Abstract

Meet The RECCO Crew is an illustrated book series that turns the abstract entrepreneurship concepts of Resilience, Empathy, Collaboration, Creativity, and Optimism into fun cartoon characters. This makes it easier for children to grasp and relate to these important entrepreneurial skills. Entrepreneurial skills are not just for starting new businesses. They help people to try new things, solve complex problems, and work well with others to create novel solutions. In our current fast-changing world that requires constant innovation and adaptation, entrepreneurial skills are increasingly becoming life skills for all young people. This story illustrates how individuals and groups can form social enterprises that are financially self-sustaining yet primarily focused on creating impact for communities and society. The RECCO crew works to bring together individuals and resources that allows them to create something greater than the sum of its parts. The ultimate purpose of the story is to highlight how economic value creation works alongside - and often to support - other forms of value creation that impact people, society and the planet.
