Canva is a powerful online graphic design package (at canva.com) that allows you to create all kinds of media, from birthday cards to posters and brochures to presentations, videos, websites, newsletters, and more. The group will follow the course in the free online book "Canva for u3a Groups" available at u3abourneend.com/canva. The course lasts for 12 sessions (6 months), and at the end of it you can join the Canva Projects Group, where you can apply your learning to a variety of practical design projects.

Canva is quite a complex package, and you should be reasonably competent with computers. Because Canva is an online application, any type of computer is suitable – Windows, Apple, Linux, or Chromebook, or it is possible to use it on an iPad or Android tablet.

The next Canva Course will start in April 2026.  The group will meet over Zoom.
