School of Social & Environmental Sustainability

The Holyrood Faith Debates series seeks to engage policy-makers, faith communities and academics in the area of religion, belief and education across Scotland.

By building a network of informed and engaged stakeholders, we hope to stimulate a more informed and consensual policy discourse about the role of religion and belief in Scottish education and public life.
