Comunidad

Mozilla Festival is not just an annual date on the calendar. It's a collaborative community taking action on the issues that matter most all-year long.

Facilitators

Facilitators are ambassadors of the festival, leading sessions that explore various themes. They act as champions of the festival, bringing their work to the Mozilla Festival community to share, develop, and connect with others passionate about Internet Health and Trustworthy AI.

Becoming a Facilitator starts with a proposal: after thinking about an idea you want to explore at Mozilla Festival and submitting a session to our call-for-proposals (CFP). Once your idea gets the green light, you'll collaborate with the Wranglers and the Mozilla Festival Team, who will help you craft an inclusive and impactful session to share at Mozilla Festival.
