Sažetak
The European migrant crisis, or the European refugee crisis, is a term given to a period beginning in 2015 when rising numbers of people arrived in the European Union (EU), travelling across the Mediterranean Sea or overland through Southeast Europe. There are many aspects of this crisis that can be explored. The humanitarian dimension, the legal-status, organizational, material- nancial, health, psychological, internal political, foreign-policy and security dimensions of refugee-migrant crisis issues can be addressed. This paper presents research on migration and refugee crisis aspects through social entrepreneurship projects. The number of people who dare to cross land and sea borders to reach Europe is alarming and is in constant growth since 2015. Only in 2015 the Frontex agency estimates that 1.83 million people crossed the EU border illegally. The European Commission, UNHCR and other organizations are promoting the generation of projects that enable the reception and integration of refugees, as this situation is critical for any host country, since they not only o€ er asylum to these newcomers but also have the responsibility to develop alternatives that help refugees become socially integrated citizens. Being faced with this situation they o€ er alternatives like Social Entrepreneurship as a key to  nding solutions strategy. Social entrepreneurship is thus a door that opens to facilitate social processes in which citizens share part of the responsibility in solving the crisis. The paper will present projects in Croatia and other European Union countries that include social entrepreneurship as a response to the migrant-refugee crisis.
