Fortunately for the Romanian team, the project coordinator, Ms. Iulia Manicea, is extremely good at identifying, selecting and then motivating students who had useful skills for the project. Obviously, a basic knowledge of English was required, but there were many situations during the project when participation was open to any and all students. For instance, in the case of both the logo and the banner contests, they were advertised in the high school, and many students submitted their creations. Generally speaking, when it came to both students and teachers, the criteria - outside language skills - were willingness to work and actually fulfill said project obligations. I think, all in all, it was a very democratic and all-round inclusive way of selecting people to participate at the project.
