Media Lab: Canva for Social Media

About this Event:

Join us for a beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop introducing Canva as an accessible design tool for creating social media content.

Using a free Canva account, this workshop focuses on building confidence using templates and simple design tools.
In this workshop, you will learn how to:

• Navigate Canva and understand what tools and features are available.
• Use templates, layouts, fonts, colours and elements to design a cohesive Instagram carousel post.
• Edit and enhance images using Canva’s Photo Editor.
• Add simple animations or GIF-style elements to bring designs to life and adapt content for social media.

By the end of the session, participants will have created a finished social media design and gained practical skills they can reuse for personal projects, small businesses, or community initiatives.
