Expressing and defending beliefs
This Religion and worldviews video introduces teachers to the unit “How can worldviews be expressed?” and supports children in understanding how and why worldviews can change over time. The video prepares teachers to explore stories and news reports from a range of religions, including Sikh, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Jain worldviews, focusing on concepts such as freedom, identity, and protected characteristics. It highlights how celebrations and commemorations, like Bandi Chhor Divas, can express important beliefs, values, and struggles for religious freedom across different times and places.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – belief. It offers essential teacher guidance for leading sensitive discussions, addressing misconceptions, and helping children explore religious prejudice, personal beliefs, and respectful disagreement in age-appropriate ways, while developing empathy, enquiry skills, and an understanding of diversity within and across worldviews.
