Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join?
Absolutely! Our Paris professional development sessions are designed for art educators of all skill levels. Whether you are a classically trained painter or someone who hasn't picked up a spray can since the 90s, our local artists will guide you through the basics. We focus on building your confidence with the medium so you can go back to your classroom and inspire your students with newfound technical expertise and a fresh perspective on urban art history.
What materials are included in the teacher training?
We provide everything you need for a successful training day in the capital. This includes premium Low-Pressure spray cans for better control, a wide variety of nozzles (caps), safety gear like FFP3 masks and gloves, and large-scale surfaces to practice on. We also provide digital educational resources and lesson plan templates that you can adapt for your specific age groups, ensuring you leave with both physical skills and ready-to-use teaching materials.
How do you handle safety and health regulations?
Safety is our top priority, especially when you are planning to take these skills back to a school environment. During the workshop, we cover comprehensive safety protocols, including proper ventilation, fire safety, and the correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). We also discuss how to source non-toxic materials and how to set up a safe 'graffiti zone' within your school grounds or art studio to minimize risks for your students.
Can I get advice on how to integrate this into the school curriculum?
Yes, one of the most valuable parts of our Paris training is the focus on curriculum integration. We don't just teach you how to paint; we show you how to link graffiti to Art History, Social Studies, and even Typography. Our team provides frameworks for student assessment and tips on managing a classroom of thirty teenagers with spray cans—which, as you can imagine, requires a very specific approach to organization and discipline!
Where in Paris do the training sessions take place?
We are incredibly flexible when it comes to location. We can host your training at one of our vibrant partner street art spots in districts like Belleville or the 13th arrondissement, or we can bring the entire setup to your school or community centre. If we come to you, we just need an outdoor space or a very well-ventilated indoor area. We handle all the logistics, including floor protection and cleanup, so you can focus on learning.
How does the booking and payment process work?
The booking process is designed to be stress-free for busy educators. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. Simply reach out for a quote, and once we've tailored the programme to your needs, we'll get you on the calendar. Payment is handled after the workshop is completed, giving you total peace of much-needed budget flexibility. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go, so your training will never be cancelled last minute.
