About Irene Schleining
Irene Schleining is the founder of "Whale of a Time", with workshops to provide an opportunity for both the young and old to model whales and other endangered species out of clay, and at the same time learn about the environment, bio-diversity and sustainability whilst having a whale of a time. Her passion and commitment for the community, nature, and art has carried her on a path to create a platform for an environmentally conscious community where people are able to strengthen their connection with nature, build on their artistic skills and exchange cultural ideas.
In 2007 a vision to live in a sustainable way with our planet has lead her to found Whale of a Time. Her passion and commitment for the community, art and nature has carried her on a path to create the Whale of a Time Community - a platform for an environmentally-conscious society, where people have the opportunity to strengthen their connection with nature, build on their artistic skills, exchange cultural ideas and get inspirations to take care for our planet.
Irene’s passion and commitment for the community and the planet reflects in her work with Whale of a Time.
Irene says that, “While working with Whale of a Time I feel I can devote my energy to support a worthwhile cause, participating in education for sustainability, community wellbeing and getting involved in conservation of endangered species and ecosystems, which all life on Earth depends on.”
People need to realise that
Everything we do
Has an effect on you
If we change
The way we think
We can change the world in a blink
You’re one
And I’m one
The world is where we all belong
So let’s be one
And let’s not make it two
Coz division is what hurts me too
So come and join Whale of a Time
Let’s all be friends with animals and plants too
And get your message thru
Have a whale of a time!
