Seminar for Ukrainian Painter Trainers in Lviv, Ukraine

Practical instruction in the paint and the spray booth as well as using a graphics program were the focus of a training for trainers led by Andreas Tobias, master painter and lecturer at the Handwerkskammer Düsseldorf. The training took place at the Vocational Art College in Lviv. After defining and differentiating a customer order of their choice, the participants designed the painter's cabins in historical or modern style with various baseboard and crown moulding options, painting and rubbing plaster, paints and wallpaper. In addition, they made spray-painted billboards with the logos of their schools. 16 trainers from our project sites for the modernization of painter training in Ukraine from Kiev, Vinnitsa and Kharkiv took the opportunity of attending this weeklong event for the purpose of continuing education and inter-school exchange with their colleagues.
