Gear Mastery: You'll get hands-on with various nozzles (caps), spray cans, and safety equipment, learning how to manage kit for a whole class.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a professional artist to join the teacher training?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our training is specifically designed to take you from a total beginner to a confident street art educator. We start with the basics of spray can control and safety before moving into complex pedagogical techniques. Our professional artists will guide you through every flick of the wrist and every lesson plan adjustment, ensuring you feel empowered to lead your own classroom in Lubumbashi.

What safety measures and equipment are provided?

We take safety very seriously. All participants are provided with high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits. We also teach you how to set up a safe workshop environment for your students, including proper ventilation outdoors and how to manage group dynamics when using spray paint. You’ll learn the best practices used by professionals to keep the art-making process fun, creative, and entirely risk-free for everyone involved.

How long does the training session usually last?

Our standard Art Teacher Training session in Lubumbashi lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover both the practical 'hands-on' spray painting skills and the 'how-to-teach' theory. If you are looking for a more intensive multi-day certification, we can certainly arrange that! We are flexible and can tailor the duration to fit your specific professional development goals or school schedule.

Will I receive a certification after the training?

Yes, every participant who completes the training receives a Graffitifun Certificate of Completion. This serves as a fantastic addition to your professional portfolio, proving you have been trained by international experts in street art pedagogy. It’s a great way to show schools, community centres, or private clients in the Copperbelt region that you have the specialised skills to lead high-quality, safe, and engaging graffiti workshops.

Can we incorporate local Lubumbashi culture into the art?

Lubumbashi is a city of vibrant culture, and we love to incorporate that into our training! While we teach global graffiti techniques, we encourage teachers to explore local Congolese patterns, colours, and themes. We’ll show you how to help your students bridge the gap between traditional Congolese art forms and modern urban spray painting, making the lessons deeply relevant to the local community and the rich history of the Katanga region.

What is your cancellation and payment policy?

We understand that plans can change. One of the biggest perks of working with Graffitifun is our 'No Stress' booking policy. You don't have to pay anything upfront; payment is only required after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied. Furthermore, we have a network of backup artists ready to step in, so you never have to worry about a session being cancelled last minute.
