Description of Green Towers Castellers Workshop

A corporate activity to climb towards shared values

Greentowers Castellers Workshop

Get ready to discover the secrets of the Castellers, with this unique workshop.

A workshop to actively learn about human towers (castells) and work on their values: leadership, teamwork, commitment and participation, integration, trust and perseverance, communication and, of course, cohesion...

In this workshop, besides visiting the different spaces related to the history, workings and preparation of the castells, you'll be able to enjoy a permanent exhibition on the group's history, watch a 4-minute video explaining what it means to build a 10-storey human tower in the most iconic castellers square, and, of course, the most fun part: becoming castellers yourselves!

At first, participants won't know what the activity involves, thinking they're attending a talk. The surprise comes when, after the video, the Casteller informs them they're going to build a human tower together.

At that moment the gralles (traditional music) sound and the rest of the team enters as a surprise.

The team is introduced and you move to where the hands-on part of the workshop takes place, and after the explanation of the traditional clothing, all participants are wrapped in the traditional sash (faixa).

Then there's a game covering each part of the human tower. In the last part we explain the steps to climb up. Anyone who wants to try can climb up onto the castellers.

A different, motivating and fun Team Building activity in which tradition serves as a tool to strengthen human values within work teams.

And as a finishing touch, we can wrap up by building a 5-storey human tower. The pinya (base) made up entirely of the group, the second storey with two people from the group and a casteller, and the top three storeys made up entirely of castellers.
