Media Lab: Canva for Social Media

This is a Council led event.

09/06/2026 - Hurstville Library. 

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.
