How it works

Intro to the culture: We start with a quick 'Graffiti 101'—understanding the history and evolution of street art before you pick up a can.
Technical kit walkthrough: Get to know your tools. We explain the miracle of different 'caps' (nozzles) and how they change your line weight.

Safety protocol briefing: We'll show you how to set up a workspace that keeps everyone safe, focused, and clean.
Lettering & technique: Learn the 'Graffitifun' way of building letters, from simple tags to 3D pieces that pop off the wall.
Creative lesson planning: We sit down and look at how to structure a 2-hour workshop so your future students stay engaged from start to finish.
The 'Final Piece' challenge: You'll create your own masterpiece to prove you've mastered the techniques.
Pedagogical Q&A: We wrap up by discussing how to handle common classroom challenges and how to inspire 'the quiet kids' with street art.
Certification & Wrap: High fives all round as you receive your completion certificate and join our network of creative educators!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely! Our training is designed to take you from a complete novice to a confident street art instructor. We cover the fundamental basics of spray can control and safety before moving into the pedagogical side of things. It is actually great to learn the basics during the training, as it reminds you of the common hurdles your students will face once you start teaching.

How long does the teacher training session last?

The session usually lasts between 3 and 4 hours, depending on the group's pace. During this time, we squeeze in theory, practical can-control skills, and a mock teaching segment. It is an intensive but incredibly rewarding afternoon that leaves you with a wealth of new skills to bring back to your Arusha classroom or community centre.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to get started! This includes high-quality spray cans with various nozzles (caps), safety gear like masks and gloves, and the surfaces we'll be painting on. You also get digital resources and lesson plan templates to help you structure your future street art classes. Just wear old clothes you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on!

Is the training safe, and do you cover safety for my future students?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade paints and provide high-quality respiratory protection for all participants. During the training, we specifically coach you on how to manage a classroom environment safely, including proper ventilation and the correct way for students to handle equipment to ensure a fun, accident-free creative session for everyone involved.

Will I get a certificate after completing the training?

While we don't provide a formal government teaching degree, you will receive a Graffitifun Certificate of Completion. This serves as proof that you have been trained by professional street artists in the techniques and safety protocols required to lead a graffiti workshop. It’s a fantastic addition to any professional development portfolio for educators in Tanzania.

How much does the art teacher training cost?

Prices are tailored to your specific needs, taking into account the number of participants and the location in Arusha. We pride ourselves on being flexible and accessible. Simply use our online Cost Calculator or request a quick quote, and we’ll have a breakdown sent over to you. Best of all, you don't pay anything upfront!

Are group bookings available for schools or organisations?

Definitely! We love helping schools and organisations build their own creative hubs. If you have several members of staff who want to learn, we can come to your location in Arusha and run a private group session. This is a brilliant way to encourage team building while simultaneously upskilling your faculty in a modern, engaging art form.
