From 8 to 13 March we received the Swedish students, who had come to visit Barcelona, to learn about our traditions and to practice the Spanish language.
One of the activities scheduled in the program was a “Castellers” (human towers) workshop in our school, to learn a little about the story, the technique and what they do. The group who came to the school is called "Laietans de Gramenet", first we were given an explanation of the techniques used to carry out the activity and the types of castles they can build, after a demonstration they offered to teach how to climb onto some of the Castellers with their assistance.
The Swedes were quite impressed with the activity because they saw it was not easy. It was a good team building activity and we all learnt about this Catalan tradition.
