This article reflects on social entrepreneurship from the experience of the project SPEED – Social Processes Empowering Entrepreneurship Development funded by the European Commission between 2019 and 2020 in the framework of the Erasmus Plus Programme. The aim of the project was, through the relationship between universities and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), to offer theoretical and practical tools to the members of the participating NGOs in the framework of social and solidarity economy actions with the intermediation of non-formal education strategies. The main results of this analysis deal with the different ways in which, from the experience of members of Latin American NGOs, it is possible to problematise the concepts of social, solidarity and popular economy, as well as those of classical entrepreneur, self-entrepreneur and social entrepreneur.
