engage (National Association for Gallery Education)

From 2008–10, Norma managed the 'Visual Roots' project, an initiative that took a fresh approach to the development of youth participation and skills development in the visual arts. The project offered visual arts venues the resources and support to implement accredited placements for vulnerable and hard-to-reach young people. The project opened new pathways for young people, offering new skills while developing their talents.  

She also conducted various research projects for engage, including the recent paper on Youth Led Practice in England, and was a member of the CPD Advisory Group. For more information, see http://www.engage.org
