The Canva Workshop by FLO Tech Circle

FLO Lucknow, under the leadership of Chairperson Ms. Simran Sahni, organized a Canva Workshop under its FLO Tech Circle. The session focused on helping members build hands-on fluency across Canva’s core features, including templates, social media creatives, and presentations, through active, device-in-hand practice rather than passive demonstration.

Twenty members spent a Saturday learning Canva through practical exercises covering templates, social media creatives, and presentations. Senior Vice Chairperson Devanshi Seth mentored the session, bringing both her institutional experience and practical fluency with the platform into the workshop.

Canva’s AI tools, including background removal and AI-assisted content generation, demonstrated how design tasks that once required significant time or specialized skills can now be completed within minutes.

The session also highlighted the importance of brand consistency through font pairing, colour palettes, and Canva’s Brand Kit tool—simple but often-overlooked elements of professional visual communication. Social media creative design was identified as one of the most immediately relevant skills for members actively managing their brand presence online.

Presentation design was another key focus, emphasizing how the visual presentation of a business idea, pitch, or proposal can influence how it is received. By reducing dependency on external designers, women entrepreneurs can gain greater creative control while also lowering operating costs—providing a direct business benefit of digital literacy.

Impact & Outcome

More than 20 participants benefited from the Canva Workshop. The session provided members with immediately usable skills rather than theoretical familiarity. The workshop further reinforces FLO Lucknow’s broader AI & Digital Literacy agenda by building practical, tool-specific competence rather than general awareness.
