Tutor: Today, you’ll step into the unknown, join a new team and collaborate with creativity!
Change is uncomfortable, but maybe I’ll learn something new…
The tutor announces that everyone must switch teams and collaborate creatively. I feel uneasy about leaving my original team but recognise an opportunity for growth. This shift is uncomfortable, but I remind myself that leadership requires adaptability.

Panel 2 – A Room Full of Contrasting Ideas
We should make something functional and structured.
What if we balance structure and expression?
But abstract art has more meaning!
I agree with Alex.
As I sit with my new teammates, creative differences emerge. One person argues for structure and function, while another values abstract expression. I suggest balancing structure and creativity, ensuring both logic and artistic expression are valued.

Panel 3 – Struggling to Make the Sculpture Work
Panel 3 – Struggling to Make the Sculpture Work
This looks awful. Maybe we should restart?
No, let’s work with what we have and connect the parts differently.
Frustration grows as our sculpture doesn’t match expectations. Someone suggests restarting, but I encourage working with what we have, adjusting our approach rather than discarding progress. Leadership is about finding solutions within constraints.

Panel 4 - Returning to the Original Team: Reflecting on What We Learned
Life on Landers (LOLS)
What did you learn?
Leadership isn’t about control; it’s about guiding diverse ideas into something meaningful.
That's true Alex, and that process thrives when we create space for collaboration, not just direction.
I return to my original team with a broader perspective on leadership. Instead of directing, I focus on fostering an environment where ideas can evolve through collaboration.

Panel 7 – Connecting to the UN Goal (Life on Land)
Desertification and Deforestation.
Because environmental collapse is both urgent and personal. People disconnect when issues feel distant, but land degradation affects communities in ways they can see and act on.
There are so many global challenges, why focus on deforestation and desertification?
And if we frame it around small, tangible actions, we make restoration feel possible instead of overwhelming.
We discuss why we chose deforestation and desertification over other global issues. These environmental crises feel urgent and personal, directly affecting communities. By grounding the problem in tangible actions, restoration feels achievable rather than overwhelming.

Panel 8 – The Late-Night Instagram Chat: Struggling with Engagement (Part 1)
We need something interactive, people might tune out.
Throw what? We can’t throw dirt at them!
What if we make them throw something?
I realise passive presentations won’t engage the audience, so I suggest adding a hands-on element to make it interactive.

Panel 9 – The Late-Night Instagram Chat: Struggling with Engagement (Part 2)
That’s brilliant!
That is fantastic, Alex!
Wait… what about paper planes? They can ‘launch’ their own seeds!
I suggest paper planes carrying seeds, allowing participants to "launch" their own restoration efforts. The team loves the idea, and we begin planning how to integrate it into our presentation.

Panel 10 – Testing the Paper Plane Idea (Part 1)
Some of these don’t fly straight…
The weight of the seeds is throwing them off balance. We need a better folding technique to keep the seeds secure while maintaining flight stability.
Maybe if we fold the tip differently, it’ll create a stronger lift?
We test the planes and realise the weight of the seeds affects their flight. Adjustments are needed to maintain both aerodynamics and function. We refine our design to keep the seeds secure while ensuring stable flight.

Panel 11 – Testing the Paper Plane Idea (Part 2)
That's perfect!
Let’s try this adjustment, if it works, we can use it as our final design.
That’s it! Let’s fold all of them like this.
After adjustments, the new design works perfectly. We finalise the folding method and prepare all planes in advance, ensuring consistency and reliability in execution.

Panel 12 – Leading the Paper Plane Seed Bomb Activity
Life on Landers (LOLS) Presentation!
Now it’s time to take action! Each of you will load a paper plane with seeds, aim for the target stage, and launch it to help restore the ecosystem.
On stage, I introduce the activity. The audience loads their planes with seeds and launches them onto a restoration model, symbolising their role in environmental recovery. Everything runs smoothly, reinforcing both engagement and leadership.
