Within the defined region – the Hodonín region, the town of Strážnice, such prominent personalities were selected (B. Hrejsová, J. A. Komenský, M. Kudeříková, J. Skácel and J. Úprka), who represent the region, those that significantly exceed it and have significant international overlaps. At the same time, the text should serve as a starting material for the didactic implementation of the given topic into school education.
