Prior to the FIFA World Cup 2022, Qatar Foundation launched several projects to use sports as a catalyst for social change. In this episode, GUQ Professor Danyel Reiche spoke to Alexandra Chalat, Director of Community Engagement at Qatar Foundation and a legacy strategist, about Qatar Foundation’s World Cup program and examples of impactful QF projects. Chalat leads on projects that will use the World Cup as a platform to enable disruptive education, sustainability, innovation and social progress, aiming to achieve the Qatar National Vision 2030 and contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This includes addressing issues such as women and girls’ empowerment through football and coaching training; developing volunteer programs; activating QF’s dynamic campus, Education City, through socially progressive and sustainable events; and developing the strategy legacy plan for Education City Stadium.
