  Insight is now different, enriched even, but its goals and mission are immutable. Its main purpose - providing information - now rests on a newly formulated "code of ethics:" objectivity, accuracy, fairness. The whole EMTC Network is dedicated to the idea that the free flow of ideas, accuracy of information and good faith with the audience are the foundation of all worthy communication. Only on such basis can mutual respect and open dialogue be developed.

  The theme of sustainability pervades this issue. Drawing evidence from "culinary" experiments, Lee Davis retraces the evolution of professional training in CEE in "From Fast Food To Local Cuisine - The Next Generation in Environmental Training." In "An Endangered Species: TOT," Andrea Deri warns of the dangers of deficient preparation of training course participants, a major obstacle to sustainable education. In the interview, she reveals her beliefs and concerns about environmental training in CEE, and the Peace CorpsÕs approach to problems. Her message: learn, unlearn, change, be aware and take action now! For bookworms, professional trainers and managers alike, the book "Strategic Readiness - The Making of the Learning Organization" by John C. Redding and Ralph F. Catalanello, holds the stage. Miroslav Chodak has selected for us its most illustrative passages in his article, "The Call for Learning Organizations - Redesigning Training Organizations for the 21st Century." So if you want to learn faster, improve continuously and make it to the top, read on!

  Although Insight has grown, it has not yet reached maturity. But it will certainly thrive on the participation of a critical and responsive readership. Especially as we believe that outside opinion is invaluable. So you are invited to voice your opinions and grievances, share information and expertise, in letters, essay, articles... and we are open to new forms.

  One of the priorities for establishing Insight's foundations is building an editorial board. Therefore, we are now in the process of gathering key experts and potential members.

  So here is Insight for you to read, enjoy, learn from, and hopefully, gain a deeper "insight" into the world of environmental training.
