The second edition of the AstroEdu-Fr conference (Astronomy for Education in the Francophone countries) took place from 9 to 11 November 2023 at the Pierre Mendès France High School in Tunis and at the Regional Training Institute (IRF) for the Maghreb-East region. Its aim was to continue building a French-speaking community in the field of astronomy for education, with the support of OAE and the French-speaking node (OAENF-CY) hosted by CY Cergy Paris University. Forty-five representatives from 11 French-speaking countries attended. The conference programme consisted of lectures on topics related to astronomy education and outreach and on current issues in astronomy, as well as small group workshops to enable the implementation and analysis of sessions with the active participation of all attendees.
