Image of Impact of the World Cup

While the World Cup is in Qatar, all our Year 7-10 students have had a lesson looking at the impact of the World Cup on the migrant workers who were - in many cases - exploited to create the impressive stadiums and infrastructure. Students read a Guardian article - linked here- while explored the conditions many migrant workers from other countries worked in. The examined how workers could become trapped, either through low wages, or having their passports confiscated, and were often forced to work in squalid conditions. Finally, we considered how our Catholic virtues related to our knowledge of the circumstances migrant workers are often forced into, and reflected on how individuals can help make the world a better place.
