MozFest House Amsterdam

Designing Towards a Better Future for the Web: A New Generation Brainstorm
2024-06-12 , Room F - Garden Tent

We invite Mozilla Festival attendees passionate about the next generation of the Web to join us in a participatory brainstorm, where we explore ways we can tackle 1-2 issues we face online today and design potential solutions to address these problems.

Proposed Agenda:

-Introduction + Brief History of Mozilla + Our Values

-Walkthrough of the Design Double Diamond + 8-Ups Exercise

-Explore the Problem: People will be broken out into teams by table to discuss one of the topics and important problems related to said topics.

-Find Ideas!: Based on their experiences and assumptions, teams can design/describe potential solutions.

-Share the Wealth: Teams will nominate 1-2 speaker(s) to summarize their chat (problems and ideas). Speakers will summarize these learnings to all attendees in the room.

-Hosts' Recap of Ideas + Closing

Sample Topics:
How has the tech industry not served you?
--How can we manage our relationship with AI?
--What do you feel are some risks and problems with social media?

Mozilla employees will moderate an facilitate discussion through the course of the session.

What we hope participants will take away from this group mindshare:
-More perspectives of how we engage with tech day-to-day, including Gen Z
-Increased awareness of the risks of non-inclusive tech
-A model to first identify critical social problems and then design and test solutions to address them.
