Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Our art teacher training in Tamale is designed to be highly inclusive. You don't need to be a professional painter or a gallery artist to succeed. All you need is a passion for teaching and a willingness to get your hands dirty with spray cans. We teach you the fundamental techniques from scratch, ensuring you feel confident enough to demonstrate these skills to your own students once the course is complete.

Is graffiti safe for students to do in a school environment?

Safety is our absolute priority, especially in a school setting. During the professional development sessions, we cover everything from proper ventilation and mask usage to choosing non-toxic paint brands available in Ghana. We provide comprehensive safety checklists that you can use in your classroom to ensure that your students can enjoy the creative process of street art without any health or safety risks.

How long does the teacher training session last?

The training sessions typically last between 2 to 4 hours, depending on how deep you want to dive into the technical aspects. We offer flexible scheduling to fit around the busy lives of educators in Tamale. Whether you want an intensive one-day masterclass or a series of shorter workshops spread across a week, we can tailor the duration to meet your school's specific professional development needs.

Will I receive a certificate after completing the workshop?

Absolutely! Every teacher who completes our Graffitifun session receives a certificate of participation. This is a great addition to your professional portfolio and proves that you have undertaken modern, practical training in contemporary street art techniques. It’s a fantastic way to show that you are staying current with global art trends and bringing innovative teaching methods to your classroom in the Northern Region.

What materials do I need to bring to the session?

We believe in making things as easy as possible for busy educators. We provide all the professional-grade spray cans, safety gear, gloves, and protective clothing you'll need. We also provide the practice surfaces, whether that's large boards or canvases. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on and bring your enthusiasm for learning a new craft!

How far in advance should I book the training?

Our workshops are very popular, so we recommend booking at least 3 to 4 weeks in advance, especially during the busy school terms. However, thanks to our network of backup artists, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests. If you have a specific date in mind for your professional development day in Tamale, get in touch today to secure your spot on our calendar.

Do you offer workshops outside of Tamale?

Yes, we love traveling! While we are focusing on Tamale, our team also provides art teacher training in Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi. We can bring the full graffiti experience to almost any location in Ghana. If your school is located outside the city centre, just let us know, and we will include the travel arrangements in your personalised quote for the session.
