Malala Yousafzai and Greta Thunberg [1] met for the first time on Feb. 25. Thunberg was visiting Oxford University — where Yousafzai is currently studying — to speak with students about climate change, science, and voting, and the inspiring activists got to spend some time together.
Naturally, they marked the momentous occasion with a few photos. "So... today I met my role model. What else can I say?" Thunberg captioned a photo [2] of her and Yousafzai sitting on a bench. Yousafzai then joked on Twitter [3], "She's the only friend I'd skip school for." As prominent activists for climate change and female education [4], respectively, Thunberg and Yousafzai have acted as pioneers for change, and seeing them together certainly feels like a historic moment.
