From the granting of the aid, the young people have one year to use the 400 euros in cultural products or services. The Youth Cultural Voucher works with a prepaid card issued by the Post Office and that the beneficiary can have virtually on his mobile or receive physically at home.
With this card you can enjoy cultural experiences and products, which are divided into three sections to encourage investment diversification, with the following distribution: 100 euros for physical products, for example, books, press or records; 100 euros for digital products, such as digital press, podcasts or online video games; 200 euros for performing arts: theater, opera, cinema, dance or museums.
SHOWS, CINEMAS AND VIDEO GAMES, THE GREATEST CLAIMS
The Ministry of Culture and Sports is collecting and analyzing the data on the use of the Young Cultural Bonus, which will make it possible to find out about the cultural habits and interests of young people in Spain. Until now, purchases in specialized stores have been distributed, mainly, between shows, movies, books, streaming, video games and theaters.
Nationally, between November and January, a total of 377,539 operations have been carried out in affiliated establishments in Spain, representing a total investment of 15,057,498.71 euros in the cultural sector.
