[Ftx-trainers] [FTX-coord] Thank you thank you thank you!

Hi everyone,

Just to add my belated thanks to all of the emails that have been going 
around. I so enjoyed working with you all and being part of the amazing 
event we created together so THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :)

There were lots of participants at the Forum who said to me and other 
AWID staff that they thought the hub was a great idea and one we should 
ensure is present at every forum from here on in! Participants were also 
really impressed by the work done at the FTX eXchange and hub that was 
shown throughout the Forum. The digital story and video at the final 
plenary in particular made people cry!

The AWID Board of Directors and the Forum International Planning 
Committee were also really thrilled with the FTX and the hub and are 
pretty keen for it to become a permanent part of any Forum. We have also 
had a number of queries about when the next FTX eXchange will be.

So, we have set a really amazing precedent and created a lot more work 
for ourselves in the future! Here's to working together again and to the 
next FTX!

Take good care and looking forward to the next time.
