This work aims to bring a theoretical, conceptual and normative discussion about communities of practices and knowledge management, as a challenge of democratization, institutional and social participation in public governance. To this end, specifically sought to answer that are communities of practice and what their objectives, by correlating them with the current of Legitimate Peripheral Participation. It is, therefore, an exploratory bibliographical research by hermeneutic method. In the results, it was possible to conclude that communities of practices arise when the institutional canon - that is, the manuals, norms and formally instituted training – are shown to be insufficient, inadequate or non-existent and that the objective of these groups is to deepen knowledge and experiences around an area of common domain.
