Greta Thunberg returns to school in Sweden after year off Greta Thunberg is heading back to school after a year offSTOCKHOLM -- After a year off school to campaign on pressing for tougher action on curbing climate change, Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg says she's returning to class. In Sweden, high school-level classes are returning to classes this week. It wasn't clear which school Thunberg was attending. But the coronavirus outbreak has prevented the Fridays for Future movement that Thunberg inspired from holding its mass rallies in recent months, dampening its public profile. Thunberg was named Time magazine's youngest Person of the Year, and was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, which she didn't get.
