Unlocking Creativity Across the Philippines

Following a unique Cannes beach takeover in June and a full-blown musical number at Canva Create in May, the Canva World Tour is the company’s most ambitious act yet. Fusing brand, product, and community engagement, Canva is turning a corporate roadshow into a movement built to spark creativity and unlock opportunity at global scale.  

As one of Canva’s largest markets, the Philippines is home to a thriving community of educators, entrepreneurs, and creators with 1 in 5 internet users in the country using Canva. Local tour activities are designed to connect deeply with these communities, inspiring them through training, workshops, and new product experiences.

• For Education: AI-powered learning sessions will showcase how classrooms can be transformed with interactive teaching, collaborative workflows, and hands-on upskilling.
• For Businesses: On-site and online sessions will help entrepreneurs and HR professionals alike harness Canva to strengthen branding, boost productivity, and create impactful, on-brand materials.
• For Communities: Nonprofits, creatives, and grassroots groups will explore how visuals can amplify impact, from turning data into compelling stories to creating on-the-go content with Canva’s mobile tools.

Maisie Littaua, Canva’s Country Manager for the Philippines, said, “The Philippines is home to some of our most creative and connected communities in the world, and Canva has become a tool of choice for millions here. With the Canva World Tour, we’re investing back into our community, empowering Filipinos with future-ready design skills, sparking innovation, and helping them share their voices with the world.”
