The term Entrepreneurship has existed for centuries but recently, at the beginning of the 21st one, it has reached its maximum diffusion understood as the aptitude and attitude of people and companies to face new challenges allowing progress and innovation, bringing them to achieve new goals of development in the advancement of any activity one can undertake1.

Bu the conventional understanding of the concept entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs is no longer exclusively associated with the promotion of innovation and productivity, on the contrary, it has been consolidated as a way to combat unemployment and social vulnerability, to create jobs for people who have some particular aptitudes to create their own companies and projects... These "other ventures" can also be considered as an object of sociological study and it is the way this Erasmus + project has worked in, applying it into Higher Theatre Education. 

We have seen hoe lately this concept has become extremely important in our society: in the media, in economic and educational policies, as well as in laws aiming to open new channels for companies through new ideas. At their head there are strong young entrepreneurs full or initiative and ground breaking ideas, which are laying the foundations of a new economy and that have, in turn, boosted self-employment. In Spain, especially since the economic crisis changed Spanish society a decade ago, as well as the concept of the business world. In every working field the “oneself made” way has been stimulated as a way for succeeding and the battered theatre professionals have not been an exception. More than ever, trusting on your own initiative has allowed young theatre makers to survive along the most difficult years of the economic crisis2.

The term Entrepreneurship has its origin in the Latin words in and prendere; from that Roman base, French language coined the novel term entrepreneur, which can be translated as a pioneer. Our century brought us a growing interest in entrepreneurial activity and the novelty regarding the previous stages was its clear and explicit reflection in the educational laws, which meant a definite support to this modern competence. At a European level a great boost has been given to entrepreneurship, and the publication of the Green Paper on entrepreneurship published by the EU (2003) was a prove of it: the conceptual foundations of entrepreneurship are developed there (https://web.archive.org/web/
