artistic' dust on!

Will I get a certificate or accreditation after the session?

Yes, we do! After completing the training, you will receive a certificate of participation from Graffitifun. This serves as proof of your professional development in urban arts education. Many teachers use this towards their annual CPD (Continuing Professional Development) requirements. It’s a great way to show your school board that you are bringing innovative, modern techniques into the art department.

Can the training take place at our school or a local Rotterdam location?

We are very flexible! We can host your training at one of our vibrant Hall of Fame locations in Rotterdam for an authentic experience, or we can bring the entire setup to your school premises. If we come to you, we just need an outdoor wall or a ventilated space where we can set up our mobile wooden partitions. Both options provide a high-quality learning environment.

Local culture

Rotterdam is arguably the street art capital of the Netherlands. From the iconic murals in the Witte de Withstraat to the legal graffiti zones at De Esch, the city breathes creativity. During your training, we often draw inspiration from local legends and the gritty, industrial vibe of the Rotterdam harbour. 🚢

Fun Fact: Did you know Rotterdam is home to the 'Make It Happen' brand? This city-wide philosophy is reflected in the massive murals you see on every corner, proving that in Rotterdam, art isn't just in museums—it's on the streets!

We believe learning in an environment like Rotterdam helps teachers understand the cultural significance of graffiti, moving beyond 'vandalism' to see it as a powerful tool for social commentary and community building. ✨
