Digital Literacy, Sex Ed & Sexual Violence Prevention with Dr Giselle Woodley & Dr Sarah Vrankovich

Dr Giselle Woodley and Dr Sarah Vrankovich join Maddy and Winnie for a thoughtful and nuanced conversation exploring how young people learn about sex, relationships and consent in an increasingly digital world.

Dr Giselle and Dr Sarah are researchers working at the intersection of sexuality education, digital cultures and sexual violence prevention. As dedicated advocates at Bloom-Ed, they bring their passion and academic depth to the delivery of accessible and inclusive comprehensive relationships and sexuality education across schools, communities and online spaces.

Together, they advocate for strength‑based and evidence‑informed approaches that centre connection, curiosity, and pleasure.
