We want to do our duty as outlined in the Mozilla Manifesto: Ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. That means teaching web literacy to more people in more places. It also means asking hard questions about what an ‘inclusive Internet’ really means. We need to actively address the challenges faced by people who don't yet feel they are welcome on the Web. And we mean to do this at the festival.
Over two venues we will host workshops, exhibitions, games, and talks focused on creating, sustaining and empowering a more open and healthier Internet through connecting people from all corners of the web to connect, share and collaborate.

===MozFest SpacesWeekend=== '''Where:''' MozFest weekend takes place at Ravenbourne University, 6 Penrose Way, London SE10 0EW. Ravensbourne University London (formerly Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication) is a digital media and design university, with vocational courses in fashion, television and broadcasting, interactive product design, graphic design, animation and music production for media and sound design. MozFest weekend takes over the entire 9 floors for 3 full days.* '''When:''' MozFest Weekend will be open Friday 26th - Sunday 28th October. MozFest weekend is build around Spaces , which are physical and thematic learning hubs based around a broad topic.
In 2018 we have 6 spaces which people can submit sessions proposals under. They are;
** ''Space Wranglers: David Bild, Mariano Blejman, Dennis Ndegwa, Princiya Sequeira, Marcos Vital, Stephanie Wright, Yo Yehudi''
<br>
*'''DecentralizationDecentralisation''' - In this parallel dimension, people self-organise into open groups that create art, write code, and even build cities. Journey to a new world and bring back powerful, resilient technology; explore radical, paradigm-shifting ideas; and take part in cutting-edge discourse. ** ''Space Wranglers:Mark Boas, Kade Morton, Natasha Pillai, Ross Schulman, Tendai Tirivanhu''
<br>
*'''Web Literacy''' - In the Web Literacy space, we'll help you understand and harness the power of today’s Internet. Whether you're a new user just starting to use the web or are a power user who's always online, you'll learn something new in this space. We'll help you understand the importance of controlling your data, and how it relates to your online experience.

====Experiences====
Experiences are artworks, exhibits, activities and interactions that bridge Spaces by weaving together many of the themes present at the festival.
Queering MozFest is and experience across the main six spaces, where we explore how Internet issues intersect with our gender and our sexuality. Drawing on a queer perspective, we will reflect on the relationships between technology and the processes of normalisation and marginalisation.
