Testimony is Education Scotland’s high quality resource to support learning and teaching in religious and moral education. This site illustrates how faith, belief and values can influence how a person acts and lives their life. It includes examples of religious and non-religious standpoints to show how people from around the world and in Scotland have been influenced by faith, belief and values.
New resources have now been added to the site including some BBC Class Clips that are relevant to the different sections. There are also additional video clips that will act as a stimulus for class discussion and debate. These can be used in conjunction with the text or adapted to suit the needs and context of your classroom.
