Greta Thunberg returns to school after gap year

After taking a sabbatical after leaving college to defend the climate cause around the world, the young Swedish muse Greta Thunberg announced Monday to find the school benches.

“My sabbatical is over, and I feel so good to finally be back to school! “, the 17-year-old wrote in a tweet featuring a photo of herself smiling, backpack on her back and a bicycle in her hand.

She did not specify in which establishment – or in which city – she intended to continue her education.

11 weeks in the Americas

Schooled until June 2019 in the ninth year (the equivalent of the third class in France), Greta Thunberg often followed her courses at a distance that year because of her many trips.

While she was due to enter high school at the start of the 2019 school year, the activist announced that she would take a sabbatical year to go to the COP25 scheduled in Santiago de Chile then canceled due to serious social unrest and finally moved to Madrid.

Refusing to take the plane in order to limit her carbon footprint, she had ended up finding a place aboard the catamaran of a young Australian couple to return to Europe, after 11 busy weeks spent on the American continent.

There, she had scolded world leaders at the UN, met Barack Obama again, received the keys to Montreal and crisscrossed the United States and Canada aboard a Tesla loaned by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
