Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a professional artist to take this training?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is needed to join our training in Cairo! Our professional artists guide you through the basics of can control and lettering before moving into advanced pedagogy. We focus on giving you the confidence to lead a classroom, regardless of your personal 'street cred' when you start the day. It is all about learning the process so you can share it with your students.

Is the spray paint safe to use in a school environment?

We take safety very seriously. All participants are provided with high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits. We also teach you how to set up a safe workspace for your students, covering ventilation, proper storage of pressurized cans, and environmental considerations. You will leave the workshop knowing exactly how to manage a graffiti session in an Egyptian school setting without any health risks.

Will I receive a certification after the training?

Yes! Upon successful completion of our professional development program, you will receive a Graffitifun certificate. This document recognizes your training in graffiti techniques and street art pedagogy. It is a fantastic addition to your teaching portfolio and shows school administrators in Cairo that you are equipped with modern, engaging, and safe artistic skills to inspire the next generation.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Standard professional development sessions for teachers usually last between 2.5 to 4 hours. This allows enough time for the theoretical pedagogical part, hands-on practice, and a final group evaluation. If you are looking for a more intensive multi-day program to master complex murals, we can definitely customize a longer schedule that fits your professional goals and availability.

Where do the training sessions take place in Cairo?

We can host the training at one of our vibrant local partner spots in Cairo, or we can come directly to your school or community center! If your school has a wall we can use, that is awesome. If not, we bring mobile practice boards so you can learn in the comfort of your own workspace. We are flexible and bring all the gear to you.

What materials are included in the price?

The training price includes everything you need. You get access to a wide range of professional spray paint colors, protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), caps/nozzles, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and a teacher’s guide that you can use later when planning your own lessons. There are no hidden costs—just show up ready to paint and learn!
