 All right, good morning from where we are joining. Okay, so my name is Diza. I'm there. Dana. And thanks for joining our event today. We use them this three minutes to give you a bit of introduction for those who are already in the meeting. We want to start early and then finish quickly. And we're actually requiring the session so we'll be making the video available later on. So it's not a waste of time. You just mentioned your name and then what you do. And what your organization does. All right, so I think I'll start first. By the way, can everyone hear me? Yeah, I can hear you can go ahead. Okay. So my name is. I'm the text chapter leader for Ghana. I'm a software developer by profession. And then I work with an angel. Which is the writing foundation. It's a social enterprise that helps to bridge a gap between the acquisition application for medication. So technically what we do is we engage young people from basic schools, and then help them appreciate the science and technology or in mathematics, they learn at a basic level with how they're going to apply it in the future in engineering jobs. And then I'd accept related jobs. So yeah, that's what I do. Anybody I'm going to do an introduction. All right, let me go first. Next, my name is Audrey Odugo. I work with Aspire Coronation Trust in Lagos, Nigeria. My organization is a grant making organization that will support non-profit across Africa with funding, but will also capacity building with knowledge and session and masterclasses and program services to help them build trust and ability. With them, I am the partnership and engagement executive and I run the volunteer program where we're internally at the organization. I'm also a cervical cancer advocate as well. So I'll be here to get some tips on how to use Kanabar. Thank you. Okay, awesome, awesome. Elisha, can you hear me? Okay, then let's just, not we can just kick that. So this is just going to be more practical than presentation. So there's just a brief slide to introduce the sub then we'll go to the platform. So it's going to be more interactive and more practical than theory. Okay, so what we're doing basically will be going through an introduction to using Kanabar. Then we'll do some hands-on design tutorials that learn how to create social media posts, presentations, teacher designs and all that. And then there'll be an additional tip or office. That's what, for instance, what Kanabar has to offer non-profit. So you realize Google offers some discounts on certain products for non-profit. Yeah, Kanabar also has such packages for non-profit. Yeah. Then we'll get to answer our questions and then we'll move forward. All right. So, so basically, as I said, this is going to be more practical. So the presentation is just brief. So Kanabar is an online design and publishing tool with the mission of empowering everyone in the world to design anything published anywhere. So graphic designers use it. So mostly non-profits like us rely on our graphic designers to create artworks for us. That is where you are calling your designer or your creative designer, you're not getting inside with him and you need another example. You're gone. So now we can do some basic design on your own using several different online tools. So, and then Kanabar is one of them. And the reason why we're talking about Kanabar is because they have, or they have passion for free speech, free software. So, and they offer an engaging package for non-profits, which is very fun and interactive. So, so why would you use Kanabar? Okay. So one, it's an online design platform. So online Photoshop, last week that you have to install several gigabytes of software on your computer and then having to get lenses and all that. With Kanabar, you don't need to do that. You just go on the web and create your designs online. They are saved online. You can access them anywhere on any device, whether Android, iOS, Mac, Windows. So what would I use Kanabar? Because it's online and you don't need any software. You don't need to install any software. Another reason is that Kanabar is free to use. So you can create several designs, several artworks free of charge. You don't have to pay for it. Then also you can create anything. So you can create your social media posts for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. You can go to edit your publicity videos, your fundraising videos, whatever you want to do. You can do it on Kanabar. So you can create virtually anything. You can create your newsletters. You can create your timeline. Virtually everything you're not perfect to require in terms of creative design. You can do it within Kanabar. And you don't really need any graphic design skills. So you don't need to be a graphic designer to be able to do that. And also the last thing is you don't have to start on scratch. So there are a host of thousands of already created templates that you can edit and use for your design. So many designs have created several different content on Kanabar that you can use or modify to create your artwork. So for instance, you want to create a social media post or you want to reach one for a project. You don't have to start from scratch. You just go on Kanabar and search for something similar, then edit it to your logo, your content, and then you're good to go. So when to use Kanabar? Okay, so use Kanabar for social media and post, as I said earlier on. So in terms of creating flyers, anything social media, maybe your graphic design, once you require a graphic designer to do for you to post on your social media pages, or maybe you have a social media calendar that your organization posts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. So you can create all those designs inside Kanabar. And the amazing thing is that you can actually schedule those posts to those platforms within Kanabar. So maybe on Sunday, you can schedule all your social media posts within Kanabar. Then when the time you set up, Kanabar automatically posts those artworks on those social media pages that you've certified. Then for marketing, okay, so as a non-profit, one thing that you might require from time to time is brochures and business cards. When you go for events, you have to give out your organization business card. So you can create your business card and then print it out. And then save and print it out within Kanabar. So you don't need to pay up a graphic designer or a creative designer to print it out. A graphic design, a business card for you. So within Kanabar, you can create your own complimentary card and then just edit it. So you can actually edit that form, your own design, or you can just use one that's already created. Then you edit it with your information and then print it out. So that's a fun thing about Kanabar. Then you can also be able to create your logos. If your organization doesn't have a logo, yeah, non-profit within Kanabar. Also, you can also be able to create posters, photo grids for events that you have for programs that you organize as a non-profit, or your fundraising events, whatever you do, you can just do all those marketing stuff within Kanabar. Then one more thing is you can use it for creative postcards and then invitation cards. So maybe you're organizing a fundraising event and you want to send out invitations without printing or e-copies. You can do those designs within Kanabar. So you can install the desktop or the Android or iOS app. So where can I use Kanabar? So you can use it on your computer. You can either download it and install the iOS Android and then Windows or Mac app. So there is a desktop version that you can install, which is very lightweight. It's not heavy like how Photoshop and then Elash Twitter or any other software is. It's actually still on the web, but it does have it on your desktop, just like how the WhatsApp web is. Okay, so then you can also use it online. So in this case, you don't have to install any app on your device. So you can just go into your browser and visit Kanabar.com and then you create your creative designs. Okay, so as I said, I think it's going to be very brief because sort of have more time to do some more practicals. All right, so I'm going to share a different screen. I hope I'm not too fast. Go ahead. Okay, so let me share a different screen. Okay, so when you go on the website, which is kamar.org, let me share the link inside the chart. All right, so over here, play football, you'd have to create an account if you don't have an account. So let me load out first. So on the first page, you'd have to actually log in. If that's the first thing that's in the website, so when you create an account, then it brings you to your homepage. At your homepage, when you go on the template tab, you want to see what you can do. So that's you can use social media. That's Instagram stories, Instagram posts, Facebook posts, Facebook covers, YouTube. Channel artworks, the LinkedIn banner. So this one provides specified dimension because we are floating the content to Instagram. There's a specified dimension. We are putting the content to Facebook. There is a specified dimension. So you don't have to worry about the size of what you're posting. You just have to select one of these options. Then, as I said earlier, when you're able to create a mutation card, Regimus, you can go to design t-shirts. Then you can be able to generate invoices, business letterheads, so many things. So you can do actually everything with Inconvert. So I'm going to take you through the interface first, then we'll move to the design. So the first step is where we are with our homepage. Then we have all your designs. That's where you see all the designs that you've already created in the past. So when I go there, you see the designs I have created in the past over there. Then over here, Canva allows you to collaborate. So these are things that have been shared with you. So this was shared with me from the TechSoup team. So this is what we use for the event. So I can actually use this to create another event. So if someone shares something with you, you see those things. Just like how you have in your Google Drive where you have shared files. Then you can also set things into folders. So I want to create a new folder here. And then maybe if you do more than one thing, maybe you have a business on the side that you create designs for. You have your nonprofit on the side and you have your personal portfolio that you create designs for. You can actually set those things into different different folders. Okay, then we have trash can where you can delete people. Then we have teams. So you can go to create people. You can both collaborate and work with the same design with other people. So you can add both your teams, maybe the organization, the other person that designs. Or you have a designer that works with you. So you have to add that designer to the team or anybody that's working on the design aspect of your organization. So I can go to add more people to my team and then they send my invitation and they join the team. Then able to see what is being designed and they can be able to contribute. Then so that is it. So we go back to our home. So first of all, I will say, okay, let's say you want to create an Instagram post. And we don't want to start from scratch. So we just select Instagram post. So there are a host of already created designs. So I can either start from a blank design or I pick inspiration from an already existing design. So what we're going to do now is I want to first of all create one with an already existing design and then create one with a blank design. So this actually Instagram post. So there are several different designs. You can actually also search here and look for something else. And then so I can look through and see what do I want. Maybe I'm designing something for a fun reason or I'm creating a code. So I would just look through and see what already existing design looks good. And these are designs that have been created by other people and are made available for free. Some are premium that you have to buy that in case the person wants to make money from the design that's already placed on the platform. And the amazing thing is that it also creates designs and then put them on the platform and make money from it. So that I can use to create something. Okay, so let's see. We are doing a design for Thanksgiving, which was yesterday. So there are a lot of Thanksgiving players and then Black Friday content. So let's see, I'm looking for, okay, let's use this. Okay, when you select it, then you can move to customize the template. So you notice that Instagram posts are 80 by 80 pixels. So I customize the template. Then it's now access to my items, whether or not I edit it. Okay, so when I come here, if I like the design the way it is, and I just only want to edit the content, maybe I might want to change the logo. Then when I select the logo, I go to upload. Then over here I can upload pictures from my computer or I can be able to even search for pictures. See if I can upload something. So, okay, I'm going to show you where you can get pictures from those relatively free pictures. One of the slides is pixels. So over here you can go to get nice pictures that you don't have to pay for. So they are relatively free images. So let's see, I'm looking for something related to nonprofits. So I can go to get pictures here and use. So there are thousands of pictures on nonprofits work that I can use here. So let me select this. So let's see. Okay, let's just use something delicious guy. So once I have it downloaded, I can now upload it into my design. So I cannot go to upload and then upload it this way. Then I look for the file and upload it. And then I can just drag and drop it into my design. So I can just drag and drop files into the view. So once it's done uploading, I can now drag and drop it to replace the image of the lady here. And there you have it. So once it replaces that image, and then maybe you want to change the logo. So let me see if I can find a logo for a design. So let's say I want to replace it with this logo. Naturally, it's becoming strong. If I want to actually delete what's already there by back the late, then it goes off. So it was just more than an image of the text before the logo. So it goes off. So now I can replace that with what I have there and then resize it. Okay. So that's it. If I like the size, welcome. And besides me decide to also resize the game. Okay. Then it looks like I did it. Then I want to change the text. So maybe I want to use a different. Okay. Let's change the website. So maybe a little bit of that becomes my website. I can drag it to reposition it. Then, um, uh, social media handle will be resized position properly. Okay. So then, um, maybe I'm creating a quote of someone, then maybe, um, let's pick a quote from, so I can just copy it. And then replace it with my what I have here. So if you want to paste and maintain the exact. Yeah. Yeah. You would have to use, um, controls and, and being or if you're using a mask will be up to command. She's been being good. That's the quote. And then, um, then, um, maybe you want to change the, um, what he said, what she said, when she said it or who she is or whatever. So yeah. So that's it. And then, um, you can change several different things like this, for instance, um, you can actually be able to change the colors to match your brand. So if, um, automatically. Once you've placed in your logo there, it takes the color team of your logo. So you can see the color team of the logo and then the dress, the patients wearing it. It's not going to pick the color team. So you don't have to now I'm going to look for your logo color team. So you can just actually pick them here and then replace them with what's already there. So yeah. So that's it. Um, design from already existing designs. Another approach would be so after you're done. Um, let's, let me show you how you save it. So you can either save it as a PAG, a JPEG, a PDF, SVG, or whatever you want. You have the liberty. I said something like you can schedule this to save, um, to share on your, um, media page. So if you link your Facebook page with your account, account, you can schedule this. More. So I would just want to download this and save it on my computer. So save. I might have to rename it something else. Yeah. So yeah. So that's it. Okay. Thank you for that. An image that I can share on social media. Um, so let's. See what we have. There's the image that we saved. So I can open that. Okay. The next thing will be to create a design from scratch. So maybe you have a design concept. You seem somewhere that you want to keep. In combat. So that means I'm going to be starting with. I'm going to close this. And then go back to the top. And then. A blank Instagram post. Okay. So, um, in creating. Design. Just like Photoshop. You need, um, element that, um, shapes to, um, when you come here. You can have access to. Um, whether you need it. Um, rectangle. Um, their graphics that you can, um, you can use photos. You can embed videos in your design. And you can, let me add audio. Into your design. So, um, let's see, um, we are creating. Um, a design with an overlay. So, um, okay. It's very simple. Let's. Look at a design here. That we can also duplicate. Uh, let's look for something. This looks a bit simpler. So let's see, wants to be kids. This is the design. So, um, notice that we have, um, I reckon go here. And then an image. So I'm going to go back. And then. I have my right hand go here. So, um, I would change this size. As a dimension. To what I prefer. And then add another one. Okay. Then, um, then maybe you remember that I want to, you want to add one behind the whole. Um, canvas. So, um, um, so this. Now needs to go behind. So I right click on it. That's it. Then I want to. So when you select the color pickup. Then you want to select which color you want to use on that. So let's say you want to use this color. And then we move here. Then, um, yeah. So we have that. All design was the first one. So it's still behind. I mean, I can still go back. So now let's change this color. She's a blue here. She's a blue here. And then this is where our image goes. This is our image goes and then, um, so let's go. Let's go out. Let's go. We are looking at this. And then. Then it would add your text. Add your own custom text. Or if you see something here that you feel like better for you. I just included. Um, design app pro meaning you have to pay for this. So meaning whoever did this will make money when you buy it. So you also can go to create your own designs and then put it on. For people to see and then use and buy. So let me use this heading first. So when you select it first, you can actually resize it. Increase the phones. Reduce the phone. Let's make it. Okay. So let's say one something like this. My first design. So let's say this was one. Maybe. When you do that, you can be able to change the color, the alignment. Both of you change the phone. If you want to change the phones or business, I can outcome on this top. Then it's open on the phone. So I can go to change the frontier. Um, most ladies are the phones I normally use. So then your phone is loaded. Okay. If I want to make it bold. I do that. I want to increase the phone size. I do that. Then. I can, if I want to bring in my image. Then, um, I can now go back to my uploads. And look for an image. Um, if I don't have an image that I. Have to go in. Yeah. Which is, um, I'm going to show you two of the side. I can get free images from. Um, the person I already said was. And then the second one. Is. On splash. So we just two websites and get. Free images that I can use in your design. So. Let's. I'm looking for a picture related to. None. Perfect. Let's see. This person works. Then I can actually download the image. And then. Add it to my design. Okay. So. Down with that. I cannot bring that image in. You know, I mistakenly click on something or so. My design. It's gone. It's actually. Up to the version where I go to. So if it's to refresh back. To go back. Maybe I've lost my design. Cause I went to different page. Um, I just have to go back home. So yes. As you work it safe. You always want to have a very stable internet connection. So it takes your way to, um, when you lose. You can still come back in. So you got to look at my design and come back and. Finish up what you're doing. Okay. So let's just add this. Then, um, go to the final part of the. Um, session. Yeah. Just a few minutes more. Okay. So, um, I bring in the picture. So it uploads. So once you play the image there. Or you drag and drop it. Okay. Okay. So. I bring in the picture. So it uploads. So once you play the image there. Or you drag and drop it. I close it into your design. So maybe I want to raise this. Okay. Then, um, once I place my stable, but once I place it on it. I can go to resize it. Um, to fit. What I want to do. And another thing is that you can actually. Um, set this particular image as your background. So. When you move. When you right click on the image. Um, you set it to background. That's the last thing. So now that image is not the background. So do you want to see the image? I mean, you'd have to, um, make this. Reduce the transparency of this one. Then your image begins to show. Yeah. Then, um, I'm going to import. Yours. The icons. Um, once website, I can get free. So many icons again would be. Last icon. I'll be sharing these links. In the chat box soon. So. Show me the icons and download them. So let's see a minute for. Facebook. I call. Yeah. So I, I prefer. Um, so let's see. Use. Like. This guy. I downloaded. So just like the same way you imported. Um, the images, you know, import the icons and add it to your design. So. One. Okay. Already. I think you got on my computer. So. I go back to my design. And then, um, we have those icons here that can. I can use. I can use. I can use. I can use. I can use. I can use. I can use. I can use. I can use these. I can use these. I can use. These, I can use with. With. I can use directly, so just. Um, add them to my design. Then resize them. So I resize. Add more if I want to. And if Twitter. So it's basically. Easy to create. Your own design inside Konga. Um, It's already 11 então. Instagram and then add a handle. So let's say I want to, I drag it here, I resize it. If the display looks too small, it can actually zoom in and then do your resizing properly and then you can zoom back out. Yeah, so then maybe I want to add a text. So once you click on the heading, it clicks into your design, then you can now come back and position it. You can also drag and drop it. I select everything and then reduce the font size to let's say 16, which looks too small. I increase the font size a bit. Okay, so now I can, align this properly. Then add this to it. You can actually reposition them to make sure you have the exact same speed between the steps and then come out automatically to help you do that. So that's it. And then you can change the color of this to say white. And that is it. Then you can change the text itself to let's say 32. Then, so let's see, this is what we wanted to create. And then let's change this. This doesn't look nice. Let's change something else and let's change our text. Okay, so yeah, so that's what it takes to design inside Canva. So you just have to have a design concept or create my existing design. You don't need any graphic design skills to do this. The last aspect of this presentation is, so let me come back here. So Canva offers you, as a nonprofit, Canva offers you a free version. You don't have to pay for the probation. So you get a probation for free as a nonprofit. Yeah, so you get a probation for free as a nonprofit. So I want to show you how to get the probation of the Canva as a nonprofit. So let's go, so we have what you call Canva for nonprofits. So if you have a nonprofit business or a nonprofit and you are newly registered in your city or your country or legally registered in your country, you are eligible to receive the probation for free. So let me show you that as the last thing. So okay, let me share this link on the website. So I'm sharing a link. When you visit that link, it can be able to subscribe for the Canva for nonprofit package. So share screen. Let me go back to that screen. Let me share my entire screen. So let me get here. Okay, so on that link, which I shared group now on the chat now. So Canva actually offers you, so the designs to meet with nonprofits in mind. So discover the easy way to create high impact Shabida graphics marketing material. So you get a premium version for free. So it's not like what someone would pay for as a nonprofit to get for free. So you get me to apply. So meaning you can do more or have more like using Canva. So you get the premium version, you can get to use everything on the Canva for free. So okay, so one thing that the free version limit is that you can you can go to credit levels, they can download transparent versions of your design that like is the background street transparent, you can go to do that. The prove version can go to do that. So once you get, so you're saying that our Canva for nonprofit program keys, registered nonprofits, social impact and public organization are premium Canva for free features, completely free for up to 10 members. So that means you can go to, once you are verified, you can go to add 10 people within your organization to use it. So add your name, your information organization needs to ask some questions about organizations, what you do in order in the next page. And yes, so once you apply the review application, if your organization is eligible, then you can go to get the subscription. So we have the, so before that, you can check the eligibility criteria to see whether your organization is eligible for it. So see the eligibility criteria that your organization needs to be registered, so registered nonprofits. So with a social impact organization with a mission consistent with a public or community benefit. So, and basically most organizations, what they do have public and community benefits. Then the third one is public organizations and government entities, assisting with public health. So the requirements, so the document they required depend based on the organization where you are coming from. So you just have to find your country and then, okay, let's say I'm in Ghana, what they need is certificate of NG registration from the registration department. Your articles and let's say somewhere like NG, you just required your certificate of NG registration. So you just have to look for your country and see what's required to, yeah, so that is it. So let me now share the link. That's the link to get the free images in the second one. And then last is where you can be able to get free. Okay, so I think that runs off a brief presentation for today. If you have any questions, you can just ask, you know, we'll see if we can, and we have any contributions to make. It's a community event, so we can just share your contributions. Any questions or contributions? To ask, then people who have done, is it kind of like a newsletter or like a webpage with Canva? How did it go about that? Okay, so okay, can I tell you do virtually everything inside Canva? Like I said, newsletters as well. So these are newsletters and I'm a kitten. So you can actually staff, as I said earlier, we can staff from online, or if you have a concept in mind, or you think someone's saying you want to do that, then you can do that. So these are the newsletters. So we are, we are towns of really existing design, something that's in line with your design, or you want to create something new. So let's say I want to use this because it looks a bit like shop, so, or if you have a concept and you want to duplicate, they can staff my blank design. So every newsletters have dimensions. So you don't have to really specify dimensions. You just have to just use an edit, you edit it. So actually can actually resize that. If you want a different size, so you can actually resize the document. So this is actually a newsletter, then I can now come in, edit if this is what I want. So yeah, actually can do anything inside Canva. I actually work with a lady who has a non-profit. They do chat online presentation, online Africa Foundation. And then for her social media staff, she does everything herself. So what I do for her is basically her website. So she handles all her Shevita staff. She does her own design. And it's a woman with faith and then handles a non-profit. Because you said sometimes a graphic designer don't have time for her. So she has a verified Canva account that can do virtually anything. Design logos, design newsletters, design flyers for your own events and everything. So this kind of releases you from depending solely on your graphic design, unless you need something more complex and complicated. To tell you, the more you practice, the more you become perfect. So you can just always come around and play around. And then, so you can actually install the desktop app on your PC. So yeah, this is the desktop app. So once I log in, it has every design already up on the web. You can have it on your phone, your Windows PC, your MacBook PC, or your iOS phone. So you can do designs on the go. You can be anywhere and then be able to create a newsletter and then email it. I think we've done a presentation already on e-mail previously. Any other questions? Any other contributions? Okay, I think Elisha and then if they can just share something with us. Yeah, names and then what they do. And if you're having issues, you can just post in the comments and I'll help with that. I'm sure that might be the obstacle. Okay, I think Mohammed might be working. Okay, any other questions and contributions? So we run in five minutes. I think I'm fine. Thank you so much. What desire? Thank you. You're welcome. I would have love to hear from Elisha and Mohammed but we don't know what that might be. Okay, I can't hear you because you're not talking. Your mic is working so if you speak, I can hear you. All right, so thank you very much for joining us today. We'll be making a recording available after the Republic event. Bye for now.
