Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! This training is designed for educators of all skill levels. Whether you are a fine arts master or someone who hasn't picked up a brush since primary school, our professional artists will teach you the fundamental techniques from scratch. We focus on 'train-the-trainer' methods, ensuring you feel confident enough to demonstrate and lead a class of your own students after the session.

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

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. During the training, we specifically cover how to set up a safe working environment for your students, including ventilation requirements and proper nozzle handling. You will leave the workshop with a clear safety checklist to implement in your own classroom back at school.

How long does the teacher training session last?

The training typically lasts between 2 to 3.5 hours. This intensive format covers everything from history and basic strokes to complex layering and classroom management. We have found this duration is perfect for busy teachers—it’s long enough to gain real hands-on proficiency but short enough to fit into a professional development day or a weekend afternoon in Coimbra.

What materials are included in the professional development package?

We provide everything! You don't need to bring a thing. We supply the spray cans, a wide variety of caps (nozzles), protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surfaces we will be painting on. We also provide digital resources and hand-outs that you can take back to your school to help plan your future lessons and graffiti projects.

How can I integrate these skills into the National Curriculum?

Street art is an incredible tool for student engagement. It encourages teamwork, boosts self-esteem, and provides a 'cool' factor that traditional art sometimes lacks. In our Coimbra training, we discuss how to use graffiti to teach topics like social justice, urban history, and colour theory. It’s a brilliant way to reach students who might otherwise feel disconnected from the standard arts curriculum.

What is your booking and cancellation policy for schools?

We understand that school budgets and schedules can shift. At Graffitifun, we don't require any upfront payment for your booking. You can secure your date and only pay after the workshop is completed. Furthermore, we have a pool of backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your professional development session in Coimbra will still go ahead as planned.
