This article is based on a qualitative research done with five countercultural groups in Colombia, which intensively use information and communication technologies. The results are analyzed in relation to new ways to share and disseminate knowledge and new forms of social and political organization. They are comprehended as an expanded social educative practice. These technosocial practices are considered as ways of being resistant against dominant and homogenizing political and cultural models. They also show alternative forms of community and knowledge. Nevertheless, it is a novelty observed in relation to the power and inequality that exist in those collectives.

Keywords : Ciberculture; education; politics; community.
