A total of 3,403 people born in 2005 have applied for the Young Cultural Bonus in Navarre. This is 48.92% of the 6,956 young people who are potential beneficiaries of the second edition of the program launched by the Government of Spain in 2022 through the Ministry of Culture and Sport.
Those who turn 18 years of age throughout 2023 can apply for the Young Cultural Voucher from June 13 to September 30, an aid of 400 euros for the acquisition and enjoyment of cultural products, services and activities. This program is open to young people of 18 years of Spanish nationality, as well as those foreigners who have legal residence in Spain, asylum seekers, temporary displaced persons and foreign people who are ex-guardians in the process of obtaining a residence permit.
In order to achieve this, interested young people must proceed to their digital identification through Cl@ve with basic registration (which can be requested and obtained by video call), Cl@ve with advanced registration (face-to-face and for those who have not yet reached the age of 18) or through their digital certificate.
They can carry out the procedure personally or through the representation of an adult, for which it is necessary to attach the downloadable representation form on the website, correctly signed by beneficiary and representative. In these cases, the family book is not a document accrediting the representation.
About the Young Cultural Bonus
From the granting of the aid, the beneficiaries have one year to use the 400 euros in cultural products or services in the affiliated establishments, which already exceed 3,000 throughout Spain. The Young Cultural Voucher works with a prepaid card that beneficiaries can have in virtual format on their mobile device or in physical format that they will receive at their home or address indicated in the application. With this card they can enjoy cultural experiences and products, which are divided into three sections to favor diversification between the different cultural sectors, with the following distribution:
- 100 euros for physical products, for example, books, press or discs.
- 100 euros for digital products, such as digital press, podcast, online video games and virtual platforms.
- 200 euros for live arts: theater, opera, cinema, dance, museums or bullfighting shows.
The objective of the Ministry of Culture and Sport with this initiative has a double meaning: on the one hand, it shows the interest of a wide spectrum of the young Spanish population for culture, which this initiative helps to build loyalty as a public and cultural consumer for the future; and, on the other hand, it offers additional support to the cultural sector to recover from the crisis.
Edition 2022
In the first edition of the Young Cultural Voucher, 4,547 applications were processed in Navarre. This voucher has a duration of one year from the date of concession.
In the application and on the web, the beneficiaries have a counter that tells them how much time they have left to use it. You can also find the list of entities and companies adhered to the program in which they can use their voucher, both physically and online.
