All interviewees confirmed uniformly - the project fulfilled their original expectations. Their satisfaction was proved by clear recommendations to leverage the project „Nultý ročník“ in the future of Waldorf School Olomouc as well as in other Waldorf Schools in the Czech Republic. The project „Nultý ročník“ achieves common interests of the school and parents. These interests are motivated by children’s needs which are in the centre of interest for both - school and parents. In a case of acceptance of the recommendations or finalizing of the project into a form of complex and compact document, the school can leverage it to easily address potential demand from other Waldorf schools as well as from the public. It can result as an increase of popularity of the project and last but not least it can help to boost the alternative education which is not still so popular.
