<![CDATA[This community service article reports a training program on creating interactive learning media using Canva to enhance adolescents’ learning creativity in Padang Lariang Barat, Padang Pariaman Regency, held on 5 July 2026. The activity responded to a practical gap in which many adolescents were familiar with digital devices but had not yet used them productively for learning, while conventional learning materials in the community tended to be less engaging. The program aimed to equip participants with simple digital design skills so they could produce attractive learning media and use technology more creatively for educational purposes. The training employed a participatory workshop approach through short explanations, live demonstrations, guided practice, and presentation of participants’ work. The participants were local adolescents, while the setting was Padang Lariang Barat and the instruments used included observation, practice sheets, and simple evaluation through participant responses and final products. The main results showed that participants were enthusiastic, more confident in using Canva, and able to create basic interactive learning media with improved layout, color use, and visual arrangement. The program contributed by providing a low-cost and easily replicated digital literacy model that supports youth empowerment and strengthens the use of appropriate educational technology in local learning contexts. In conclusion, Canva-based training proved to be a practical and relevant strategy for fostering adolescents’ creativity and encouraging more active, productive, and technology-oriented learning habits.]]>
