1.Mixed Student Team:  The repair of earth

Earth used to be one of the most beautiful planets in the whole galaxy. Every time a living creature from another planet glanced at its beauty it was amazed. What one didn’t know, though,  was that due to the vast distance between them and the earth, what they could see was a past version of it, before the human impact on it. One day, an unsuspecting group of aliens decided to visit the earth without imagining what awaited them. When they arrived, what they saw really surprised them since the earth was nothing like what they thought it would be. That really disappointed them and they challenged themselves to try and fix what had been damaged severely by human beings.

So, in order to accomplish that, they gave superpowers to Pingu, a penguin located in the North pole, and Berry, a really close friend of Pingu.

Pingu and Berry have known each other since they were but babies. They met each other in an   adventurous way... Pingu had been hunted down by a pack of wolves to a single corner. But then, a small polar bear showed the courage of his steel heart, chasing off any and all of the wolves that had been hunting Pingu down, thus saving his life. A rather unique start to a friendship that would last for a lifetime. 

The two friends became best friends in no time, as their shared the same passion for saving the environment. Although their mind was in the right place, they couldn't do all that much by themselves.

And so, they were pleasantly surprised to be chosen by the aliens as the heroes of earth. 

The aliens modified their physical capabilities all for the better, and they gave them one goal-to restore this magnificent planet as much as possible.The two friends were thrilled, jumping with joy as they could finally accomplish their goal. They immediately started helping folks, starting from their homeland and slowly but surely expanding. Even if it took a lot of time, they would achieve their goal of restoring the planet. And time it took. 

2. Mixed Student Team: Trashy

Once upon a time, there lived a boy who loved the sea very much. He spent every free moment at sea. In the summer, he would dive, play with the waves, look for places where octopuses hide, swim with a school of fish and be constantly fascinated by the sea and the wonderful sea creatures. He really wanted to become a dolphin, and thus become a part of the vastness of the sea that attracted him so much. Suddenly everything shook, he was rolling up and down, left and right. "Noooooo, stop," he shouted in a panic, until the tumbling stopped. After he came to himself, he saw that he was in the sea, and he saw various sea animals looking impatiently at the surface of the sea. There were large stingrays, dolphins, octopuses, shoals of fish, but also strange animals that he had not seen before.

 Everyone looked up impatiently! "What are you all waiting for?" he asked a nearby shark. "We're waiting for goods," answered the shark and then continued, "every day at noon, people bring us a truck full of all sorts of goods." There you can find food, jewelry, clothes of various models and sizes, various materials for decoration, but also for house construction. I'm sure you'll find something for yourself too!” said the shark and rushed towards the surface of the sea from where various objects started falling. Various garbage began to fall into the sea - plastic bottles, cigarette butts, plastic bags, flip-flops, corks, spoons - all this was dropped into the sea by a truck from the surface. The boy could nothide his surprise and anger that the waste was being thrown into the sea, and then he saw the fish swimming proudly with her new earrings that she had made from clothespins. 

"Nooooo! " shouted the boy when he saw the sea turtle deliciously nibbling on its jellyfish, which was actually a plastic bag. Underneath it, the single crab was all happy to find a new home - half of a plastic bottle. It seemed like a perfect home for him. "Don't do that," the boy shouted, "it's waste, plastic, it's not your food, it's not your house." You will get poisoned by it, you will get stuck in it, you will get sick!". The boy was trying to prevent the animals from collecting waste, while they continued to decorate themselves with various waste, to feed themselves with corks, cigarette butts and small pieces of plastic. It seemed like no one was listening… While the boy was impatiently trying to warn about theharmfulness of the waste, a sound started coming from a distance. The sound grew louder and louder, and then he saw a magnificent humpback whale moving towards him. 

This magnificent sight lasted only a few seconds, and then the whale disappeared into the darkness. After the whale had passed, all the garbage that had not already fallen to the bottom found its way into the stomach of this wonderful creature. The boy tearfully repeated if you want something badly enough, it will come true. If you want something badly enough.. and then he woke up from that terrible dream. From that day on, his desire changed. "I want to preserve the sea and life in it. That is my wish!".

 After that day, the boy tried every day to preserve the sea, every day. It was no longer just a wish, but his promise to the sea and all the beautiful sea creatures he met in his dream. He also assembled a teamthat helped him in his mission of preserving the sea and saving marine animals from garbage. One day, they rescued a fish trapped in a plastic bottle in the sea. After rescuing the trapped fish and other sea animals, they realized that these were not decorations, nor new houses, nor food, but only garbage that people throw into the sea. The boy worked hard to clean the sea every day. One day he found a crown made of recycled plastic on the shore with the name  Smećko  written  on  it.  The  sea  animals made  and   left  a  crown  for  the  boy  because  he helped  them  save  and  keep  their  only  home clean.

3. Mixed students Team: The Spell

Once upon a time there was a kingdom cursed by evil magic. Every 28 days the kingdom gave a girl and a boy to Mother Earth. No one knew why this was so, when it started, how, but everyone was aware that if they stopped offering their children, Mother Earth would be very angry and would destroy everything on her. And so, the people of the kingdom sent their children for the salvation of all until one day it was the turn of the prince and the princess. The prince was only 9 years old, and the princess was already a marriageable maiden - both had a lot of life ahead of them. The king was worried. How he would give his children - the most precious thing he had.

The father didn't have any choice but praying. Every night before going to bed he prayed to God for help. The night at on the 27th day after he prayed and went to sleep in his dream appeared a creature. It looked like a mix between peacock and swan. It had beautiful feathers and it was white as snow. The king, shocked and admired by its beauty, asked:

- Who are you?

The creature responded:

- You don't need to know human... I'm here to give you a present from The Almighty. Here, keep this amulet safe and be very careful with it. The amulet is very powerful. Don't let anyone touch it!

The poor father was anxious because of the words of the creature but he promised to protect the amulet and keep it in secret. The creature vanished immediately. The father got worried about the next day, but he

had hope in the amulet.

The next they came. Everything was alright until the advisers of Mother Earth came to take the princess and the prince. The father took his children, cared them to a safe place and prayed to the amulet. From it came a big green light resembling a portal. The father didn't find other solution but pushing his children into the portal. The children found themselves in a wonderful world. There they were met by the same creature that had appeared to the king. 

The creature took the children to Mother Earth, who was very angry.

- You people have always been like that! You forget who gives you home, who is your home. Now you also forget what you have done to this home. I am your home, Mother Earth! I give you the ground you walk on! I give you the water you drink! I give you the food you eat! I give you life!

-Why are you so angry Mother? What have we humans done? 

- You abused me, your home. Your carelessness has burned my beautiful forests, your pollution has killed the fish in the seas, the birds that feed on them and all living things where there was. You exterminated the animals, trampled the flowers. You have polluted the air you breathe with harmful gases, and this in turn has caused a change in the entire climate, causing floods and droughts, rains and heat waves, melting ice,

new dangerous diseases - all this has led to annihilation.

The children were in shock. What Mother Earth described was very different from what their kingdom looked like - it was very beautiful with many animals. Everything was as it should be - in harmony.

- And that's why me and you, the humans, made a contract. - Mother Earth continued. - You give me two of your children every 28 days, and I keep everything in harmony.

- Please, Mother, don't be angry with us, don't take any more children. We humans have already learned our lesson. No more destroying our home. - begged the children.

Mother Earth thought for a while and said:

-              Well, I agree. Take this green light with you. Give it to everyone. It will eliminate the crashes for now, so be careful - if you

start making the same mistakes again, I won't take pity on you this time.

The children have left. When they arrived in their realm, everything was catastrophic, just as Mother Earth had described it. The prince and princess immediately distributed the light to everyone. Everything disappeared - no more pollution, floods and heat waves. The curse was broken, and Mother Earth was no longer angry. The prince and princess told their father everything and at that moment the king swore that he would do everything possible to protect their home - Mother Earth.

4. Mixed Students Team: Super Polar Bear

 The polar bear, Carl, felt like the ice wasn’t the same as before and it was more difficult to find food. Angry with his life, he decided to go on a demand around the world. He grabbed his stuff, put them in a basket and jumped to his block of ice to start his journey.

 In the first stop, Hawaii, he found Joca, a seal that was very unhappy:

Carl     -Hey, what’s up?

Joca     -Help! Help me! I’m stuck in these fishing nets and I can’t get out.

 -What happened?

            -Do you know that humans throw trash to the floor? That garbage flows into the ocean and I live there!

            -No way?!

            -Yeah, they do. They don’t care and do not think about the consequences. I wish I could tell them.

 Carl continued his journey and stopped in Brazil, where he saw a Brazilian merganser poisoned by the pollution. He made a break to think of what he just saw. After thinking for a while, he concluded that the poor duck was poisoned by oil that humans spilled into his habitat.

 It was a shocking situation for sure. He continued sad and disappointed, arrived to Africa with a terrifying view.
