<p>There was good interaction and sharing of culture and learning the history of Malawi and Sweden. There are a lot of similarities on the family organization, food and some values between the two countries. We visited the old city of Stockholm, homes, restaurants and hospitals. There is diversity in way of doing things by the two countries but we could learn from each other the good practices that promote social integration. This teacher/student exchange visit should continue as it offers the two institutions to share evidence-based practices that would improve midwifery practice. There is a good collaboration between the two universities to work together on different projects and generate evidence-based information in high- and low-income countries that would benefit midwifery practice in different settings globally. Malawi should replicate a good conference on SDGs that involved students, staff, multidisplinary professionals to work together in collaboration to achieve the goals.</p>
