Face to Faith Schools Engagement Programme
Interfaith Scotland has received funding from Religions for Peace UK to expand our schools programme to primary and secondary schools across Scotland, including to remote areas.
We have trained speakers from a wide variety faiths to visit schools and speak about their faith and what it means to them. They can also speak on a theme such as peace, justice and the environment. The format of the sessions can be built around the needs and preferences of the school and could include school assemblies, classroom talks and interfaith days or half-days where pupils meet speakers from a variety of faiths in the one day.
A full outline of the programme can be found on our PowerPoint presentation: Interfaith Scotland Workshops in Schools
If you would be interested in speakers visiting your school please contact our Education and Development Officer, Sydney Switzer, at sydney@interfaithscotland.org
Scottish Interfaith Week Resources
Scottish Interfaith Week 2026 is taking place from 8th – 15th November. The week provides an opportunity for youth clubs and schools to put on activities to celebrate the week. A different theme is chosen each year and this year the theme is ‘Wellbeing’. We have created a video about our work and a resource of handy ideas for celebrating Scottish Interfaith Week. We also have classroom activities on the theme and a new schools competition for Scottish Interfaith Week. Check out the resources section of our Scottish Interfaith Week website at the link below.
Introduction to Interfaith Video
We have created an introductory video for young people looking at what interfaith is, why it is important and the work of Interfaith Scotland.
Ask Me Anything Video Series
Young people in schools across Scotland were invited to send in their questions to our young volunteers from eight different faiths – Christian, Jewish, Sikh, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Baha’i and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
This was made into a series of five shows with two volunteers per show answering the questions.
