About
The Inter Faith Week for Schools initiative is developed and delivered by the Faith & Belief Forum, to support schools, with clear, high quality resources and ideas to celebrate the diversity of their school community during Inter Faith Week.
This website is designed, with expert RE partners, to help you celebrate IFW in your school. Whether you're an experienced teacher of RE, a teacher with another specialist, or you want to mark IFW in another subject: we have resources, events, and competitions for you.
The initiative would not be possible without the RE Partners, who supplied resources and support.
The Inter Faith Week for Schools initiative is a part of the wider Inter Faith Week 2026 delivery , lead in partnership between the Faith & Belief Forum and United Religions Initiative UK, supported by the National Steering Group for Inter Faith Week 2026.
