The Bloom Programme was developed through an ongoing international partnership between The University of Cape Town, The University of Edinburgh and Naked Heart Foundation.

The Team was hosted by Dr Gala Morozova in the Edinburgh Futures Institute, a new futures-focused space for learning, research, and innovation at the University of Edinburgh for three days of intensive discussions and creative sessions. Dr John-Joe Dawson-Squibb from the University of Cape Town joined the meeting virtually.

The purpose of the meeting was to review the work done in creating and piloting the Bloom Programme, to work collaboratively on programme revisions, and plan the next steps for the upcoming pilot.
