This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers delivering a unit that explores how beliefs can shape people’s lives and the different ways these beliefs may be expressed. Children learn about ceremonies, dress, diet, and acts of commitment and sacrifice through Christian, Hindu, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh worldviews. The video outlines how concepts like identity and belonging are expressed through both personal and shared practices, from naming ceremonies and religious dress to dietary choices and charitable giving. It encourages reflection on how values can be demonstrated outwardly, while reminding us that beliefs are often internal, complex, and deeply personal.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews scheme of work – beliefs. It helps teachers prepare to support pupils in exploring the significance of ceremonial and everyday acts of belief, while addressing common misconceptions. Teachers are encouraged to highlight that practices such as wearing a hijab or giving to charity are choices rooted in tradition, belief, and culture, and not necessarily obligations. By guiding children to reflect on a variety of lived experiences and personal responses, this video supports respectful and thoughtful discussion around what commitment means in both religious and non religious worldviews.
