Susanne Haase
Editor-in-chief
Dear ipw reader,

“When I think of paper, I think of books and colour. For me, a world without paper would be impossible. I still want to be able to read printed books and printed newspapers, and hold them in my hands. And there is no doubt that we will always need handkerchiefs and tissues…I would really miss my passport which holds many memories for me”.

These are the thoughts of Elena Singer from Germany, one of the 13 finalists in the Print Media Technology Category at the WoldSkills 2013 competition that was just held at Leipzig, Germany.

In fact, it is important for this industry to attract young people and this event and Elena’s story clearly underline that this can be done!

I am wishing you a nice and inspiring holiday season!


Sincerely,
