In the words of the jury: "The project is deeply rooted in the research pertaining to second language acquisition and shows the depth of knowledge of its developers.Therefore it brings to bear all the aspects of second language learning that are pertinent to the target group.

Again because schools are being enabled to develop complete parity of esteem for all their pupils the consequences for building citizenship are obvious.".Intercultural and Anti-Racism Week
