What people wore

Home Sewing and Knitting as a Necessity

Due to a severe lack of fashionable clothing, many women sewed, knitted, or crocheted their own garments, often using the 'Vkus' pattern service to create outfits at home.

Music

Regional folk dances and instruments

Bagpipes are common in the Chodsko region, and the folklore revival also influenced the development of the Verbuňk and Odzemek dances.

Daily life

Structured after-school care and education

School-based after-school centers (druzina) organized student life outside of classes, beginning with mandatory homework completion and tutoring before moving to collective activities like sports, games, and nature trips. These centers operated throughout the school year and even during summer holidays.
