Abstract
Our article approaches nonformal education possibilities in cyberculture, understood as the present phase of multi-media civilization. The investigation aims at determining to what extent noninstitutionalized contexts of education, mediated by digital technologies and interactive networks, really contribute to developing a countercultural individual. The reflection understands this process as a daily experience influenced as little as possible by technical, economic-utilitarian, and bureaucratic-functionalist values. Our study is supported both by the theory of socialization and by the sociology of education. Based on the Transparency Hacker and Hacker Bus groups’ digital actions, our argumentation explores the characteristics, development, and pitfalls of the experience of political and critical education obtained outside conventional school environments.
