This study aims to optimize visual communication by providing Canva usage training to academic and program staff, with a focus on announcements and student communication. The engagement method follows a participatory approach and Service learning. Questionnaire results show a significant increase in confidence levels and graphic design abilities post-training. Positive social and behavioral changes are also observed. From a theoretical perspective, these findings are supported by visual design theories and service learning. Conclusions indicate that Canva training is effective in enhancing the quality of visual communication between educational institutions and students.
