Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join?

Absolutely not! This training is designed for educators of all artistic backgrounds. Whether you are a dedicated art teacher or a history teacher looking for a new way to engage students, our professional artists guide you through the basics of can control and safety. By the end of the session, you’ll have the confidence to demonstrate basic strokes and lettering to your own classes.

Is the spray paint safe for use in a school setting?

Safety is our primary concern. We use high-quality, low-odour spray paints and provide all participants with professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits. During the training, we also cover how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated workspace for your students, ensuring you can manage graffiti projects in a school environment without any health risks.

Will I receive a certificate of completion?

Yes, upon completion of the training, you will receive a certificate from Graffitifun. This certificate validates your participation in our professional development workshop and confirms you have been trained in graffiti techniques, history, and safety protocols. It’s a great addition to your professional portfolio and demonstrates your commitment to modern, inclusive art education.

How can I integrate these skills into my existing curriculum?

The training is highly versatile. We show you how to link graffiti to typography, colour theory, social studies, and even modern history. You will learn how to structure a lesson plan that moves from the sketchbook to the wall, ensuring that students understand the difference between illegal vandalism and the creative, expressive power of public street art.

What materials are included in the teacher training?

We provide everything you need. This includes high-pressure and low-pressure spray cans, various nozzles (caps) for different line widths, protective gear, and the surfaces we will be painting on. We also provide worksheets and digital resources that you can take back to your school to help kick-start your first classroom graffiti project. Just bring your enthusiasm!

Where in Innsbruck does the training take place?

We are very flexible with locations in Innsbruck. We can host the session at one of our established local street art spots, or if your school has a suitable outdoor wall or ventilated space, our artists can come directly to you. We often use mobile wooden walls which allow us to bring the workshop experience to almost any accessible outdoor courtyard.
