Our Regional Group
Ruth Cohn Institute Berlin/Germany East
We are an association with around 130 members: TCI teachers and practitioners, TCI learners and those interested in TCI, as well as people who want to promote the cause of TCI. Its objective, goal, aim is to enable learning and further development with TCI through an appropriate range of events and courses and to support its implementation in everyday personal, professional and non-professional life.
Training Committee
The Training Committee (AA) of the Berlin/Germany East region is the point of contact for all questions relating to TCI basic and diploma training. We offer Trainee counseling – both at fixed
Support association
For Young Adults
The association supports young people between the ages of 18 and 27 in getting to know Theme-Centered-Interaction (TCI) and training in it at low cost.
TCI strengthens independent thinking, promotes social competence and qualifies people to lead groups – in education, social professions, business and voluntary work.
Foundation
for the promotion of young adults
The Ruth Cohn Foundation supports young adults who are interested in Theme-Centered-Interaction (TCI) and would like to be trained or further educated in it.
TCI stands for a value-oriented, democratic approach in which personal learning, relationships and cooperation are equally important.
Peer group
Participation in a peer group is part of Advanced Training in TCI.
The members of a peer group are at approximately the same stage of training, organize the peer group work themselves and give it a suitable organizational structure (duration and length of meetings, preparation and leadership, etc.).
The purpose of peer groups is to further develop individual initiative and self-organization (chairperson). This is why it was designed as a “sibling group” without a fixed leader. Participation in a peer group enables people to reflect on their own biography and promotes leadership skills.
Founding a new peer group
We are still looking for people to join us in setting up a new peer group. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to Marina Scheidler. We can then discuss together whether a focused region has emerged and when the peer group is ready to start.
