Felix Oberst honoured with the Science Prize

At the end of the international general meeting, the newly established Ruth Cohn Foundation Science Prize for the Promotion of Young Adults was awarded for the first time.

In his master's thesis, Felix Oberst combined Hartmut Rosa's resonance theory with the theoretical considerations of TCI to create a ‘resonance pedagogy’.

Prof Dr Margit Ostertag first gave a brief overview of the submitted works before Prof Dr Brigitte Mazohl gave a laudatory speech on the submitted work that was well worth listening to and reading. Ernst Schrade congratulated Felix Oberst and, as Chairman of the Foundation, presented him with the prize of 1000 euros. After a short speech of Felix Oberst the sociologist Prof Dr Michael Bayer spoke about the scientific connectivity of TCI to his own specialist field.

Our President of RCI international, Wolfgang Scheider-Pannewick, concluded the award ceremony with a witty greeting and then invited guests to a small champagne reception.
