In an age of rapid technological change, global migration, and shifting economic priorities, what does it mean to uphold the dignity of work and the rights of workers?
Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking webinar exploring the dignity of workers in the 21st century through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching (CST), current labour realities, and the growing impact of artificial intelligence on employment and human value. We’ll also examine a powerful real-world case study on migrant workers in the care sector, revealing the challenges faced by some of society’s most vulnerable—and often invisible—labourers.
Topics will include:
- What Catholic Social Teaching says about the value of work and the rights of workers
- The contemporary landscape of work: inequality, exploitation, and resilience
- The promise and perils of AI in the workplace: Will human labour be devalued?
- A deep dive into migrant labour in the UK care sector: justice, policy, and dignity
Meet the Speakers:
Raymond Friel OBE – CEO of Caritas Social Action Network
Dr Maria Exall – Honorary Fellow, Centre for Catholic Social Thought and Practice, Durham University
Clifford Longley – Journalist, broadcaster, and religious affairs commentator
Sir John Battle – Former Labour MP, long-time advocate for social justice and workers’ rights
Whether you’re a person of faith, a policy-maker, a student, or simply concerned about the future of work, this event will challenge, inspire, and equip you to think more deeply about what true dignity in labour means today.
