This community service program aimed to foster the pedagogical competence of madrasah teachers through Canva-based interactive Media Training at MTs Nurul Yaqin in December 2025. The program involved 13 teachers and applied a qualitative descriptive method. The implementation process consisted of needs analysis, preparation of training materials, workshops on Canva features and interactive learning media design, guided practice sessions, mentoring, classroom simulation, and evaluation through observation and participant reflection. Data were collected using interviews, observation sheets, documentation, and feedback forms. The results showed that the teachers experienced noticeable improvement in designing attractive and interactive learning media, integrating visual elements, and applying digital technology in classroom instruction. Participants also demonstrated increased confidence, creativity, and motivation in developing student-centered learning activities. The discussion indicates that Canva-based training appears to support pedagogical competence development because it is practical, accessible, and adaptable to various subjects. Therefore, continuous digital Media Training is recommended to strengthen innovative teaching practices in madrasah education. The program also encouraged collaborative learning and strengthened teachers’ readiness for educational digitalization.
