  4. Basic Techniques: Practice 'fading', 'can-control', and creating clean lines on a practice surface under expert guidance.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have previous experience with spray paint?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is required! Our Cluj-Napoca training is specifically designed to take art teachers from 'zero to hero'. We start with the absolute basics of spray can control and safety before moving into more advanced mural techniques. Our goal is to give you the confidence to lead your own classroom sessions, regardless of your current skill level with a spray can.

What safety equipment is provided during the training?

We take safety very seriously. All participants are provided with high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective overalls. Our professional artists will also train you on how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor 'spray zone' for your students, ensuring that your future school workshops meet all health and safety regulations in Romania. It’s all about creating art without the risks!

Will I receive a certificate after completing the development course?

Yes! Upon completion of the training, you will receive a Graffitifun certificate of participation. This serves as a fantastic addition to your professional development portfolio, proving you have been trained by professional street artists in modern mural techniques, safety protocols, and workshop management. It’s a great way to show your school board that you are bringing cutting-edge art forms to the curriculum.

How long does the professional development session last?

The training typically lasts between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the specific package and group size. This timeframe is carefully structured to include a theoretical introduction, hands-on practice, and a final collaborative mural project. We also leave plenty of time for a Q&A session where you can ask specific questions about implementing these lessons into your own local school's curriculum.

Can the workshop take place at my school in Cluj?

We are totally flexible! We can host the training at one of our dedicated street art spots in Cluj-Napoca, or we can come directly to your school or community centre if you have a suitable outdoor wall or a very well-ventilated space. Bringing the training to your home ground is often a great way to assess the specific environment where you'll be teaching your students later on.

What happens if the artist is unavailable on the day?

We pride ourselves on being the most reliable street art provider in Romania. We have a deep pool of professional artists, meaning we always have backup artists ready to step in if someone falls ill. We almost never cancel a session, so you can plan your professional development day with total peace of heart, knowing we will be there to inspire you!

How much does the teacher training cost for a full department?

Our pricing is scalable to fit your budget, ranging from lei100 to lei220 per person. The final cost depends on the number of teachers attending and the amount of materials needed for your specific project. We believe in transparency and customisation, so we recommend requesting a bespoke quote to get the best value for your professional development budget in Cluj.
