From this Monday until next September 16. That is the deadline for those born in 2006 to apply for the Young Cultural Bonus, which this year reaches its third edition and which grants its beneficiary 400 euros to use in cultural activities. Specifically, in La Rioja, there are around 3,400 citizens who can access it.
Young people interested in applying for the Youth Cultural Bonus can carry out the process personally or through the representation of an adult, for which it is necessary to attach the representation form downloadable on the website, correctly signed by the beneficiary. In these cases, the family book is not a document accrediting representation.
Young people who turn 18 in 2024 who are of Spanish nationality, have legal residence in Spain, are asylum seekers, temporarily displaced or formerly supervised foreigners are entitled to this aid.
Once the aid is granted, young people have one year to use the 400 euros on cultural products or services in participating establishments, which already exceed 3,300 throughout Spain.
The Young Cultural Bonus works with a prepaid card that the beneficiary can have virtually on their mobile phone or receive physically at their home. With this card you can enjoy cultural experiences and products, which are divided into three sections to promote diversification of spending, with the following distribution: 100 euros for physical products, for example, books, press or records; 100 euros for digital products, such as subscriptions to platforms, digital press, podcasts or online video games and 200 euros for performing arts: theater, opera, cinema, dance, museums…
The Young Cultural Bonus is regulated by the Royal Decree, with indefinite validity, which the Council of Ministers approved on March 21, 2023, at the proposal of the Minister of Culture. As in the two previous calls, it has an allocation of 210 million euros in the extended General State Budgets. In 2022, the first year of validity of this initiative, a total of 277,607 people throughout Spain obtained the Young Cultural Bonus and in 2023, it rose to 319,237 beneficiaries.
