Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

No previous graffiti Experience is needed! Our Shanghai training is designed to take educators from 'zero to hero'. We focus on teaching you the fundamental motor skills, safety protocols, and artistic shorthand required to lead a classroom. Whether you are a classically trained fine art teacher or a primary school generalist, we provide the toolkit you need to feel confident with a spray can in your hand. 🎨

How do you handle safety and fumes in a school environment?

Safety is our absolute priority, especially in a school setting. Our training includes a comprehensive module on PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), ventilation requirements, and choosing low-toxicity, water-based paints suitable for younger students. We teach you how to set up a safe 'spray zone' in any Shanghai school courtyard or art room, ensuring you meet all local health and safety standards while keeping the fun factor high. 🛡️

How long does the teacher training session last?

Our standard professional development sessions in Shanghai typically run between 3 to 5 hours. However, we also offer intensive full-day masterclasses for those wanting to master complex mural techniques. We can even split the training over two evenings to fit around your school’s term schedule. Just let us know what works best for your faculty’s timetable and we will make it happen! ⏰

Will I receive any physical resources or lesson plans?

Absolutely! Every participant leaves with a comprehensive digital and physical 'Teacher’s Graffiti Toolkit'. This includes lesson plan templates, vocabulary lists of street art terminology, supply sourcing guides for Shanghai, and step-by-step project rubrics. These resources are designed to be plug-and-play, allowing you to integrate a graffiti unit into your curriculum the very next week with total confidence. 📚

Can you deliver the training directly at our school?

Yes, we love training whole departments! We can host your team at one of our vibrant Shanghai studio partner locations, or our lead artists can bring all the equipment directly to your school campus. Training on-site is often a great way to assess your specific facilities and identify the best walls for future student murals. We provide the boards, paint, and protection—you just provide the space! 🏫

What is your payment policy for educational institutions?

We believe in total flexibility and trust. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your training date. We want you to be 100% focused on the creative professional development. Payment is only handled after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are completely satisfied with the skills and knowledge your team has gained. It’s part of our 'Fun Guaranteed' commitment to the Shanghai education community. 💳

Local culture

Shanghai is a city where tradition meets a futuristic skyline, and its street art scene is no different. From the iconic (though ever-changing) walls of M50 Creative Park to the hidden gems in the Jing'an District, the city is a canvas of global influence. Our training taps into this local energy, showing you how to navigate the unique urban landscape of China’s most international city. 🏮

Fun Fact: Did you know that Shanghai’s M50 district was once a series of abandoned textile mills? Today, it’s the heartbeat of the city’s contemporary art scene and a fantastic place for teachers to find inspiration for their next school mural!
