As she travelled around Europe in the weeks after the Swedish elections, Greta discovered that around the world there were many other people engaged in struggles like hers. This was not the only discovery she made. She also realised that she wasn’t at all nervous when speaking in public about the issues she was familiar with.

She wasn’t the kind of girl who enjoyed or was good at small talk, but she was very good at making serious speeches with a microphone in her hand.

Svante and Malena were proud to hear their daughter speak in front of hundreds, even thousands, of strangers, often in English.

It was also a bit surprising. In just a few months, they saw Greta change from being a quiet, sad girl to being a respected champion of environmental activism.

Greta’s courage and ideas spread quickly all over the world. Even in faraway Australia, which was literally on the other side of the world, many children decided to skip school as a form of protest.

While this was astonishing, what happened afterwards was even more incredible: the Australian prime minister – the most powerful politician in the country, himself! – officially asked the children to go back to school. On Instagram, Greta replied: “I am sorry, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, but we cannot obey.”
