Birgitt In the 70-ties Ruth C. Cohn developed the Theme-centered Interaction (TCI) as a way for Living Learning. The principles are very near to OS. TCI: how to keep Me, We and The Task in an active balance? Me, We and The Task can only be understood in their total context. The way: make space open, create a dynamic environment and concentrate on a current, living, attractive theme. There are two major rules: 1) be your own leader, 2) disturbances or interruptions inside you (no matter whether they started from inside or outside you) always have priority. Most of her work is written in German. In English: "Living-Learning Encounters" in: Göttsegen G. and L.Blank, "Confrontations" New York MacMillan 1971 There is a WILL - World Institute for Living Learning
