StartUp Europe -- a collaboration between the Lisbon Council and Telefónica -- hosted a Deep-Dive on Digital and Web Literacy in May 2013. Organised in partnership with Mozilla Foundation, the roundtable highlighted the need not only to advance digital skills as a way to respond to the unemployment crisis among Europe's young but also to give citizens the tools they need to become active participants on the web.

In this interview, Mark Surman, executive director of Mozilla Foundation, summarises his keynote speech in which he explained how the open nature of the Internet needs digitally-savvy participants who can actively shape its content.
