One Tadhana, DICT Caraga hold free digital poster design workshop in Butuan
A four-hour hands-on session for small business owners and freelancers filled its first 25 slots in under two hours, and organisers say more free sessions are planned for 2027.
Small business owners and freelancers in Butuan City learned to design digital posters using Canva during a free workshop on October 24, 2026, organised by One Tadhana Inc. with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Caraga, according to Mindanao Times.
The four-hour session, called Digital Poster Design for Humans, was held at the Digital Transformation Center – Butuan through the company's Tadhana Skills Lab. The ICT Industry Development Bureau (IIDB) and Balangay Tech Tribe also took part.
Mindanao Times reported that the workshop was built around hands-on activities rather than a standard lecture. It combined basic graphic design with design thinking, which asks people to consider the needs of their audience before making visual choices. Organisers said the aim was to help participants treat a poster as a communication tool that tells people a clear message and what to do next.
The first 25 slots were taken less than two hours after the event was announced, prompting organisers to open a second batch.
The session was led by Owen Jaen, One Tadhana's chief experience officer, and Aldwin Roble, creative lead of The Brand Kolektiv and Diseño. "Digital design should not feel intimidating or exclusive to people with a creative background," Jaen said.
One Tadhana and its partners are planning more free sessions for 2027. Topics, schedules and registration details have not yet been announced.
