Teaching spirituality and worldviews

This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers delivering the unit that explores the big questions: How and why are we here? and How can worldviews be expressed? It introduces key concepts such as the soul, inner self, and spirituality, drawing on diverse religious and non-religious perspectives including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and Humanism. The video also highlights the use of meditation, creative expression, and critical thinking to support pupils in connecting their personal experiences with broader worldviews.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – human. It prepares teachers to address common misconceptions, support inclusive and respectful discussion, and use frameworks such as stop, notice, connect to explain spirituality. The video encourages the use of disciplinary lenses and personal reflection, helping children explore diverse beliefs while developing their own worldview in a thoughtful, age-appropriate way.
