Bloom helps parents in Romania break taboos around sexuality and gender by normalizing age-appropriate sex education conversations at home. It is a stackable kit made of three physical parts: a voice assistant, thematic cards, and a listening object, along with a companion app. These elements provide tools and methods to help parents reflect on their own influences and biases, and support open, positive conversations with their children about intimate and sensitive topics in a safe space.
