E D I T O R' S  N O T E

  Insight is here, but it has a long way to go to become what it is meant to be - a flagship of the profession; a publication that gives environmental training professionals real insight into what's happening in environmental training in Central and Eastern Europe. We at the EMTC Network would like Insight to be both a microscope and telescope for the profession by examining some issues with great precision and detail while at the same time looking into the future to help its readers see what's on the horizon. Insight should provide the knowledge and confidence environmental trainers need to do their work, and also to reach out and step up. In short, Insight aims to lead our profession into the future while leaning on and learning from the past.

  Finally, all this cannot be done without one important element - you! We look to you to become readers, users and authors, and together with your colleagues build this newsletter into a professional magazine. We believe this newsletter provides a golden opportunity to tap into what people in our profession are thinking and seeking and to share the aspirations, joys, and also frustrations that occur for those of us practicing this craft in countless organizations throughout the entire region. So, please welcome the first issue of Insight and help us make it the publication you need.

Sincerely,

Miroslav Chodak
