- Student Engagement: Learn the medium that your students actually care about, bridging the gap between 'high art' and contemporary culture.

How it works
- Intro to street art history: We start with a briefing on the roots of New York graffiti and how it evolved into the modern street art movement seen in Budapest's 7th District.

- Safety and setup: Learn how to prepare a 'safe zone' for students, including mask fitting and site protection to avoid unwanted paint splatters.
- The 'first lines' practice: You'll get hands-on with the cans, practicing basic lines, dots, and fades to understand the muscle memory required for spray painting.
- Letterform and style development: We move into the 'writing' aspect, teaching you how to guide students through building their own tag or throw-up style.
- Collaborative mural project: Work together with other teachers to create a large-scale piece, simulating a real classroom project flow.
- Pedagogical debrief: We discuss how to grade these projects, manage classroom dynamics, and keep the energy high but focused.
- Maintenance and storage: Tips on how to store cans safely in school facilities and how to clean up effectively after a messy session.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?
Absolutely not! Our Budapest teacher training is designed for all skill levels, from complete beginners to seasoned painters. We focus on the pedagogy of street art—how to explain the techniques to your students safely and effectively. You'll learn the basics of can control and layering alongside your peers in a supportive environment, ensuring you leave with the confidence to lead your own classroom sessions.
What safety protocols are covered for school environments?
Safety is our number one priority. We cover everything from the importance of high-quality respirators and nitrile gloves to proper ventilation and 'cap hygiene.' You'll learn how to set up a safe workstation in a school environment, how to manage spray drift, and how to ensure your students follow strict safety protocols while still having an absolute blast with their creativity.
What materials or lesson plans will I receive after the workshop?
We provide a comprehensive digital toolkit and a physical 'Teacher’s Guide to Graffiti.' This includes lesson plans tailored to various age groups, history sheets about the evolution of street art in Hungary, and technical diagrams for different spray techniques. You’ll also get a certificate of completion to add to your professional development portfolio, proving your competence in this specialized artistic field.
Are the spray cans and paints included in the training?
While we provide a wide range of professional-grade spray paints and markers for the session, we also teach you how to source budget-friendly materials for your school. We discuss different brands, nozzle types, and even DIY alternatives like water-based sprays which are often better for indoor school settings. You'll leave knowing exactly what to order for your specific school budget.
How long does the teacher training session last?
Our standard professional development sessions usually last between 2.5 to 4 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the theoretical history, dive deep into technical practice, and finish with a collaborative mural project. However, we can also offer full-day intensive courses for those looking for a more robust accreditation. We are flexible and can adapt the timing to fit your school's schedule.
Can the workshop be held at our own school in Budapest?
Yes, we can definitely come to you! While we have fantastic locations across Budapest, we can also bring the training directly to your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated hall. This allows you to learn in the actual environment where you will be teaching your students, which can be incredibly helpful for planning your own future lessons.
How does the payment and booking process work?
We understand that school budgets can be tight, so we don't require any payment upfront. You can book your training date, and we will handle the invoicing after the session is complete. This keeps things simple and stress-free for your finance department. If for any reason we have to change the artist, we have a backup team ready so your training is never cancelled.
