The summer holidays are over, and school bells are once again sending pupils back to their desks across the Czech Republic.
For some children, this is their first experience of school. Others are returning as seasoned pupils who already have an idea of what the coming months will bring.
The feature invites readers to look back at their own school years, with the image of a child carrying a schoolbag and wearing knee socks setting a distinctly nostalgic tone. Readers can also share photographs from their family albums in a retro competition.
The prize is a book from the Jota publishing house.
