Background

The project mainly addressed one of the common problems in our century which was increasing especially after the COVID-19 outbreak 'women unemployment-gender inequality'' and tackling this problem with ''creativity, creative economy and art''. Creativity has been high currency as an aspect of contemporary life. It has been becoming an essential feature of LLL as education was called upon to prepare people for a world that now is changing more rapidly than ever before. A growing level of inequality and lack of female representation increasingly characterized the world of work, resulting in a divide that was particularly pernicious during the COVID-19 crisis. After the COVID-19 outbreak, OECD reported that the EU economic balance shook and needed new strategies for recovering. ILO described the COVID-19 outbreak as the worst global crisis since World War II in terms of the rates of unemployment. The project also pointed out some important plans and strategies such as; UN Sustainable Development Goals of gender equality and empowering women in the labor market and promoting decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity, and innovation.
