Mari's cup is found by Robyn

Well I am not so techno savvy, so unfolding the facebook site, following leads to my "notifications', I found Robyn's response to finding Mari's cup. How wonderful!
She had posted her response on Instagram. . .

I will just put the text here and then a link to her instagram post for you to link to

Never before have I been so excited and joyful whilst walking through Footscray station!! This little beauty was hiding in plain site whilst hundreds of people walked straight past it! The bottom of the escalators facing the Maribynong River. I was with my love and spotted it as we got on a crowded escalator! I was incompressible and told him to wait for me up top... I'd known about the project, so generous and thoughtful that I felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

thanks Robyn for your response to finding the treasure, it is much treasured by me, because I dont know the stories of what happens to most of the cups after they are placed.

and here is where Robyn found the cup hiding in plain sight

About: Message in a Cup

Messages and stories of learning in Footscray are collected and then written onto the insides of one hundred handmade blue cups. The cups are placed in Footscray during BluScray events to be found by people and taken home. The project gives voice to peoples experiences and understandings of learning and shares these ideas with others in the city of Footscray.

writing the cups

Here are four new cups from a variety of people.
The first one is from Maxienne who said:
' I learnt this morning at VU that 'ducks sit on still waters while their feet go furiously to keep them afloat' such is life. '

Here are the gorgeous characters on your cup Maxienne!

The Koala is the one saying such is life.

And then I got this wonderful email from Dorothy and her students

Hi Debbie
Here are 3 messages from M.Ed students. They are the creative work of dialogue in small groups through which students blended their individual messages.

Teaching and learning is the cloud-seeding to create intelligences and out of the box thinking. Jess, Kriti and Neha.

Education gives us the freedom of expression as every answer is right in its own way and is not a preparation for life, it is life itself. Gaurika, Raman, Angela and Shenel.

Education is an everlasting open journey to break the chains of colonial oppression. Crystal, Mankirat and Sonia.

It was a terrific process, reflecting on themes and questions of the past few weeks and elicited some lively discussion!

Cheers
Dorothy
