Why choose us in Rome?

Why choose Graffitifun for your professional development in the Italian capital? We bring more than just paint; we bring a proven educational framework used across Europe. ✨

  • Safety first: We teach you the strict protocols needed to run a safe, mess-free workshop in a school environment.
  • Master the tools: Get over the "fear of the can" and learn professional techniques like fading, cutting, and outlining.
  • No financial risk: With our "pay after the workshop" policy, your school's budget is always protected.
  • Expert guidance: Learn from real street artists who have years of experience in both public murals and classroom settings.
  • Italian context: We help you bridge the gap between Italy’s rich art history and modern urban expression.

How it works

  3. Mastering 'can control': Hands-on practice with lines, dots, and fills to understand the physics of spray paint.
  4. Lettering and design: Learn how to teach students to scale up their sketches into large-format mural designs.
  5. Safety and supervision: A dedicated module on managing a classroom of students with spray cans, focusing on ventilation and discipline.
  6. Collaborative mural project: Work together on a group piece to experience the team-building power of street art.
  7. Clean-up and disposal: Best practices for handling waste and maintaining a clean art department.
  8. Curriculum integration: A final brainstorm on how to link graffiti projects to your specific school curriculum goals.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely! Our training is designed for all skill levels. Whether you are a fine arts master or someone who hasn't touched a spray can since secondary school, we teach you the foundations of 'can control'. We focus on transferable skills and pedagogical techniques that allow you to guide students through the creative process safely and effectively, regardless of your personal artistic background. It's about being an inspiring facilitator!

What about safety and protective gear?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls. During the training, we'll teach you how to set up a safe workspace for your students, how to manage ventilation, and how to handle spray cans responsibly. You'll leave the session feeling confident in managing a group of students in a safe, controlled artistic environment.

Do I need to pay for the training upfront?

In the spirit of trust and quality, we don't require upfront payments for our teacher training sessions. You can book your training date, and payment is handled after the workshop is complete. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the professional development you've received before any transaction occurs. We believe in the quality of our artists and the value of our curriculum.

Will I receive a certificate after the session?

Yes, you'll receive a 'Graffitifun Certificate of Completion'. This document verifies that you have undertaken professional development in street art education, covering mural techniques, safety protocols, and workshop management. It’s a great addition to your professional teaching portfolio and demonstrates your commitment to modern, engaging art education methods that resonate with contemporary youth culture.

How long does the training session last?

A standard professional development session usually lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. This gives us enough time to cover both the theoretical aspects of street art history and the practical, hands-on application of paint. We also offer extended full-day intensives if your school or department wants a deeper dive into large-scale mural production. We can customise the duration to fit your professional development schedule.

What happens if the artist is unavailable on the day?

We’ve got you covered! We have a reliable network of backup professional artists. In the rare event that your primary trainer is unwell or unable to make it, a backup artist of equal skill and experience will step in. Your professional development is important, and we ensure that your scheduled session goes ahead smoothly without any unnecessary cancellations or delays.
