This text proposes to give a new meaning to the communicative friendship links, revealed in the enthusiasm that approaches learning in the interconnected practices, to explore how it can bring sensitivity and new insights to the process of human formation. It also seeks to investigate what are the possibilities and limits of friendly relations in contemporary times, supported by invisible wires, even from a distance. Friendship constitutes itself at the same time in a political, ethical, aesthetic and social space of different forms of perception, and it is a pedagogical action of dialogue and the construction of collaborative learning and training. Friendship as a possibility and risk, opening and overcome of the differences, freedom for the possibilities of questioning, thinking and reciprocal transformation, presents itself as a mediator of the educational processes and of the constant learning. There are certainly essential references of friendship that feed the knowledge by confidence based on mutual respect; hence the need to think education in a procedural relationship and dialogical of friendship in times of mutability and interactive networks. It is precisely from the links and expressions of friendship that would be creative and challenging to insist otherness opening, to insist on the meeting and on the possibilities of human transformation, for the changes of the conditions in which life is threatened. To investigate how are friendship relations today in their differences and dialogues in learning networks strengthens the debate about the meaning of the relationship educator and learner by creating bonds of friendship and affectivity, contributing to a more participatory education, unfinished and of formative collaboration.
