PROYECTOS SOCIOEDUCATIVOS DE ECONOMÍA SOCIAL Y SOLIDARIA EN LA COMUNIDAD AUTÓNOMA DEL PAÍS VASCO: UNA REALIDAD EN AUGE.

This research aims to situate the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) as an alternative to the capitalist economic system that has more and more weight and presence in the Basque socio-economic panoramaour public action space, in the field of socio-educational action as well. Specifically, our main objective is to analyse the reality of SSE socio-educational entities in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (ACBC). In terms of methodology, we would like to highlight the qualitative study through the review and analysis of 54 SSE projects in the ACBC during the period from November 2022 to March 2023, linked to social and labor insertion. The following elements have been taken as study dimensions: participating groups, areas of work, territory, geographical scope, volume of employment, permanence, source of financing, level of transparency, intercooperation and networks and movements for social transformation. Some of the results found indicate that, among other issues: economic projects with social purposes continue to grow and are resilient, more and more work sectors are covered, and bringing together these elements (economic and even environmental and social) is an opportunity for coherence and for a just social transformation as a means to confront capitalism.
