This is a very interesting project. I wouldn't qualify since I've been working as a web developer for several years. But I'd love to see something like this in my home country (Republic of Georgia).

I wonder if it's possible to do it without any teaching experience?

I am a teacher and I have been involved with teacher training in the UK at College and University level.

If you have been working with others as a Web developer, you will have acquired coaching skills and the ability to explain technical information.

I would suggest that you start with small groups of people (4 to 6) in a local coffee bar gain experience as to the things they find difficult by using materials easily available in the appropriate language.

A couple of workshops will give you an idea of what you need to focus on.

Basically, start and iterate. I hope the OP posts their materials as I think this is a nice idea to start in other cities.

Like you, I have no teaching experience, but have been working as a web developer and project manager for many years before taking this project on. I encourage you to give it a go. A really good way to start is to organise Coursera meetups (http://www.meetup.com/Coursera/), which is what I did last year and where I got the idea for starting "Founders & Coders".
