Do I need previous graffiti experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our teacher training is specifically designed to be accessible for everyone, regardless of prior artistic experience. We focus on teaching you the foundational techniques of spray painting and the 'rules' of street art so you can confidently pass them on. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control and safety, ensuring you leave with the skills needed to lead a classroom session.

What materials are included in the professional development package?

We provide everything you need for a successful session! This includes high-quality spray cans in a variety of colours, specialized caps (nozzles), protective gloves, masks, and coveralls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or practice walls and educational handouts that you can use as a reference later in your own teaching practice. Just bring your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes!

How do you handle safety and health concerns with spray paint?

The safety of both teachers and students is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure proper ventilation. During the training, we also cover the 'Graffiti Code of Ethics' to ensure students understand the difference between legal street art and illegal vandalism, encouraging a responsible and respectful approach to the art form.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Our standard professional development sessions for teachers usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for a theoretical introduction, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of hands-on practice, and a final Q&A session about classroom integration. We can also offer extended half-day or full-day intensives if your school or department wants a deeper dive into urban art history and complex techniques.

Where in Thessaloniki do the training sessions take place?

Thessaloniki is a city with a rich mural culture! While we often host sessions at our dedicated workshop spaces or partner studios, we can also come to your school if you have a suitable outdoor area or a well-ventilated space. Alternatively, we can arrange for the training to take place at a legal graffiti wall in the city to give you the most authentic street art experience possible.

How can I apply these skills in my daily school curriculum?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for boosting student engagement! It helps develop fine motor skills, encourages spatial awareness, and provides a unique outlet for self-expression. In a school setting, it can be used to teach colour theory, typography, and even social history. Our training focuses on how to manage a group of students with spray cans while keeping the environment creative and disciplined.

What is the payment process for schools and individual teachers?

We allow for maximum flexibility! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your session. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the training is complete. Following the session, we will send an invoice that can be settled via bank transfer or card. This makes the administrative process much easier for schools and educational institutions in Greece.
