Mozilla Festival is about improving the web, keeping it an open resource and accessible to all. This year the festival is 6 years old and we wanted to re-imagine some of the festivals framework, connect with partners and friends to help build the narrative, create intension pathways for learners and design MozFest in a participant-centric way.

We brought some teams from Mozilla Foundation, partners and community members from around the world to a small harbour village in Fife, Scotland to help us forge a new future for the festival.
