What will happen in your session?

Ongoing EU copyright reform will shape internet and users rights for ages. It will influence our daily internet experience, the way we share and create. But many people seem to be not interested in legal matters, even if they concern them. During our session we want to present the human face of copyright reform - the impact it might have for Mozfest participants. To encourage the conversation and dialog we have prepared three activities:

We have checked this approach on various festivals in PL and it worked;)

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

We want to help people to understand what impact will copyright reform have on they internet experience and to explain them, that EU reform is not a far away process, but something they can have impact on - all they need is some empowerment;) Moreover, proposed activities will help us in producing materials and evidences we can use in our policy work both on EU and Polish level - we need human stories and faces to fight for users rights.

Time needed

All weekend, as an installation, exhibit or drop-in session

Hey @natalia44 !

I'm one of the Openness wranglers team. We're still in the process of reviewing sessions, and we were wondering - if your session is eventually accepted, would you be willing/able to deliver in a shorter slot (e.g. 60 or 90 minute) rather than all weekend?

Background reason for asking: Lots of sessions have asked for all weekend slots, but our physical space is finite. If some sessions are able to run shorter we may be able to fit more in! 🦄

Hi @yochannah - I hope you have a great openness wrangler experience (I was one last year;). Ofc, if the only option to be present at Mozfest is to make the session shorter, we're happy to do so. But the perfect scenario would be to have a stand for a day only:)
