This Religion and worldviews video introduces teachers to the unit “What is religion?” and supports the exploration of how leadership, succession and authority are understood across different worldviews. It equips teachers to guide children in investigating key concepts such as bloodline, leadership and virtue by looking at how figures like Muhammad and Guru Nanak were followed and succeeded. The video highlights how stories, scripture and real-life examples can help children understand that beliefs and traditions influence how religious leaders are chosen, while also developing their own reflections on the meaning and purpose of authority.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – leaders. It simplifies complex ideas, ensuring teachers feel confident and prepared to help children explore diverse leadership traditions and respectful discussion in the lesson and unit below.
