Teaching the Web to Promote Youth Civic Engagement

Mozilla Learning rallies and connects leaders who want to advance the promise of the Internet for learning in a networked world. This month, we’re rallying around our youth to encourage their voices to be heard in relevant local, national, and global conversations, while also promoting web literacy and 21st Century Skills.
Mozilla Curriculum Workshop – POSTPONED – new time will be announced soon

Join co-hosts Amira Dhalla and Chad Sansing along with invited guests to dig into this year’s Maker Party campaign around copyright and political action, especially in the EU. Guests include

  • Christie Bahlai, an insect ecologist who works on combining big data with open science to build sustainable agriculture systems
  • Mark Shilltoe, Director of Digital Learning & Media at Gems World Academy
  • Philip Harney, Technical & Educational Content Lead at Coder Dojo

Learn about the copyright reform issues at play in Europe and how they connect to – or might impact – your local community and others around the world. Help us develop teaching and learning materials that make copyright, open licensing, and public domain clear and compelling to learners wherever you live.
