This week a number of SDSS-IV and especially APOGEE-2 members have been visiting the Chilean Participation group of SDSS-IV. The workshop “Sharing One Sky”, hosted by the University of Valpariso, in Vina del Mar, Chile, provided the opportunity for APOGEE/SDSS-IV education and public outreach enthusiasts to share ideas and learn from the Chilean astronomical community about how to communicate SDSS and APOGEE science in Chile and around the world.

Many new colleagues were met, and we are confident that some wonderful EPO collaborations will come out of this meeting, which is hoped to be the first in a series.
