We would like to share various astronomy education activities in a casual meeting just after the CAP2018, at Kagoshima, another lovely city in south part of Kyushu Island with late March beautiful landscape. We hope that in this meeting we will discuss the life long learning to link with the CAP community. We also hope that this meeting can be a great chance for local school teachers to communicate with international educators, Universe Awareness, and many other exciting activities.
