Story Transcript:

Sl: Ljubljanski grad je stal veličastno na vrhu hriba, zavit v odejo bleščečega snega.
En: The Ljubljanski grad stood majestically atop the hill, wrapped in a blanket of glistening snow.

Sl: V enem izmed prostorov, napolnjenih s praznično okrasitvijo, so se zbirali člani ekipe za reden zimski umik.
En: In one of the rooms filled with festive decorations, the team members gathered for their regular winter retreat.

Sl: Mateja, vodja ekipe, je imela srce polno upanja.
En: Mateja, the team leader, had a heart full of hope.

Sl: Zvončki na bližnjem drevesu so zveneli v taktih božičnih pesmi, a v njenem srcu je zvonil nemir.
En: The bells on a nearby tree chimed to the rhythm of Christmas songs, yet in her heart rang unease.

Sl: Želela je, da ta umik poveže ekipo, da se vrnejo močnejši in bolj motivirani.
En: She wanted this retreat to connect the team, so they would return stronger and more motivated.

Sl: Luka je stal ob oknu, opazoval vrvež mesta spodaj.
En: Luka stood by the window, watching the bustle of the city below.

Sl: Bil je skeptičen glede celotne izkušnje.
En: He was skeptical about the entire experience.

Sl: Vedno se je umikal pred skupinskimi aktivnostmi, a globoko v sebi je želel biti del te povezanosti.
En: He always withdrew from group activities but deep down, he wanted to be part of that connection.

Sl: Anže, mladi in sveži član ekipe, je nervozno premetaval papirje.
En: Anže, the young and fresh team member, nervously shuffled papers.

Sl: Želel je narediti dober vtis, a ni želel izstopati preveč.
En: He wanted to make a good impression but didn't want to stand out too much.

Sl: Ko so se zbrali v sobi, je Mateja najavila program za dan.
En: As they gathered in the room, Mateja announced the program for the day.

Sl: Luka je tiho zavzdihnil, ko je slišal za še eno team building aktivnost.
En: Luka sighed quietly upon hearing about yet another team-building activity.

Sl: A Mateja je opazila njegov odziv in se odločila za spremembo načrta.
En: But Mateja noticed his reaction and decided to change the plan.

Sl: "Sprememba načrta," je rekla z nasmehom, "poskusimo nekaj drugačnega in morda bolj zanimivega.
En: "Change of plan," she said with a smile, "let's try something different and perhaps more interesting."

Sl: "Na glavni dvoriščni prostor so vstopili z vznemirjenjem, snežne kepe so nežno padale na tla.
En: They entered the main courtyard with excitement, as snowflakes gently fell to the ground.

Sl: Mateja je pripravila izziv: izdelati snežaka kot ekipa.
En: Mateja had prepared a challenge: build a snowman as a team.

Sl: Luka je sprva okleval, a ob pogledu Anžetovega nasmeha in želji po sodelovanju, se je pridružil.
En: Luka hesitated at first, but seeing Anže's smile and eagerness to participate, he joined in.

Sl: Iz snežaka so ustvarjali nekaj več kot le belega možiclja – ustvarjali so zgodbe, smeh in povezave.
En: They created something more than just a snowy figure—they were crafting stories, laughter, and connections.

Sl: Sredi smeha se je nenadoma začela snežna nevihta.
En: In the midst of their laughter, a sudden snowstorm began.

Sl: Veter je divje zavijal okoli vogalov gradu.
En: The wind howled fiercely around the castle's corners.

Sl: "Notri, hitro!
En: "Inside, quick!"

Sl: " je zaklicala Mateja in skupaj so našli zavetje v eni od prazničnih dvoran.
En: Mateja called, and together they found refuge in one of the festive halls.

Sl: Tam, med starodavnimi zidovi in toplino kamina, so se znašli pred izzivom: uganka, ki jo je Mateja pripravila za trenutke, ko je vreme nepredvidljivo.
En: There, amid the ancient walls and the warmth of the fireplace, they faced a new challenge: a puzzle Mateja had prepared for moments when the weather was unpredictable.

Sl: Morali so se povezati, sodelovati in reševati nalogo skupaj.
En: They had to connect, collaborate, and solve the task together.

Sl: Tudi Luka je prispeval z rešitvami, ki so jih privedle do rešitve.
En: Even Luka contributed with solutions that led them to success.

Sl: Ko je nevihta pojenjala, je že tema zajela mesto, a oči vseh so žarele od zmagoslavja.
En: As the storm subsided, night had already enveloped the city, but everyone's eyes shone with triumph.

Sl: Luka se je obrnil k Mateji in z nasmehom pripomnil: "Morda pa to ni bilo tako slabo, kot sem mislil.
En: Luka turned to Mateja and remarked with a smile, "Perhaps this wasn't as bad as I thought."

Sl: "Mateja je v sebi začutila val samozavesti.
En: Mateja felt a wave of confidence within her.

Sl: Vedela je, da je mogoče povezati ljudi s pravimi dejavnostmi.
En: She knew it was possible to connect people with the right activities.

Sl: Anže se je zdaj počutil kot del družine.
En: Anže now felt like part of the family.

Sl: Združeni so ob kaminu zaključili večer ob kozarčku čaja in zgodbah, ki so jih delili.
En: Gathered by the fireplace, they concluded the evening with a cup of tea and the stories they shared.

Sl: Nazaj v pisarni so se vrnili z novo energijo, Luka pa z obetom, da bo v prihodnje bolj odprt za sodelovanje.
En: Back at the office, they returned with renewed energy, and Luka with the promise to be more open to collaboration in the future.

Sl: Ljubljanski grad, zavit v zimsko pravljico, je bil priča spremembam, ki so poveale ekipo v pravo skupnost.
En: The Ljubljanski grad, wrapped in a winter fairytale, had witnessed the transformations that turned the team into a true community.
