Castellers: The challenge of touching the sky - Teaching note

Learning Objective

The case can be approached in class discussion as follows:

• Presentation of the case by the instructor:
  A brief presentation of the case that includes a summary of the Castells tradition, the history of the Colles, and the challenges and successes described. This will set the stage for discussion and help students understand the context and key issues.
• Workshop facilitated by members of the colla:
  Organize an interactive workshop facilitated by members of the colla discussed in the case, who will share their personal and professional experiences and provide a practical and enriching perspective on the challenges of leadership, motivation, and organization in building castles. Participants will have the opportunity to feel how a Castell is built.
• Virtual reality elements of the castles in Valls:
  Inclusion, to provide an immersive experience, of virtual reality (VR) elements that will allow participants to virtually observe and participate in the construction of castells in the town of Valls. This technology will help them visualize and better understand the dynamics and complexities involved.
  
  Peer discussion:
  Facilitate a discussion among participants to share their reflections and learnings from the case. This exchange of ideas will allow them to analyze different perspectives, deepen the concepts discussed, and apply the lessons learned to business contexts.
  
  Conclusion
  An immersive experience helps to solidify and sustain learning, ensuring that participants can effectively apply the lessons learned in their own business contexts.
