Using Dilemma Discussions in Moral Education in Primary Schools by Chantelle Boyle

Moral education is most effective when based on discussions and debate (Kohlberg and Hersh, 1977) but that can often be a challenge in the primary classroom. Time can be a barrier to exploring moral education topics (Clanachan and Matemba, 2015). But even as little as 10 minutes per day can be beneficial to students’ moral development. In this session, we will explore the use of dilemma discussions where free video resources will be shared that have been developed from my PhD research.

Scottish Interfaith Week 2025 & Competition for Schools by Jill Stevens Interfaith Scotland

As we aspire to the safe and thriving futures we want for faith communities in Scotland, we must prioritise the education of today’s young people.

Festival events for Scottish Interfaith Week 2025 will explore the key priorities of Scotland’s youth: Education, climate, mental health, poverty and discrimination.

Our hope is to encourage young people to engage in the festival, learn about other cultures and meet people from diverse religious and belief backgrounds.

When we make space for dialogue and understanding, our whole society flourishes.

Find out about our competition for schools and ways to engage young people in the festival.
